From their ascent as 'new money' to their establishment as a quintessential 'old money' dynasty, this film peels back layers of history, glamour, and intrigue surrounding the Kennedys.

The narrative begins by tracing the Kennedy family's meteoric rise from 'new money' to 'old money,' a transformation marked by strategic marriages, shrewd business dealings, and a keen understanding of the socio-political landscape. We explore how this ambitious family, initially outsiders to the elite circles of American society, skillfully navigated their way to the upper echelons, eventually becoming synonymous with wealth and power.

"Inside The Kennedy Mansions" offers viewers a rare glimpse into the luxurious homes that served as backdrops to both their public triumphs and private tragedies. From their sprawling Hyannis Port compound to the elegant halls of their Georgetown residence, each mansion tells a story of a family deeply intertwined with American history. These homes, far more than mere structures, were symbols of the Kennedy's rising status and influence.

The documentary then shifts focus to the Kennedy women, often the unsung architects of the family's ascent to 'old money' status. We delve into how they combined grace, intelligence, and a sharp sense of social strategy to solidify the family's place in high society. Through exclusive interviews and archival footage, we uncover the pivotal roles these women played in crafting the Kennedy legacy, often operating behind the scenes to steer the family's course.

"John F. Kennedy, Jr. - The 'Old Money' President That Never Was" is a poignant chapter that explores the life and dreams of JFK Jr., whose tragic death cut short a life of immense potential. We investigate the weight of expectation he carried as a scion of the Kennedy dynasty and the profound impact his loss had on the family's narrative.

The wealth of Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. is examined in detail, revealing the origins of the Kennedy fortune. His story is one of ambition, controversy, and a relentless pursuit of success. We delve into his business ventures and political maneuvers, which not only amassed great wealth but also set the stage for his children's future influence.

Lastly, "Inside The 'Old Money' Fashion Style of the Kennedys" offers a fascinating look at how the family's fashion sense came to epitomize the understated elegance associated with America's elite. From Jackie Kennedy's iconic style to the tailored suits of the Kennedy men, their fashion choices were both a reflection of their status and a blueprint for generations of style-conscious Americans.

"Secrets of the Kennedys" is more than just a documentary; it's a compelling narrative that brings to life the complex tapestry of ambition, power, and style that defines one of America's most legendary families.

Jackie brought life and elegance to the Kennedy dynasty. ❤

[RitaBattey-ywvk]

For it was Jackie’s cloth coat at the inauguration while the other women wore furs, making them look old and stuffy. Jackie was a breath of fresh air. And also the gown she wore in Paris white with exquisite embroidery. I liked JFK in his casual chinos and loafers. s elegant as any of his Brooks Bros suits

[joannejacob]

Jackie Kennedy didn’t turn the Kennedy family into old money, she definitely elevated the image of the Kennedy family.

I love your documentaries and profiles.
Could you make a video about the unsung hero of the Kennedy family- Bridget (Murphy) Kennedy.

Patrick Kennedy and Bridget Murphy immigrated from Ireland to Boston in 1849. Patrick died of TB at age 35 and left widowed Bridget with five children to raise.

Despite being a single mother of five in the 1800's and the Irish people not exactly being looked upon as an admired people by some in America, she worked her way to being a successful small business woman and this provided the foundation of what the Kennedy family would become in succeeding generations.

I have not seen one video, profile or documentary on this woman even though without her where would the Kennedy’s be?

[trawlins]

This was an excellent documentary. Very thorough

[evelynconigliaro]

So as Kennedy, Sr. was working to get where he wanted to &. Be recognized, why isn’t it mentioned what he did to his oldest daughter. President Kennedy and Jackie were and always be my favorite, but what his father did was horrible. All because he wanted to be in the inner circle and rich.

[marymusungu]

Old money, new money every two seconds 😮😮😮

[sds]

JFK an his famous Ray Bans, still have class today. And from suits to chinos, ALWAYS a front crease, still works today from Wrangler jeans to any other mens pant. Jackie and the iconic pearl's, real or fake is my daily go to choice also, from working with the horse's to going out there is a timeless elegance to pearl's.

[joanbeal]

Was the loss of the daughter in a plane crash after the war not worth mentioning???

[mindsEye]

Loved every minute of this video. I would love to see a series on the Bouvier / Lee / Auchincloss family, Lee R, Caroline K, Joan B.

The list goes on and on 😅 Thank you!

Great account of the Kennedy Family! Every nation needs to create its own mythology as it were to lift the soul of the nation so the citizenry internalizes a fake sense of identity!
