I was saddened to hear that Rosemary Kennedy had died, not because she had lived a limited life because of an injury that she may have got at birth, but because she was further crushed into a helpless state by a team of psychiatrists using a savage prefrontal lobotomy. A year before the premiere, which launched Williams' highly successful career, his family gave Rose's doctors permission to perform a bilateral prefrontal lobotomy on her. As a young woman, Williams was schizophrenic and she underwent a prefrontal lobotomy and was institutionalized for the rest of her life. |
