In 1933, Joe Kennedy bought a mansion in Palm Beach, Florida. Across the street lived the George H. Malcolm family who had a beautiful and vivacious but twice divorced daughter named Durie. JFK married Durie on January 24, 1947. Joe was FURIOUS. A divorcée was not Presidential timber, so he had the marriage annulled with all traces of the marriage removed, with a substantial sum for her silence. As a further coverup, she was quickly married to a Thomas Shelvin in July 1947.
