The daughters of two senior Democratic politicians have both died from brain conditions at the age of 51, it was revealed today.
Eleanor Mondale, the daughter of former Vice President Walter Mondale, succumbed to cancer. And Kara Kennedy, the oldest child of the late Senator Edward Kennedy, after battling a brain tumor.
The remarkable coincidence comes just two years after her father, the brother of assassinated President John F Kennedy, died from the same condition. The family’s many misfortunes - including the assassination of JFK’s brother Robert and the death of his son John F Kennedy Jr in an air crash – have been described as the Kennedy Curse.
Ms Kennedy, who leaves behind her husband of 21 years, Michael Allen, and their two teenage children, died yesterday at a health club in Washington following her daily workout. Patrick Kennedy, a former congressman from Rhode Island, today said of his sister: ‘She's with dad.’
Just 24 hours after Ms Kennedy’s death, Eleanor Mondale, who enjoyed a career as glamorous entertainment reporter and radio show host, died at her home in Minnesota. The party-loving blonde died in her sleep with her husband and dogs at her side, according to a statement posted on her journal page, after a six-year battle with brain cancer.
‘Early Saturday morning, September 17th, 2011, our dearest sweet Eleanor passed away from this world,’ the website CaringBridge.org journal entry said. ‘Eleanor Mondale Poling lived bravely, without regret or fear, with such amazing strength and grace, for 6 years after being diagnosed with brain cancer in 2005.’
