Book Reviews of The Kennedy Family Album: Personal Photos of America's First Family
Book Review: The Kennedy Family Album
Summary: 5 Stars
The Kennedy Family Album is an outstanding book. The photographs are remarkable and the numerous captions as well as the story's were both funny and heart warming. The story's involving Rose Kennedy were especially good. The one heart breaker was the photo of President Kennedy leaving Palm Beach a few days before he went to Dallas. It was titled "The Last Photograph". There he was shaking hands with a friend, big smile. The date was 15 Nov 63.
Very enjoyable were the story's about the various Kennedy family children. Caroline and John of course and there many cousins. Especially good were the short stories about Maria Shriver.
There are also photos and story's about the Kennedy adults. As mentioned earlier Rose Kennedy, JFK, Jackie, Bobby, Ted and many more.
If you liked the Kennedy's this is a must have book. The star of this book is the man behind the camera, Bob Davidoff. He was chosen by Rose Kennedy to be the "official" photographer for the Kennedy's when they were in Palm Beach. He did a magnificent job. He held this position for many years. Yes, an outstanding book.
Summary of The Kennedy Family Album: Personal Photos of America's First Family
Up until his death in 2004, Bob Davidoff had been the photographer in residence at the Kennedy?s ?Winter White House??better known as their Palm Beach home. For almost fifty years, Davidoff chronicled the extended Kennedy clan on holiday, capturing the youthful JFK and his beautiful family during their moments of fun and relaxation. The legendary Davidoff was a fixture in the Kennedy Florida household, and many of his photos are part of the family?s personal collections.
Now, for the first time in book form, Bob Davidoff?s Kennedy photos of their days in the sun?in Palm Beach as well as in Hyannis Port, Sun Valley, and other favorite getaway spots?have been collected in The Kennedy Family Album. Linda Corley, an Emmy Award-winning writer, provides the anecdotes behind the pictures and captures many of their unscripted moments, from Jackie surprising her husband on the tarmac of the Palm Beach airport to Rose leading a family sing-along. Most of these photos have never been seen by the general public, making The Kennedy Family Album a truly unique and unstaged portrait of ?America?s royal family.?
