Max Kennedy
Summary
Matthew Maxwell Taylor "Max" Kennedy (born January 11, 1965) is an American lawyer and author. He is the ninth child of Robert F. Kennedy and Ethel Skakel Kennedy.
Max Kennedy was born in New York City's Roosevelt Hospital on January 11, 1965, the ninth child of the eleven children of Robert F. Kennedy and Ethel Skakel Kennedy. Kennedy was baptized as a Catholic by William Jerome McCormack at St. Patrick's Cathedral in front of a crowd of 200 people. He is named after General Maxwell D. Taylor, then U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam. Kennedy was hospitalized in Bethesda, Maryland, at age 12 after he suffered an injury in an elevator accident at the Rockville home of his uncle and aunt, Sargent and Eunice Kennedy Shriver.
Described as "wild in his youth," Kennedy was expelled from Phillips Academy. He graduated from Moses Brown School in Providence, Rhode Island in 1983, and achieved sobriety in 1985.
Kennedy graduated from Harvard College. He then graduated from the University of Virginia School of Law. In 1991, he married Victoria Anne Strauss, the granddaughter of Maurice "Moe" Strauss.
Kennedy was formerly an assistant district attorney in the Philadelphia DA's Office, where he prosecuted felonies and worked in the juvenile crime unit. After three years in the prosecutor's office, he moved to Los Angeles, where he lived in Brentwood, and interrupted his legal career to compile a book on his father. The work, Make Gentle the Life of This World: The Vision of Robert F. Kennedy and the Words That Inspired Him, was published by Harcourt Brace in 1998. Kennedy later returned to the East to lead the Water-shed Institute at Boston College, an environmental nonprofit group, and was chairman of the re-election campaign of his uncle, U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy, in 2000. Kennedy also taught English at Boston College for a time.
In 2001, Kennedy explored a campaign for the Democratic nomination for the Massachusetts's 9th congressional district, a seat vacated by Democrat Joe Moakley, and moved from Cambridge to the 9th district in preparation for a possible run.
