I am grateful to be able to write that around 1980 when I was assistant banquet manager in a famous restaurant in the theater I got to ask Jackie Kennedy if I could pour her some wine. I had heard that she wouldn't speak to people who didn't have the right to speak to her as she wanted to live her life in Manhattan as a private individual. But I was staff so I knew I could approach her. She was beyond beautiful; there was something about her that was ethereal, regal and almost other worldly -- I was happy for all her happinesses and sad for all her sadness -- such an incredible woman!
Such a wonderful story, yet you mentioned nothing of her response to you. I suppose that's a memory you now wish to keep private . . . just one brief moment in time shared between you and the iconic Ms. Jackie Onassis.🍷🍾
@@AlmondJoie Jackie's response to me was polite but minimal and that's why I didn't elaborate on it. I was "staff" to most of these elegant famous people (in fine dining in Manhattan I met many famous people, Jackie just being one of them.)
I remember all of that history and events of Jack and Jackies life. I still remember the day Jack was shot and where I was. One never forgets things like that. They are imbedded in your member forever. Thanks for the memories.
What you said is all facts. Had these women left to their own devices, there wouldn't have been any strife between them that they couldn't overcome. Unfortunately, the media is vicious.
Jacqueline much more famous than Lee. She stole Ari Onassis from her Sister. Jacqueline had a monstrous ego and spent Millions of Onassis Money! She got a 20 Million Settlement from Christina Onassis! A very spoiled woman! Teddy Kennedy and NYC Attorneys worked the Settlement ( hired by Jacqueline)!
Jackie was a jewel whose background was perfect for being First Lady. I was a child of 9 when the tragic events of Dallas occurred and I'll never forget the graceful and dignified way she acted during the whole funeral. She literally led us in our grief and was only 33 when it occurred. It was a deep wound that took a long time to heal. I followed her over the years and was truly sad at her early and untimely death. She had every right to be buried next to John at Arlington and indeed belonged there. She was a great figure in American history besides her husband Jack. May they both RIP.
I was close to turning 9 when J.F.K. was assassinated. My parents were pleased as were many other adults at that time. Why is this truth not discussed? I was not happy about it but many adults were; mostly Republicans I suppose and some other people in the world.
I was 9, as well. In the 4th grade. I remember my teacher crying. I had never heard the word “assassinated” before. I had no idea what it meant until one of the other kids in my class told me. I didn’t think such a thing was possible. The world was never the same after that horrific afternoon. Sixty years ago today. 💔
@@lashonearl6548 I might add she didn't have any family money of her own like the Kennedy's did, she dressed fashionably on taxpayers money. That's why she married Onassis for his money and security. She was a wannabe aristocrat, just because you barely speak French doesn't mean you're Paresian French.
I love how this documentary tells Lee’s story also and her many attempts at escaping her sister’s shadow. And nothing sums up Lee's place in the world like the title of this documentary. Jackie: A Tale of Two Sisters. Poor Lee. I hope she gets her flowers from somebody someday before she leaves us.
My brother's friend saw her in-person when he was a student at Harvard years ago when she was visiting Caroline. He described her as "arresting." I like how the designer Valentino described her. He said "she was not a classic beauty, but she was extremely striking. Meeting her was like touching the sky with your finger."
Yeah, but MLK was a preacher man. The FBI files on him will cause a commotion when they're finally released. He treated women like dogs , just like the Kennedy men did. Some say worse.
She was before my time, but so interesting to hear about, via documentaries & 📚... she was clearly an intelligent women, & savvy in regards to "marrying 💰" which helped her to maintain a certain lifestyle, that is obvious. 🤔
Jackie was brought up to be a social climber & gold digger since her own family had fallen on hard times. Lee was terribly jealous of her older sister. Then Jackie stole Lee’s sugar daddy… Onassis. This was a family bent on making the best of their names. Money was everything
That's the culture of that era. Using 21st century ideology to judge women who were brought up almost 100 years ago doesn't sound wse, actually quite narrow minded. Society has evolved since, so have women.
