How did Jacqueline Kennedy really feel about her very public life and her husband's many affairs? Why does her very name to this day personify elegant and grace?
Her very name personifies wealth privilege and a proximity to royalty that few Americans ever achieve in their lifetime. From the days of American Camelot when her husband, John Kennedy, was president of the United States to her later years as an editor for Doubleday and an activist, Jacqueline Kennedy never wavered in her projection of elegance, beauty and grace.
The story of her life is one of wealth and high society, but not one without its share of suffering and adversity. She found little solace in her husband's family in dealing with his many affairs, and she stood alone in her fight to protect her children from the relentless eyes and cameras of ubiquitous photographers.
Her essence is forever emblazoned on the cover and headline of Look Magazine the week her husband was murdered. The words, "Valiant is the Word for Jackie" live forever in the minds and hearts of those who lived through that terrible time in American history. She refused medication to dull her unbearable pain during those dark days because she felt it was more important for her to lead the nation in mourning its slain president and to be there for her children.
Read all about this fascinating woman whose life ended too soon in May of 1994.
