Joan Bennett Kennedy is the ex- wife of Ted Kennedy. She was born on September 2 of 1936. She married Ted on November 29, 1958. They had 3 children together and then were "splitzo" on December 6, 1982. She is a very serious alchoholic, mos likely because of her ex's womanizing and the Mary Jo Chappaqudick incident. Her children have guardianship of her and she was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and has undergone surgery. Pretty sad I know that much.
