Caroline Kennedy
This post in the Kennedy Center Honors thread brings up a good question:
"Hasn't Caroline Kennedy been hosting in the post-Walter Cronkite years? She wasn't there this year. Or at the Bush funeral. Are we sure she's well?"
Well is she in good health?

Caroline Kennedy
While working at the Met, Kennedy met her future husband, exhibit designer Schlossberg. They married in 1986 at Our Lady of Victory Church in Centerville, Massachusetts.[30] Kennedy's first cousin Maria Shriver served as the bride's matron of honor, and Ted later walked her down the aisle.
Kennedy is sometimes incorrectly referred to as: "Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg", but she did not change her name at the time she married.[1][2] Kennedy has three children: Rose Kennedy Schlossberg (born 1988), Tatiana Celia Kennedy Schlossberg (born 1990), and John Bouvier Kennedy Schlossberg, known as Jack (born 1993).

I think she's probably just enjoying her lovely life. She was certainly raised by mother who wasn't urging her kids to go out and be in the press.
Caroline's in her early 60s and her kids are raised. She one of the richest Kennedys around (she's got HER Kennedy money - which she only had to split with one sibling, rather than say 10 others like Bobby's kids - plus her 1/2 of her Mom's Onassis money, plus her 1/2 of the "Buy Jackie O's Used-Kleenex-and-Kitchen-Sponges" Sotheby's Auction, PLUS, as his only heir, -- her brother John's Kennedy money, PLUS John's half of Mom's Onassis and Sotheby's Auction money.) She may have done better by outliving them than her cousin Maria Shriver did divorcing Arnold.
Pretty much her whole adult life she's lived a lot more privately (following her mother's example) than you'd expect from someone who could have taken up the public, political Kennedy side of her genes. It seems that when Caroline was being put up for appointment to the Senate when Hillary quit to be Sec of State, she withdrew once she realized how much public info she'd have to release. I'm sure she enjoyed her more private consolation prize of getting to spend some easy time as ambassador to Japan.. Now she can just kick back and live the pleasant life of being famed, established, NYC old money. Seems ideal to me.

R3 Most of it was put in trusts for Caroline’s kids.

Thanks, OP, for making my question from the other thread a thread of its own!

Who got Friday the dog?
And is Caroline still married to Schlossberg?

I didn’t realize Caroline Kennedy wasn’t there. That is really odd—she’s been to every one of them pretty much. She’s also been to the funerals, including Barbara Bush’s earlier this year. Could be family illness or trouble. The event is publicized way in advance so I can’t imagine she had a conflict. Something’s definitely up.

[R7] She and Schlossberg are still married, but my understanding is that they haven't really been together for quite some time.

If she had ended up being Paterson's choice to replace Hillary in the Senate, we probably would be talking about Caroline running for president in '20, 60 years after her father's election.

I hear unsavory things about her husband...he's some sort of bully. Mean to the household staff and quite pushy to others as well.

Not surprising for some reason. I wonder why she doesn't divorce him.

A very-facelifted Maria Shriver co-hosted the 4th hour of Today this week, but no mention of cousin Caroline.

Caroline got all the brains and no looks. Her brother was just the opposite.

As she showed during her ill fated political run, she isn't exactly brainy either. Get those fucking teeth fixed bitch.

RFK Jr (no paragon of virtue himself) HATED Ed Schlossberg and resented his nastiness, which he detailed in his diaries, the ones that were stolen and published a few years ago, after his wife committed suicide. Said he was outright mean to the Bessette clan in the immediate aftermath of JFK Jr's fatal plane crash, at a point telling one them "only Kennedys get to speak at this funeral" when they were planning the joint memorial for John and Carolyn. Very snobbish and high on himself if to be believed.

I disagree, R17. I think Caroline has wonderful bone structure.

She looks a lot like Jackie but with dad's horse teeth.

No one needed to see Caroline galumphing onto the elegant Kennedy Center stage wearing some horrid, ill-fitting dress and speaking in an inarticulate monotone that would start the festivities on a death knell once again.

I met Caroline Kennedy at a book sighing. Very nice. Instead of having her sign the usual front page I opened my book to a poem by Jackie. She looked up smiled a me and said: "That's my favorite too." I replied "Thanks Mrs Kennedy" She responded "Thank you"She had brilliant blue eyes but they were very sad. Wore a Swatch watch. Her hands were very gnarled.. Posed for a snap with me. Gracious like her mum.
