Birthday: Ethel Kennedy

Born in 1928 Ethel Skakel married Robert Kennedy on June 17, 1950. As her husband became Attorney General under his brother's administration Ethel became a prominent member of the Kennedy clan. She also proved to be very fertile as she was carrying her eleventh child at the time of her husband's assassination. Two of her sons have died pre-maturely: Michael of a skiing accident and David of suicide. Her daughter Kathleen is currently Lt. Governor of Maryland.

Along with being the matriarch of the Kennedy family Ethel heads numerous charities and is a devout Catholic.

If Ethel Kennedy died today she would be worth 23 points for Izzy.
