Her mother and grandmother died two days after she was born. Theodore suffered a mental break afterward and never allowed his wife's name to be mentioned in his presence.
Didn't Nancy Reagan ride in cars with men too ..m I feel like Sammy Davis Jr. used to go on car rides with her a lot .... Oh, harmless little car rides .....
I mean her dad seems like quite the blast/party animal/action man to be around as well. Absolutely no surprise she turned out like her dad. Just she did it in a time/era where it was very frowned on for young ladies to act this way. He honestly probable didn't even dislike her rebellious streak other than the headache it gave him from badgering over political image from party/outside of party. That was a pretty good way for him to say "I have better things to do than control my daughters life."
There is something curious about gender stereotypes and expectations regarding men and women that drive men and women to say that they are not like other men or women.

No paternity test needed, she is indeed Teddy's daughter.

Well sounds like she was taking care of herself just fine, and Theo minded his own business - which was running the country.

Way better than Daddy Kennedy who said, “oh, you think you’re going to be sexually free under my home rules?” And then he scramble her brains.
