What was it about the Kennedy's that attracted so much tragedy, that many believed them to be cursed?
From plane disasters in World War 2, to drug overdoses and of course, assassinations - it has to be said, they had their fair share.

Joining Kate today to explore the so-called Kennedy curse is Barbara Perry, Professor in Presidential Studies at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center, where she co-directs the Presidential Oral History Program.
