Chancelante, Jacqueline Kennedy participe aux cérémonies d'investiture de son mari le 20 janvier 1961. En ce jour historique, John lui a été infidèle, comme toujours. La personnalité de la Première Dame a construit l'image de la présidence et fait d'elle l'icône de sa génération. Le 22 novembre 1963, sa vie bascule dans le drame. En organisant les funérailles de son mari, elle crée Le mythe. Beaucoup de questions restent en suspens. Introvertie pendant son enfance et son adolescence, était-elle avide de reconnaissance ? Elle appréciait ou détestait de Gaulle et Nehru selon les circonstances, idolâtrait André Malraux, méprisait Indira Gandhi. Où puisait-elle ses opinions ? Le public lui a prêté des aventures avec Marlon Brando ou son beau-frère Bobby... En épousant Aristote Onassis, la veuve de l'Amérique est tombée de son piédestal. Fruit de plusieurs années de recherches, ce livre s'attache au comportement d'une jeune femme toute simple qui a accédé au premier rang de la scène politique mondiale sans en connaître les rouages.Biographie de l'auteurRégine Torrent est journaliste, productrice de télévision, historienne et spécialiste des...

Noting how Jackie's celebrity and devotion to privacy have for years precluded a more serious treatment, Perry's story illuminates Kennedy's immeasurable impact on the institution of the first lady. Perry illustrates the complexities of Jacqueline Bouvier's marriage to John F. Kennedy, and shows how she transformed herself from a reluctant political wife to an effective, confident presidential partner. Perry is especially illuminating in tracing the first lady's mastery of political symbolism and imagery, along with her use of television and state entertainment to disseminate her work to a global audience.

To mark John F. Kennedy's centennial, celebrate the life and legacy of the 35th President of the United States. In 1964, Jacqueline Kennedy recorded seven historic interviews about her life with John F. Kennedy. Now, for the first time, they can be read in this deluxe, illustrated eBook. Shortly after President John F. Kennedy's assassination, with a nation deep in mourning and the world looking on in stunned disbelief, Jacqueline Kennedy found the strength to set aside her own personal grief for the sake of posterity and begin the task of documenting and preserving her husband's legacy. In January of 1964, she and Robert F. Kennedy approved a planned oral-history project that would capture their first-hand accounts of the late President as well as the recollections of those closest to him throughout his extraordinary political career. For the rest of her life, the famously private Jacqueline Kennedy steadfastly refused to discuss her memories of those years, but beginning that March, she fulfilled her obligation to future generations of Americans by sitting down with historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., and recording an astonishingly detailed and unvarnished account of her...

Jackie After O

Autor: Tina Cassidy

Número de Páginas: 206

Former Boston Globe reporter Tina Cassidy delivers a remarkable account of one year in the life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, America’s favorite first lady and an international icon. 1975 was a year of monumental changes for Jackie: it was the year she lost her second husband, shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, saved one of New York City’s cultural landmarks at Grand Central Station, and found her true calling—not as a powerful man’s wife or the mother of future leaders, but as a woman of the workforce with a keen mind and a dedication to excellence. Readers of Christopher Andersen’s Jackie After Jack and Pamela Clarke Keogh’s Jackie Style will find no better look at the intimate world of America’s Queen of Camelot than Tina Cassidy’s Jackie After O.

The Secret Memoirs of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Autor: Ruth Francisco

Número de Páginas: 372

Jackie Kennedy quite famously said, "I want to live my life, not record it." She remains elusive, her interior life hidden, her feelings and motivations secret. Yet who has not wondered what lay behind those sunglasses? Haven't we all wondered how Jackie felt about Jack's womanizing? How could she not have known? How did she tolerate it? How did her childhood passions and turbulent family life shape her choices? How did her love of fashion and culture influence the White House? What did she think about Marilyn Monroe? Why did she ever marry Onassis? What made her take a job in publishing when she clearly didn't need one? How did she endure the loss of her babies, the pressure of the Kennedy political machine, the murder of her husband, the never ending paparazzi, and the news of her imminent death? In this powerful, poignant, and sweeping novel, Ruth Francisco tells Jackie's story in Jackie's voice and boldly plunges into the subtext of her public life, reimagining her thoughts and feelings between the lines of recorded history.

