Primera Dama de Estados Unidos
1961 – 1963

Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis (28 de julio de 1929 — 19 de mayo de 1994) fue la esposa del presidente John F. Kennedy de 1953 a 1963 y era conocida como Jacqueline Kennedy o Jackie Kennedy. Fue la Primera Dama de los Estados Unidos de 1961 con 32 años y hasta el asesinato de su esposo en 1963, cuando ella tenía 34 años.

A partir de 1968 y hasta la muerte de él, en 1975, estuvo casada con el armador griego Aristóteles Onassis y fue conocida como Jacqueline Onassis, Jackie Onassis o más informal como Jackie O.

Lo que me parece curioso es esta noticia:Estaba enamorada de Bobby

The New York Post runs some tidbits today from the new book Bobby and Jackie: A Love Story, which purportedly reveals some steamy, sad secrets of a long-hidden affair between Jackie Kennedy and her brother-in-law, Robert Kennedy.

Some factoids from the book, which includes witness accounts from Jack Newfield, Gore Vidal, and Truman Capote:

Six months after JFK’s death, during a May 1964 dinner cruise on the presidential yacht the USS Sequoia, Bobby and Jackie “exchanged poignant glances” before disappearing below deck, leaving Ethel upstairs. “When they returned, they looked as chummy and relaxed as a pair of Cheshire cats,”

At the Kennedys‘ Palm Beach estate during Christmas 1964, socialite Mary Harrington saw Jackie sunbathing topless, with Bobby kneeling at her side. “As they began to kiss, he placed one hand on her breast and the other inside of her bikini bottom,” Harrington recalled.

According to Gore Vidal, “The one person Jackie ever loved . . . was Robert Kennedy.”

Shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis — RFK’s rival for Jackie’s attention — once threatened to “bring down” Bobby by going public with details of the affair. “I could bury that sucker,” Onassis said, “although I’d lose Jackie in the process.”

On June 4, minutes after winning the California primary, Bobby was fatally shot by Sirhan Sirhan at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.

Jackie flew to his bedside — and Ethel allowed her time alone with the dying RFK, according to the book.

Bobby was brain-dead, but a distraught Ethel refused to pull the plug, and brother Ted Kennedy was in no shape to make the call, Heymann writes.

At 1:20 a.m. June 6, 1968, Jackie Kennedy ordered the respirator shut down and signed the consent form, the book reveals.

So, yeah, there you have it. The only sad, melancholy thing to ever happen to the moneyed, mossy Kennedy clan.