@@sherry8339 its not era -- it is still happening right this moment. so dont blame on it being a different era. what remains constant is rich ppl have more to lose and therefore will do anything to protect and maintain their status
Jacqueline, Kennedy, and Princess Diana were the most photographed women in history. These two women brought the world to stand still. I was 12 years old when she became First Lady and she has always been my role model to this day. 62 years later. Mrs. Kennedy’s refinement and cultural awareness, inspired me to grow up to be a beautiful young lady.
Her style is gorgeous because of the 60's era. If she lived in 80's she would wear horrible makeup, shoulder padded oversized jackets and frizzy hair. Fashion style of the 60's is very flattering to women.
In the early 80s when William was very young she was pictured wearing dresses with massive collars. Sarah Ferguson was pictured in a puff ball skirt.@@meeeka
This woman is a cultural icon and highly influential woman in American history that people need to let rest. Her wide set eyes were a genetic condition and people can’t constantly bash her now for not being beautiful.
@@kdtennis1 what's your point? Bc that's obvious. Lol. My praise is for the documentary itself. And the insight it gave me. Never did I compliment Jackie as a person. Especially bc I agree with what you DO say. 🤦
Thank you for putting this Story of Jackie & Lee together. I remember Jackie as a beautiful young lady & I to was disappointed that she chose to remarry Mr Onassis.
I was in 5th grade when Kennedy was assisinated. I always considered her my role model even though a kid doesn't really understand that. It is a crying shame that the kids nowadays do not have good role models from which to learn. Thank goodness Lee was such a good sister, especially during the trying times. Paparazzi should be dearmed with all public figures carrying mace so if those bas.tards get too close, aim for their face. Another example is Princess Diana and the horror she faced. Beautiful documentary, thank you.
Jackie a "good role model"- what a joke! Can you point to one contribution she made to make your life better?! You're certainly welcomed to recommend Michelle Obama/Hillary/Katie as additional phoney role models for future inane leftists who seriously believe that the higher up a person's social status is, the more admirable he/she is... I bet you trust those characters more than you trust your own neighbors for the simple reason that you know nothing about them! Here is a clue for you to use on your possible, but not probable growing up journey: those "Paparazzi" that you find so objectionable, are actually the ones who feed you the fairy tales you subscribe to regarding your "role model" celebrities (really moronic/socially ambitious materialists in the best case scenario, or degenerate/criminal in the worst), whose pictures accompany some made up story by the bribed lying media you consume mindlessly.... Happy grazing & of course boostering, courtesy of those who lose sleep over your wellbeing....hahaha!
I was also in fifth grade! My family had taken me and my siblings to San Francisco for fun. But, JFK was assassinated. Every restaurant we went into had the television on. Everyone was in shock.
Wholesome and vulnerable , just enough within these pictures. Would be a dream having black and white film or documentary done ! Isn't much fun living like a Kennedy and not looking the part.
Jackie wanted to be more European, notibly French than American. I have dual citizenship France and Canadian. It was Jack Kennedy I was more interested in. As American presidential wives Elenor Rosservet that captured my attention later on. She said she 2as her husband's legs. I have a great deal of respect fot her. Jackie was not French she spoke a bit of French on her trip with President Kennedy, but as a Canadian and very young & returned to France she was thought of by the French people although liked as still American. She brought some style to the Whitehouse and not much more. However, she suffered and did honor to her husband at his funeral. But as first lady did nothing for all Americans, just those at the top of the ladder. 44:20
Shame on the photographer who constantly stalked her. Targeting a grieving mother trying to raise young children being constantly harassed and he seems so proud of himself.
Sex addictions in powerful men have absolutely nothing to do with the wife’s beauty, kindness, gifts or lack of same. They find a place to put it. People are objects.
Even on Wikipedia which too many people depend on as reality, there is no mention of the FACT that Anthony Stanislaw Albert Radziwill worked in Chase bank's executive offices in Manhattan around 1980. I know he did! My friend's wife trained him! I don't have the exact year but once his training was done and his identity was revealed to a Victoria Wroblewski at that time, I've never read anything about Anthony and Chase bank. I knew Victoria very well. I still have conversations with her husband quite often. Victoria or "Vickie" as her friends call her is married and she no longer carries the name of "Wroblewski". There are so many important omissions about people that are significant. The most important thing for me is Vickie's descriptions of him at the time that he was a nice, very stylishly dressed gentlemen and well liked.
