41. He even had her on the boat with his wife and kids, the basstid! No shame, really!

Plus, he ruined her career--she was truly "seduced and abandoned." He promised to manage her career, instead he made it worse. Eventually he dumped her. In the meantime, he waved her in front of his wife in the rudest way--no wonder poor Rose was such a miserable person.

Not a nice guy.

Like Howard Hughes and others, Kennedy was not immune to Hollywood’s feminine charms. Kennedy’s took the form of a very public liaison with reigning movie queen Gloria Swanson. Not yet 30, Swanson decided to produce her own pictures. Independent of his several day jobs, Kennedy became her banker, advisor and lover. They produced the big budget flop “Queen Kelly.” Joe complained that he had lost his shirt ($1 million) on the film. However, most of the money was lost by Swanson because the astute Kennedy had secured his investment with a cut of Swanson’s future (profitable) vehicles. You might say that Joe Kennedy screwed Gloria Swanson literally and figuratively. Their affair lasted long after their business arrangement. She was often a guest in the Kennedy home. Rose was a friendly and gracious hostess, and the children were smitten by the Hollywood star.
