Who is Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis (July 28, 1929 - May 19, 1994) was the wife of John F. Kennedy from 1953 to 1963 and was known as Jacqueline Kennedy or Jackie Kennedy. She served as First Lady of the United States from 1961 until her husband's assassination in 1963. From 1968 until his death in 1975, she was married to Aristotle Onassis and was known as Jacqueline Onassis, Jackie Onassis, or more informally as Jackie O. In later years she had a successful career as a book editor. She preferred her first name to be pronounced in the French manner.

Jacqueline Lee Bouvier was born at Southampton Hospital in Southampton, New York, into New York society. She was the elder daughter of John Vernou Bouvier III (1891-1957) and Janet Norton Lee Bouvier (Auchincloss Morris) (1906-1989). Her name commemorated both sides of her family ("Jacqueline" celebrating three generations of "Jacks" on her father's side and "Lee" celebrating the surname of her maternal grandparents). In attempts to get on the social register both sides of her family were to make exaggerations about her heritage with Bouviers making claims she descended from the royal Fontaines in France and the Lees declaring she was part of the "Virginia Lees." She was of mostly Irish, Scottish, and English descent; her French paternal ancestry is distant, with her last French ancestor being Michel Bouvier, a Philadelphia-based cabinetmaker who was her great grandfather. Jacqueline was joined by a sister, Caroline Lee, known as Lee, in 1933. Her father, nicknamed "Black Jack", was a playboy stockbroker whose womanizing led to his eventual divorce from Janet when Jackie was a young girl. While Black Jack never remarried, Janet married her second husband, Standard Oil heir Hugh D. Auchincloss, Jr. and had two children with him, Jacqueline's half-siblings Janet Jennings and James Auchincloss. In her later years, Jacqueline's mother married Bingham Morris. Jacqueline spent summers of her first 12 years at the estate of her paternal grandparents called Lasata in East Hampton where she became an accomplished equestrienne competing with her favorite horse Danseuse, meaning "female dancer" in French.
