When I hear “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” I can’t help but think about Rosemary Kennedy.
September 13, 1918 - January 7, 2005
“In her early young adult years, Rosemary Kennedy experienced seizures and violent mood swings. In response to these issues, her father arranged a prefrontal lobotomy on her in 1941 when she was 23 years of age; the procedure left her permanently incapacitated and rendered her unable to speak intelligibly.
Rosemary Kennedy spent most of the rest of her life being cared for at St. Coletta, an institution in Jefferson, Wisconsin. The truth about her situation and whereabouts was kept secret for decades. While she was initially isolated from her siblings and extended family following her lobotomy, Rosemary did go on to visit them during her later life.” (Wikipedia)
Rosemary’s mother, Rose, would later state that her daughter’s lobotomy was the family’s worst tragedy.
