What did Kick Kennedy say about her family?
Although Kick has not commented on her father’s bid for the Oval Office, she has occasionally commented over the years about what it’s like to live with the Kennedy surname.
“People ask me, ‘What is it like to be a Kennedy?'” she said City and country in 2012. “Maybe it’s just the water temperature, but I’m like, ‘I have no idea.’ When I see my face or my name in the tabloids, I get a knot in my stomach. That’s just not me – I’m reading something that’s not real.”
So fame was never the main reason for her acting career.
“I was born with a label – a name – that made me completely uninterested in the fame factor of success,” she added to the outlet. “I see all my actor friends really trying that way because it’s such a big part of the job, but it kind of turns me off. I’m scared of it, or at least uninterested and not amused by it.”
So if Antigone When production came two years later, she had long-term hopes for what she would accomplish with the production. “Hopefully one day people will come to see me do something that has nothing to do with my last name,” she told the AP“For me, these are simply two different things. This is a job. This is my life.”
And what about the infamous but alleged Kennedy family “curse” that sent many of its family members to an early grave?
“We are an ambitious family and there are many of us,” Kick noted. “And with numbers come some painful things here and there, but also many joyful things.”