@@annedonker4795God isn’t shallow like humans, that is the point the commenter was making. People (humans) love Jackie because of her style, the fact she was a high status and rich man’s wife, that she herself came from those things and had good breeding. ALL those things I just mentioned why people love Jackie for ARE shallow things.
She did what she had to do I love love the Kennedy family and Camelot she was such a strong woman who went thru hell dt judge her I admire her smart woman protected her children final and security
Eleanor Roosevelt did much, much more for this country than Jackie ever dreamed of attempting. She is not our favorite First Lady. Eleanor was First Lady from 1933-1945, 12 years championing women’s rights and the war effort. Jackie for 2 years, 10 months. Great at redecorating.
In my view, Caroline Lee Bouvier, later Canfield, Radziwiłł, Ross is most certainly NOT American royalty. She was the sister of a beloved, gracious former American First Lady, period.
40:17 The narrator introduces Maurice Tempelsman, the guy standing beside Jackie in the photo is not Maurice Tempelsman. Somebody was editing in their sleep.
I have always thought of Martha Washington and Dolley Madison as the favorite first ladies. and Abigail Adams! so, I would probably place Jackie in the top 15 because of what she did for the White House - and her personal style - but not the favorite.
She’s my favorite ,but she had the humility to actually agree w what you said .You always claimed she did nothing to achieve such fame ,she hated the attention
No I don't care either you are just delusional?Leopards take their chances in the wild that's just how it is and would kill you in a nano second if you were in the way.@@austindarrenor
If you want to know, the real Jackie read the book by J. Randy Taraborrelli just out. Quotes from many people who knew her. She was no angel and could be very mean to people including her sister. Her mother was the same. Her motto marry for money.
So what? She's not the first,not the last. Give her credit where credit is due. No one is perfect, everyone puts on a front, people act different in private more often than not. She did well with the hand she was dealt with.
But you see, it had nothing to do with looks, jack married Jackie because his father told him to. Jackie spoke several languages, graduated from Radcliffe and had a job before the Kennedys. Her father Black Jack Bouvier told her how important it is to be independent.
She was overrated & money oriented. There was nothing „stylish“ in the way she ( with the assistance of Edward Kennedy) treated Aristotle‘s beloved daughter Tina after Ari died. It was Tina who displayed style when she ordered her lawyers to: „ Pay that woman whatever she wants and get her out of my life“ Jackie Kennedy represented most people‘s weakness of adoring rich & famous people whom they wish they could be.
The daughter who gave Jacqueline, the $20 Million was Christina Onassis. Jacqueline and Teddy Kennedy had several top NYC Attorneys fight Christina over that money. Jacqueline got the big settlement because Ari Onassis was deathly ill, and died. Christina despised Jacqueline ( the money hungry Former US First Lady/ with expensive tastes) and paid her the $20 Million to be rid of her. Many books have documented these facts! Jacqueline was not nice and would fuc___ up someone over money. Money had always meant everything to her/Facts!
Jacqueline Kennedy was a beautiful First Lady. Never judge someone when you have not walked in their shoes. WWG1WGA. God Bless the Kennedy Family. ❤️ 💫🙏
she became controversial when she married- onasis - americans wanted her to remain a wife/widow of kenedy-plus their is a thing when they said robert kennnedy did not approve of onasis... its also thought that kennedy was killed by mafia boss onasis and robert was also killed by him.
She escapes American darkest age. She is the only who knew who killed JFK. And off course the shooter(s). No body else. She was a very very strong woman, elegant, very smart and so beautiful. RIP
@@XstonedmonkeyzX Because of Jackie Kennedy wearing a leopard skin coat 250K leopards were killed to keep up with the demand. What the heck is the connection to your supposed logic?
Vern & Lee here so sorry for the loss of your father in law....he sounded like a treasure and I hope fond memories of your times together flood your minds so sorry for Ben we love your chanel and thank you for your videos we e nj9y them so much and 7m hoping to harvest my lavendar stems for flavoring my sugar like I saw c on your chanel. I often try to incorporate your ideas 8nto my home with my southern bent towards it. Including flying the grand union in honor of rev war family soldiers. Our hearts see end love and prayers on your loss I believe a e are getting close that a similar situation with my father in law hes older and dealing with many health issues. Guess its the age if things for our generation. Still hard to accept even when 8t is expected. Love to all.
