Mary Richardson Kennedy
Mary Kathleen Richardson Kennedy (née Richardson; October 4, 1959 – May 16, 2012) was an American interior designer and philanthropist. She was a proponent of green building and was a co-founder of the Food Allergy Initiative, the largest fund for food allergy research in the United States. Her 2010 legal separation from her husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was highly publicized. Her suicide in 2012 also received national media attention.
Mary Kathleen Richardson was born on October 4, 1959, and was raised in Hoboken, New Jersey. Her father, John F. Richardson, who died when she was 12 years old, was an attorney and a professor at Stevens Institute of Technology. Richardson's mother was Nancy Higgins, a public school English teacher. Richardson had four sisters and two brothers.
She attended The Putney School, where she became friends and roommates with Kerry Kennedy, the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy and Ethel Skakel Kennedy. She later roomed with Kerry Kennedy in college and served as her maid of honor at her wedding in 1990 to Andrew Cuomo.
Richardson attended Brown University and studied architectural design at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD).
Richardson spent a year working for the artist Andy Warhol in 1979-80. While Edward Kennedy was running for president in 1980, Mary Richardson, then age 20, had raised donations of artwork from Warhol and other prominent artists in his network, including Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein, and Julian Schnabel.
In 1981, Richardson earned $500 per hour as a model for fashion designer Bill Blass.
After studying architecture at RISD, Richardson lived in SoHo, Manhattan, in the 1980s, and was active in the bohemian culture.
In 1993, Richardson worked for the firm Parrish Hadley Design as an architectural designer. She was involved in the renovation of the Naval Observatory in Washington, DC, the official residence of the Vice President of the United States. Her work involved green building practices and was certified through the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program. Following flood damage to her home in 2003, Richardson oversaw a massive salvage job and green rebuild project known as the Kennedy Green House Project.
