Trivia

• Has 4 adopted children
• He enlisted in the Army during World War II and went on to serve 16 years, both in combat, and in his later years, as an Armed Forces Radio and Television officer.
• He and Joan adopted their granddaughter in 1998, after their daughter was ruled unfit.
• One of his first roles in film was that of a slave in Spartacus (1960). When the crowd was asked for Spartacus, he was the last close-up of a slave yelling "I am Spartacus".
• In the early 1970s, Paramount had plans that were unrealized to remake Double Indemnity (1944) with Kennedy in the Edward G. Robinson role.
• He is the only actor to appear in all four of the "Airport" movie series.
• Recently hosted the creation of a driving safety video.
• Due to his tall, enormously-broad frame, Kennedy was frequently cast in the 1960s and 1970s as huge bullies and during that period he had the distinction of brutalizing stars like Cary Grant, Paul Newman, and Clint Eastwood on screen while gaining a reputation off-screen as one of the nicest actors around. By his 60s, he finally got the chance to play friendler characters, such as his lovable Captain Ed Hocken in "The Naked Gun" films.
• As an officer in WW2, he served under General George S. Patton, and later went on to portray Patton in _Brass Target (1979)_
• Before his acting career really took off, he served as a military consultant on "Phil Silvers Show, The" (1955)