The Eloquent Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Autor: Bill Adler

Número de Páginas: 260

As her own words prove well, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis could be at times funny, buoyant, candid, irreverent, and of course poignant, too. This collection of quotes shares her thoughts on marriage, family, political life and ambition, publicity, privacy, and more as she confided them to intimate friends, family, and interviewers alike. Memories of her childhood, her love for Jack, her children and grandchildren, the Kennedys, her often misunderstood marriage to Aristotle Onassis, her years as a widow, and her later companionship with Maurice Tempelsman are all represented here, as are some rather remarkable correspondences with the Johnsons, the Nixons, and the Khrushchevs. A sampling of her wit and wisdom: "I was a tomboy. I decided to learn to dance and I became feminine." "Well, I think my biggest achievement is that, after going through a rather difficult time, I consider myself comparatively sane." "When Harvard men say they have graduated from Radcliffe, then we've made it." "If Jack proved to be the greatest president of the century and his children turned out badly, it would be a tragedy." Forty years ago, when the nation was coming out from under a period of mourning,...

Jacqueline Kennedy, née Bouvier, n'a laissé ni autobiographie ni mémoires. " Son silence sur son passé, rappela le New York Times à sa mort en 1994, surtout sur les années Kennedy et son mariage avec le Président, a toujours été voilé de mystère. " C'est donc un document exceptionnel que ces entretiens, demeurés secrets pendant presque cinquante ans : au printemps 1964, quelques mois seulement après la mort de son mari, elle a accepté de revenir sur ces années cruciales avec l'historien Arthur M Schlesinger. Dans cette contribution unique, il est évidemment beaucoup question de John F. Kennedy : sa vie de sénateur, ses campagnes, sa foi catholique, ses relations avec ses frères. II y est aussi question de leur couple, de ce qu'ils se disaient en privé, et de la conception qu'avait Jacqueline du rôle de " First Lady". L'Histoire se rencontre à chaque ligne, depuis les visites d'Etat où Mme Kennedy suivait son époux (en France notamment où elle s'est entretenue avec de Gaulle) jusqu'à la tourmente de la crise de Cuba ; on croise les portraits des principales figures politiques de l'époque Khrouchtchev, Nehru, Nixon, Lyndon Johnson, dont certaines ne sont...

"I have just seen McCall's and so has Jack and we are so happy... They are the only pictures I've ever seen of me where I don't look like something out of a horror movie. If I'd realized what a wonderful photographer you were... I never would have been the jittery subject I was. Poor Orlando! Remember I wouldn't even eat a Good Humor. I was so lens-shy."—Jacqueline Kennedy, in a letter to Orlando Suero In January 1954, the handsome junior senator from Massachusetts and his glamorous wife moved into a three-story townhouse at 3321 Dent Place in Georgetown. Although they would live here for only five months, the house was their first home after their wedding— the society event of the decade—and a place from which they could begin to prepare for the next step in their lives, one that would take John and Jacqueline Kennedy to the White House. In May of that year, Orlando Suero, a photographer with the Three Lions Picture Agency on his first major assignment, spent five days with the Kennedys. He enjoyed their full cooperation and the intimate access that would later, as Jacqueline became more anxious about her family's privacy, be denied to all but a few. In more than twenty...

From the bestselling author of Kennedy Weddings and Diana and Jackie comes a powerful and moving collection of the condolence letters Jacqueline Kennedy received after the assassination of John F. Kennedy In the weeks and months following the assassination of her husband, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy received more than one million letters. The impact of President Kennedy's death was so immense that people from every station in life wrote to her, sharing their feelings of sympathy, sorrow, and hope. She received letters from political luminaries such as Winston Churchill, Martin Luther King Jr., and Charles De Gaulle. Hollywood stars like Lauren Bacall, Vivian Leigh, and Gene Kelly voiced their sympathy, as did foreign dignitaries including Queen Elizabeth II, the King and Queen of Greece, and the Prince of Monaco.

As We Remember Her

Autor: Carl Sferrazza Anthony

Número de Páginas: 384

An intimate look into the world of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis -- from the people who knew her best In As We Remember Her, Carl Sferrazza Anthony, a historian of first ladies, paints the most personal, revealing portrait of Jackie to date -- one that shows her not in theshadow of her famous husbands or frozen in the light of flashbulbs but as she viewed herself over the years and as she was known by those closest to her. To understand Jackie on her own terms, Anthony conducted exhaustive interviews with an impressive collection of Jackie's friends, family members, and colleagues -- many of whom speak here about her publicly for the first time -- and drew upon rarely published but quite revealing autobiographical accounts. Those interviewed include Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator Ted Kennedy, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, Joan Kennedy, Lady Bird Johnson, former senator John Glenn, Pamela Harriman, Kitty Carlisle Hart, Gloria Steinem, Yusha Auchincloss, Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., John Kenneth Galbraith, Robert McNamara, Ted Sorenson, Pierre Salinger, Rose Styron, former senator Claiborne Pell, and George Plimpton. And from previously sealed oral histories housed in the Kennedy Library, we ...