@@variousJnames Right?! With a face like Ari's, you know he had to have been very wealthy for Jackie to have married him and thereby taken Lee's sloppy seconds. After all when it was all over, Jackie walked away with a cool $22 million, allegedly. She and her children were set for life.
They credited that play to Tennessee Williams?! LOL Little glitch in the research department? I had the sound down and so learned this from your comment...

Jacqueline married Ari Onassis for his money in 1968!
Jackie was elegant and majestic. She was the class of a nation during our darkest time. God bless her.
How she handled such a horrific tragedy with calmness and dignity. She had to have suffered from PTSD.
Definitely PTSD.
PTSD? oh sure. her pink dress meant something that day.

Just like WTC 2001 is for me 😢
Me too. Remember I cried 😢 still do
I was 8 years old in sydney we heard the news on radio 🇦🇺
The First Lady to become a fashion icon, talented and admired by many. Knew how to cope with dignity.

JFK had a first wife, who his paid off for a divorce and silence, so he could marry Jackie. An arranged marriage and the fact he was a pig.

Eleanor Roosevelt did much, much more for this country than Jackie ever dreamed of attempting. She is not our favorite First Lady. Eleanor was First Lady from 1933-1945, 12 years championing women’s rights and the war effort. Jackie for 2 years, 10 months. Great at redecorating.

I have always thought of Martha Washington and Dolley Madison as the favorite first ladies. and Abigail Adams! so, I would probably place Jackie in the top 15 because of what she did for the White House - and her personal style - but not the favorite.
She’s my favorite ,but she had the humility to actually agree w what you said .You always claimed she did nothing to achieve such fame ,she hated the attention
Sorry ,,,I meant she always claimed
You don't like Mrs Obama????
What's really a shame is how many leopards and other big cats had to die because Jackie Kennedy had to have a leopard skin coat. She set the fashion.
No I don't care either you are just delusional?Leopards take their chances in the wild that's just how it is and would kill you in a nano second if you were in the way.@@austindarrenor
Lee is a beautiful name.
Jackie was having an AFFAIR with Greek tycoon Aristotle Onassis while still married to JFK. Give me a fu….. break.
I love you Jackie!
A Icon
Some would say a fortune chaser and high class call girl!

Truly most beautiful FLOTUS❤❤❤
Most beautiful inside and outside was President Carter's wife.
If you want to know, the real Jackie read the book by J. Randy Taraborrelli just out. Quotes from many people who knew her. She was no angel and could be very mean to people including her sister. Her mother was the same. Her motto marry for money.
Yeah, I read that in a book years ago called; A woman named Jackie
So what? She's not the first,not the last. Give her credit where credit is due. No one is perfect, everyone puts on a front, people act different in private more often than not. She did well with the hand she was dealt with.
Hey she did better than her sister who had repeated infidelities
Better than that is the book: The Dark Side of Camelot.
Ron STALKED her. I'm happy we have these images, but at what cost to her and her family. Everything in moderation.
Beautiful work 😢❤
Nothing against her but my favorite first lady is Rosalyn Carter and I’m sad she had passed. 😢
Once is e enough for me ❤
Examplary of elegance
Lee was much prettier.
But you see, it had nothing to do with looks, jack married Jackie because his father told him to. Jackie spoke several languages, graduated from Radcliffe and had a job before the Kennedys. Her father Black Jack Bouvier told her how important it is to be independent.
She was overrated & money oriented.
There was nothing „stylish“ in the way she ( with the assistance of Edward Kennedy) treated Aristotle‘s beloved daughter Tina after Ari died.
It was Tina who displayed style when she ordered her lawyers to: „ Pay that woman whatever she wants and get her out of my life“
Jackie Kennedy represented most people‘s weakness of adoring rich & famous people whom they wish they could be.
The daughter who gave Jacqueline, the $20 Million was Christina Onassis. Jacqueline and Teddy Kennedy had several top NYC Attorneys fight Christina over that money. Jacqueline got the big settlement because Ari Onassis was deathly ill, and died.
Christina despised Jacqueline ( the money hungry Former US First Lady/ with expensive tastes) and paid her the $20 Million to be rid of her. Many books have documented these facts!
