What a sprawling beautiful home this is !! Beautiful both inside and out. I’ve heard of th Kennedy Florida vacation home. I never realized how big it was . Really like the layout . The grounds are so pretty. They really had a lot of money and luxury around them. Beautiful indeed☺️👌

[@virginiaboone9503]

The money was made in a nefarious manner by old Joe… he was a grim character. Cheated on Rose repeatedly while she had baby after baby, lobotomized his own daughter, was a bootlegger and more. The treatment of Kennedy women has been sad for generations.

At about 1:35 it appears that Jackie is smoking a cigarette. Or at least getting ready to light up. I saw the picture and thought how could that be? She didn't smoke....or did she?! A quick Google search reveals that she had a serious smoking habit for quite some time. Who knew? Anyway, I'll take the Winter Whitehouse over the one at 1600 Penn. Ave. any day! Hey Cultured Elegance, how about a vid on the Getty's? I just read a great book on the family. "Growing up Getty". They're a fascinating family.

[@zeldasmith6154]

Jackie was a chain smoker.

[@rhondablack8079]

Jackie was almost a chain smoker. She hid it most of the time. She smoked through out her pregnancies. She had miscarriages. A stillbirth and premature births. I don’t think smoking was known to be dangerous yet for pregnant women

[@myboibill]

Jackie was a chain smoker. But no one was allowed to show her smoking or even handling a cigarette. Back then the press cooperated. It is rare to find a picture that she’s holding a cigarette that was released to the public. She was an elegant lady and we were a better nation when she was our first lady. We owe her got it thanks for making us realize our hysterical past and saving it before it’s been too late. Hard to believe she’s gone.

[@thedowagerd.2431]

@@myboibill Looks like Rose with a cigarette too. 2:08

[@wintercame]

I often wondered if it contributed to her lymphoma and early death. Jackie was a 3 pack per day smoker for 40 years, preferring Salems, and only quit upon the request of Caroline when she was diagnosed with Hodgkins in early 1994. The press was not permitted to take photos of her with a cigarette and in those days they complied by and large so photos are quite rare.

No one ever talks about how the Kennedy family originally got their money. Bootlegging during prohibition.

[@cocoaddams4502]

Everybody knows that. Check any millionaire, though, and you'll find their money has a dark history. The Bush family provided supplies to Nazis despite it being illegal. The state department had to tell them repeatedly to stop. They didn't stop until 1943. Check out how many people were killed by Carnegie or Gould when they sent cops in to break up workers strikes.

[@ceceliamonge3235]

And for EVERY bottle of scotch bought in this country, they get a financial bite - to this day.

@harley8680, that story has been well documented in literature and on screen. All Joseph Kennedy did was provide liquor to those who could pay for it; a product which had always been lawful. Anyone would agree that Prohibition was a failed experiment.
