Answer 1

Not ALL Kennedys are cursed.  Ted Kennedy has had a long and productive career in politics.  But there was a child of the Kennedys that was born somewhat .. "slow" .. and was confined to an institution and never spoken of.

Answer 2

Ted Kennedy (Chappaquiddick incident)

Rose Kennedy (lobotomy accident)

Kathleen Kennedy (Airplane crash)

Joseph Kennedy Jr (Died while on mission)

David Kennedy (Drug overdose)

Michael Kennedy (Skiing Accident)

I wouldn't say their "cursed". Just a whole lot of incidents of bad luck.

Answer 3

You take ten families of the general size of the Kennedies, and you'll likely find several who have suffered numerous trials as the Kennedies did, whether through disease, accident, or trauma. Add to that their involvment in politics, making many of them the target of assassins, and I'd say they have not been especially blessed or cursed. And unlike many large families, they have had the financial resources to help ease them through the suffering.
