The daughters of two legendary Democratic politicians have died: Kara Kennedy, the oldest child of the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, and Eleanor Mondale, the daughter of former Vice President Walter F. Mondale.
Both women had been battling cancer. Their deaths were announced by their families Saturday, according to the Associated Press.
. . .
[Kennedy] had help run her father's 1988 Senate reelection campaign and was a member of the advisory board of the National Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
. . .
Eleanor Mondale had a bit of a wild streak. She had a relationship with rock musician Warren Zevon and had been a TV actress with bit parts in "Three's Company" and "Dynasty" before becoming an entertainment reporter on radio and TV.
