The beautiful daughter of the powerful and prominent Kennedy had the best of everything, but something wasn't quite like the other Kennedy daughters.  She was considered "intellectually disabled."  As she got older the Kennedy family was not comfortable having her seen in public. She was institutionalized and had a lobotomy and basically hidden away the remainder of her life.
