So now Joe Kennedy is on the show. Should be interesting to see how they play him and if the Kennedy family objects to his portrayal, especially if they say he was a bootlegger during prohibition.
It's a pretty well known fact that Kennedy was involved with bootleggers. It would be pointless for his family to object.
I agree with you SC, i have always thought and read that Kennedy was. But i've read a couple historians say he wasn't. But maybe they're on the Kennedy payroll, i really don't know.
David Nasaw who wrote the book "The Patriarch: The Remarkable Life and Turbulent Times of Joseph P. Kennedy" is one of the guys who claims he wasn't.
