Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy — JFK’s little sister — died in a plane crash in 1948 at just 28 years old. But her grand-niece and namesake, Kick Kennedy, is keeping her memory alive.
The 28-year-old actress, who visited the grave of her great aunt in July, posted a looping video of “Kick 1” to her Instagram page Thursday.
The epic throwback shows the late Kick mid-conversation, wearing a long-sleeve yellow top while holding her plaid jacket. Her hair pulled back in a clip and her silver necklace laid over her top, the video is a sweet reminder of a woman who’s life was cut tragically short.

Before her tragic death in a plane crash at 28, Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy was the star of the Kennedy family. Nicknamed "Kick" for her high-spirited personality, she was her father's favorite: charming, outgoing, and fiercely driven - just like her older brother, John F. Kennedy. "Like Jack, nothing stopped her. She was his psychological twin," says author Barbara Leaming, whose new biography, Kick Kennedy, offers a fresh look at the beloved but rebellious Kennedy daughter, who took Britain's stodgy aristocratic world by storm when she arrived in London with her family in 1938. "Kick was as aggressive, as ambitious, as eager for power [as her brother]," Leaming adds.

Kennedy, the U.S. ambassador to Great Britain, and his wife, Rose - arrived in London in 1938, she caused an unlikely sensation. In the new biography Kick Kennedy, author Barbara Leaming reveals fresh insight into the Kennedy daughter who died in a plane crash in 1948, just four years after her eldest brother, Joe Jr., was killed in a top-secret mission during World War II. Kick, Leaming writes, was "actually quite plain in appearance. Her hair was a shade of 'mousy brown,...
