Linda Corley, an Emmy Award-winning writer, and a close friend of Bob Davidoff, interviewed him before his death in 2004, which brought to light the wonderful stories associated with the many never-before seen photos of the Kennedy family in Palm Beach. The interview provided the anecdotes behind the pictures and captures many of the family's unscripted moments, from Jackie surprising her husband on the tarmac of the Palm Beach airport to Rose leading a family sing-along in her home.
From fancy balls, formal benefits, and important charity events such as the Special Olympics, to lounging on the presidential yacht the Honey Fitz, shopping on Worth Avenue, and Easter Mass at St. Edward's Church, THE KENNEDY FAMILY ALBUM paints a personal portrait of the daily lives of America's First Family.
About the Authors:
Linda Corley is a producer and reporter for WPBT in Miami, and has produced programs for PBS for the last 20 years. She is the recipient of many top broadcast awards, including six Emmy awards for excellence in the areas of writing and producing. Corley lives in Parkland, FL.
Bob Davidoff was a Palm Beach society photographer who was first befriended by Rose Kennedy in 1959, which earned him entrée into the private world of the Kennedys in the decades that followed. The legendary Davidoff was a fixture in the Kennedy Florida household, and many of his rare photographs eventually landed in the personal scrapbooks of the Kennedys, and are still treasured by members of the family today.
Clearly an integral part of the Kennedy clan, Senator Edward M. Kennedy remarked in the book's foreword,
"Bob Davidoff was a magnificent photographer and a loyal friend. His remarkable personality and charming sense of humor had us all smiling whenever he aimed his camera our way. For me, his legacy will live on in the wonderful photographs he took of our family over the years..."
