Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Jackie, is perhaps the most famous First Lady in history. Young, beautiful and sophisticated, Jackie lived an enviable life of glamour and status as the wife of President John F. Kennedy until his assassination on 22 November 1963.

Widowed, Jackie became the focus of the nation’s grief and suffered from bouts of depression. She remarried in 1968 to Aristotle Onassis, a Greek shipping magnate: this decision was met with backlash from the American press and public who saw Jackie’s second marriage as a betrayal of her relationship with the fallen president.
