Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was one of the most iconic and influential women of the 20th century. She was born Jacqueline Lee Bouvier on July 28, 1929, in Southampton, New York, to Janet Lee Bouvier and John Vernou Bouvier III. She had two younger sisters, Caroline and Lee. Jackie attended private schools in New York and Connecticut before attending Vassar College. She then transferred to George Washington University, where she graduated with a degree in French literature in 1951.

Jackie began her career as a journalist, working for both the Washington Times-Herald and later for TV Guide magazine. In 1952, she met John F. Kennedy, then a senator from Massachusetts, at a dinner party. The two began dating and were married in 1953. Jackie became First Lady of the United States when Kennedy was elected president in 1960.

As First Lady, Jackie was highly regarded for her style and grace. She also worked to promote the arts and historic preservation. After Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, Jackie married Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis. The couple remained married until Onassis’ death in 1975.

In her later years, Jackie worked as an editor for Doubleday publishing company. She also remained active in philanthropy and public service. Jackie Kennedy Onassis died of cancer on May 19, 1994, at the age of 64.

Quotes

#Quote
1I charge everything to Olympic Airways.
2[on JFK's response to the 'Bay of Pigs' fiasco] He came back to the White House, to his bedroom, and he started to cry, just with me. Just put his head in his hands and sort of wept. It was so sad, because all his first hundred days and all his dreams, and then this awful thing to happen. And he cared so much.
3There are two kinds of women. Those who want power in the world, and those who want power in bed.
4They will never drag me out like an old widow like they did Mrs. Wilson when President Wilson [Woodrow Wilson] died. I will never be used that way.
5Our dreams and goals are never completely realized. They are always there before our eyes, but always just slightly out of reach. And so as we strive to fulfill our vision, we must make the most out of every living moment.
6What is my proudest accomplishment? I went through some pretty difficult times, and I kept my sanity.
7If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you do well matters very much.
8Whenever I was upset by something in the papers, Jack [President John F. Kennedy] always told me to be more tolerant, like a horse flicking away flies in the summer.
9I want to live my life, not record it.
10The one thing I do not want to be called is First Lady. It sounds like a saddle horse.
11The first time you marry for love, the second for money, and the third for companionship.
12I don't think there are any men who are faithful to their wives.

Facts

#Fact
1Her favorite actor was William Holden but he caused her a lot of disappointment when she found out he was a registered Republican.
2Although her first husband, President John Kennedy Jr. was one of the wealthiest men to occupy the White House, she received only a modest $25,000 bequest, $70,000 in cash and $200,000 per year in income from his family trust fund, which would cease upon her re-marriage. The remainder of his $10-million estate was held in trust for his two children John Kennedy Jr. and Caroline Kennedy. Her marriage to Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis guaranteed her financial freedom--he gave her $3 million at their marriage and established $1-million trust funds for John and Caroline. When he died, she negotiated a $26-million settlement from Christina Onassis, and with help from her companion, Maurice Templesman, her wealth was in excess of $200 million by the time of her death in 1994.
3Frequented the Paris Salon of Yves Saint-Laurent, along with her sister, Princess Lee Radziwill.
4Won the "Vogue" magazine contest in 1951 by making the best definition of Sergei Diaghilev as "unique alchemist in history of arts."
5Niece of Edith Bouvier Beale, and cousin of Edith 'Little Edie' Bouvier Beale of Grey Gardens (1975) and Grey Gardens (2009) fame.
6On her way back to Washington from Dallas after her husband's murder Lady Bird Johnson advised her to clean up and change her outfit so that she would be presentable for the television cameras. Mrs. Kennedy, mindful of the impact of the cameras, refused because she wanted the public to see her in the outfit that was still stained with her husband's blood. Being urged to change her mind by those around her she replied, "Let them see what they have done".
7Was named Debutante of the Year 1947-1948.
8Had the same stepfather as writer Gore Vidal.
9Older sister of Lee Radziwill.
10She never spoke publicly about her husband's murder.
11Was one of the 100 most important woman of the 20th century as selected by Ladies Home Journal.
12Sister-in-law of Jean Kennedy Smith, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, Ted Kennedy. One-time sister-in-law of Peter Lawford and Joan Kennedy.

14Daughter-in-law of Joseph P. Kennedy and Rose Kennedy.

16Her father had French, English, German, Scottish, and remote Dutch, ancestry, and her mother was of Irish descent.
17Could speak Italian, French, and Spanish.
18During their stormy relationship, Aristotle Onassis unaffectionately referred to Jackie as "supertanker." This was because he thought her tastes cost him as much as a supertanker ship.
19Won an Emmy award for her 1962 televised tour of the White House.
20Mother of Arabella Kennedy, Caroline Kennedy, John Kennedy Jr., and Patrick Bouvier Kennedy. Arabella Kennedy died at birth in 1956.
