we see Kerry's daughter with a totally see through dress at Cannes (see picture on Drudge) The reason she is there is more interesting...I have previously noted that Kerry often appears to me to have PTSD. (His outbursts of inappropriate anger and constant referral to Vietnam and his medals are definitely symptoms I have seen in others with this diagnosis.) I can't help but wonder if at some time she had the experiences, she depicts in her film, with her father. Kerry's Daughter Takes Vietnam War Film to Cannes One of US presidential candidate John Kerry’s daughters is at the Cannes Film Festival with a short film on a subject close to home: a little girl coping with her father’s difficult return from the Vietnam War. Alexandra Kerry, a 30-year-old filmmaker, showed The Last Full Measure today in short-movie showcase at the festival. The 15-minute film is a tender portrait of a father and his doting nine-year-old daughter, who is struggling to accept that Vietnam has changed her family. Beyond some aspects of the father-daughter relationship, there is nothing autobiographical about the movie, said Kerry, whose father is a decorated Vietnam veteran. “I wasn’t born when my father came back from Vietnam,” she told reporters after a screening. “The characters are fictional, completely.” The movie shows a man ravaged by war – he sleeps a lot, he needs a shave and his hands shake so badly that he spills wine down the front of his shirt. Despite his problems, he’s affectionate with his daughter. She playfully plucks a hair out of his chest, and she helps him shave when his hands shake too badly to hold the razor. Though the movie is set in the Vietnam War era, Kerry said she wanted it to seem timeless. The filmmaker is one of Senator Kerry’s daughters from his marriage with Julia Thorne. A younger daughter, Vanessa, is a medical student who took time off from Harvard to work on the campaign. After their parents’ marriage fell apart in 1982, the girls lived primarily with their mother. Alexandra Kerry studied anthropology and television at Brown University before attending the American Film Institute. She is also a film and stage actress and had a small role as a bartender in Spartan, the David Mamet thriller released this spring
