Rosemary Kennedy
Rosemary Kennedy is the oldest daughter of Rose and Joseph P. Kennedy Sr.[?] She was born in September 1918, and she was slightly retarded.
The family had problems dealing with this, and in 1941 her father asked a neurosurgeon to perform a prefrontal lobotomy - this was considered a magical cure. This did not have the effect that was foreseen, and afterwards Rosemary was incapable of living a normal life. She has been living in an institution in Wisconsin since that time.