Jacqueline was not nice and would fuc___ up someone over money. Money had always meant everything to her/Facts!
It's a big club and you're not in it....
George Carlin I believe..😂😂😂
Jackie and Diana - role models!
Jacqueline Kennedy was a beautiful First Lady. Never judge someone when you have not walked in their shoes. WWG1WGA. God Bless the Kennedy Family. ❤️ 💫🙏
she became controversial when she married- onasis - americans wanted her to remain a wife/widow of kenedy-plus their is a thing when they said robert kennnedy did not approve of onasis... its also thought that kennedy was killed by mafia boss onasis and robert was also killed by him.
I just love love love my princess Diana❤️❤️❤️
What happened to poised, elegant women like Jackie?
With the cigarette hanging out there mouths? Lol
Woman woke up and stopped putting up with their husband's cheating on them. She was foolish
They are still here, but now are Republicans 😂
@@kerryprzytula7Hollary Clinton did put up with Billie‘s ways tho
@@georgiabelle5176you mean like the ones who ran around with plastic phalluses strapped to their forehead during the election? Lmao. Yea right
She escapes American darkest age. She is the only who knew who killed JFK. And off course the shooter(s). No body else. She was a very very strong woman, elegant, very smart and so beautiful. RIP
That photographer must have really been a thorn in her side. Damn dude leave her alone!
Does anyone else realize that Lee had THREE Church annulments? Can anyone tell me how she pulled that off? Or did she throw around a lot of money?
Yes and Ted of all people was allowed a Catholic burial. It's the money and fame but that doesn't count at all on the other side.
She said right after the assassination... "Oh jack, what have THEY done". Yeah, she was a smart lady.
Summary: Jackie knew how to dress. How deep..
What's really a shame is how many leopards and other big cats had to die because Jackie Kennedy had to have a leopard skin coat. She set the fashion.
and marry into wealth. Very very deep. ;)
@@austindarrenorby that logic, no company should ever make anything, until a person comes in to buy it. Then its made on site... 🤦
@@XstonedmonkeyzX Because of Jackie Kennedy wearing a leopard skin coat 250K leopards were killed to keep up with the demand. What the heck is the connection to your supposed logic?
Pamela Keough , JFK’s head was not “blown off”. For God’s sake, get it right. The final shot hit him in the head.
Reminds me of Queen Elizabeth and her sister.
The Perfect wife?
The Perfect life?
Love comes third in High Society.
No thank you.
Vern & Lee here so sorry for the loss of your father in law....he sounded like a treasure and I hope fond memories of your times together flood your minds so sorry for Ben we love your chanel and thank you for your videos we e nj9y them so much and 7m hoping to harvest my lavendar stems for flavoring my sugar like I saw c on your chanel. I often try to incorporate your ideas 8nto my home with my southern bent towards it. Including flying the grand union in honor of rev war family soldiers. Our hearts see end love and prayers on your loss I believe a e are getting close that a similar situation with my father in law hes older and dealing with many health issues. Guess its the age if things for our generation. Still hard to accept even when 8t is expected. Love to all.
This story! Brought tears! 2 my eyes!😢
Jackie Kennedy Onassis...Declan's beloved granny. I wish that I could have met her.
Her second marriage was not for money..she had money, she wanted protection for her children, Onasis provided the best of protection for her children
😂Where have you been? Of course it was also for his money!
@@variousJnames Right?! With a face like Ari's, you know he had to have been very wealthy for Jackie to have married him and thereby taken Lee's sloppy seconds. After all when it was all over, Jackie walked away with a cool $22 million, allegedly. She and her children were set for life.
I think he represented the father figure she lacked when her parents divorced; protective, stable, secure.
@@variousJnamesIt was both.
It goes to the game of BOB. Brains beats Brawn, Owner beats Brains.
Thinking of Princess Diana ❤
Bradkey Univ in peoria Il,...what do theyknow?
Love the British flair given to this video to make sure you know them and the Kennedys at royal!
Since when is “The Philadelphia Story” a play by Tennessee Williams?! It’s by Philip Barry!
They credited that play to Tennessee Williams?!
LOL
Little glitch in the research department?
I had the sound down and so learned this from your comment...
