Kathleen Kennedy was considered the most lively and vivacious of the
Kennedy sisters. Nicknamed "Kick" by her father, the name seemed to
reflect her love of life. While in England during her father's time
as Ambassador, she fell in love with William Cavendish, the Marquess
of Hartington. Though her family strongly opposed, they were married
in 1944. Only her brother Joe attended from her side of the family.
Kick's new husband was killed just 5 weeks later. After she began
dating again she met Peter Fitzwilliam, another aristocratic
Protestant. Because he was already married they kept their affair
secret. In May of 1948 they decided to fly to Cannes for a long
weekend. They ignored the pilot's warning that the weather was bad
and they should cancel their trip. While flying over the Rhone
valley, a storm pushed the small plane into the side of a mountain,
killing all aboard.
