“Every day, people walk up to her and say, ‘I'm such a big fan of your father, he inspired me to do this,' and she's handled that so well,” Grayson said.
Asked in 2012 if she ever felt overwhelmed by the legacy of the Kennedy years and the carefully cultivated image of a modern day Camelot, Kennedy said simply, “I can't imagine having better parents and a more wonderful brother. So I feel really fortunate that those are my family, and I wish they were here.
“But my own family, my children, my husband, are really my real family and so ... we're just us.”
Raised in privilege on New York's Upper East Side, Kennedy earned a Columbia law degree but rather than practice law, she chose to write and edit books about the right to privacy, poetry and other subjects.
