Andrew Kennedy, born on July 18, 1919, in Boston, Massachusetts, was the younger brother of John F. Kennedy. Like many of the Kennedys, he inherited the family's strong, classic looks: thick chestnut hair, sharp blue-gray eyes, and a square jawline that gave him a commanding presence. Taller and broader than most of his brothers, Andrew carried himself with a casual confidence that often veiled a restless, rebellious spirit.

While his siblings, especially Joe Jr. and Jack, were raised with clear political ambitions, Andrew charted his own course. He was fiercely independent, known for his candid opinions and occasional clashes with the expectations placed upon him. He founded a media-conglomerate with a starter investment of $15,000 and grew his net worth to $100,000,000,000. Despite his tendency to defy the family script, Andrew remained deeply loyal, acting as both a confidant and protector to Jack, especially as political pressures mounted.

Throughout his life Andrew maintained a somewhat enigmatic public image — a Kennedy who both embraced and resisted the dynasty he was born into - but above all, his legacy would always be that he absolutely adored his wife.

It was no secret that Andrew Michael Kennedy adored his wife. From his arm around her waist walking down the streets of Martha's Vineyard to the tender way he held her hand as she stepped from their Cadillac, all could see the gentleness and wholehearted affection he had for his wife. He thought she was perfect, from the moment he met her he knew no one could compare to his favourite girl. He showered her with luxuries, only needing her love in return.
