Ted Kennedy, Dead at 77 - A Lifetime in Pictures

Sad day indeed. Let's take a look back at some memorable moments for a man who was larger than life, if you figure life to be around 235 lbs.





Ted is congratulated upon graduating from the Barbazon School of Hair Design. He would, of course, leave the cutthroat world of cosmetology to pursue a simpler life in politics.






Ted seen setting up for his annual charitable "Chappaquiddick Crash Course in Drunk Driving and Damage Control". It has been credited with changing many lives.






Ted showing his lighter side, giving a speech in drag to schoolchildren before leading them in trick-or-treating during Halloween in Hyannis.





Ted enjoying a moment of reflection with a constituent in Massachusetts, who famously asked him: "Seriously, why did you eat the last four sandwiches?"




Ted allowing Barack Obama to escort him out of the 2008 Democratic Convention for being over-served. Many credit this move of humility and generosity on Ted's part with swaying the all-important "Drunk White Guy" vote to the Democrats.
