Jacqueline Kennedy (Onassis)


This lens is about Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, former first lady, and always a class act. Jackie was always a women of style and grace no matter what happened to those around her. She always held her head up high, even when confronted with rumors of her husband's infidelity.

She was an amazing woman who survived her husband's assassination, and the death of two of her infants. Through all of life's trauma, Jackie had a quiet strength and great spirit which I truly admired. This lens is all about her.

“Jackie Quote:
I'll be a wife and mother first, then First Lady.”

Always a lady of class

Jackie- An Enigma



Jackie could have been considered an enigma.She was very private and shy, but at times, particularly in large groups, she liked to be the center of attention.Sometimes seen as aloof, she enjoyed her work, her children and her grandchildren. She refused to give interviews or talk about JFK, but at she was also outspoken about causes near and dear to her.
