Named her son Joseph after Joseph Kennedy, which, omitting the "P", gives him the initials JFK.

1. The Power of "Clumping" and Family Size
While the list is long, the "Kennedy family" is actually quite massive. Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy had 9 children, who eventually produced 29 grandchildren and dozens of great-grandchildren.
The denominator: Across four generations, the family includes nearly 100 people. Statistically, in any group of 100 people over a 80-year span, there will be multiple premature deaths, illnesses, and accidents.
2. High-Risk Lifestyles
The Kennedys lived lives that were significantly higher-risk than the average American family. Their tragedies often stem from three specific categories that aren't "bad luck" in the traditional sense...
... If you compare the Kennedys to other political dynasties (like the Bushes, the Rockefellers, or the Adams family), the Kennedys do have a higher-than-average number of sudden, violent deaths. However, most historians argue this is a combination of their immense visibility (which makes them targets for assassination) and a family culture that prized high-stakes risk-taking.

(21,613 posts)The name carried so much weight that the media scrutiny was intense.
ALSO...during "Camelot"...we basically had Walter Cronkite and Huntley & Brinkley. No Internet. No YouTube. No Social Media. No 24/7 news cycle.
We got whatever the evening news (and actual print newspapers) gave us. And what they gave us was a lot of Kennedy coverage, so the people who were not JFK, were not Bobby, were not Jackie, all had to live under the glare of that same spotlight.
So whatever perks came from having that family name also carried a mind-numbingly unfair amount of media coverage and scrutiny. It's a trade-off. Famous people seldom get one without the other.

(68,931 posts)Joe Kennedy, Jr. didn't die in a "private aviation accident." He was killed in action during war.
The reference to Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy confused me because the contemporary Kick Kennedy is still living. I had to go to Wiki to learn that there was a Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy in the family who died in a private plane crash in 1948.
Unfortunately, I don't think AI can answer your question. You'd probably need to ask a statistician and provide them with all the data.

(68,931 posts)Trump is one severely damaged, evil person. It's the hundreds of millions of Americans - many of whom call themselves Christians - who think he's terrific who worry me.
Those people walk among us.
Happy New Year😀

(6,143 posts)center. One that bowled me over was, "Trump always supported the arts. The Kennedys supported the Kennedys."
HUH? When did Drumpf ever support the arts beyond having his own portraits painted? (And even then, one artist had to fight to get paid.)
