Product Description

" She won universal admiration for her dignity and control in the hours and days following her husband's assassination. She sought privacy, but was destined to live her life in the full glare of the media spotlight.Jackie Bouvier Kennedy Onassis immortalized herself during four terrible days in November, 1963. As First Lady, she had won the hearts of the American people with her beauty, style, taste, and glamour. As a widow, she became the object of their fascination. BIOGRAPHY follows her life from the terrible day in Dallas until her own death in 1994. See how her marriage to Aristotle Onassis surprised the nation but failed to bring her satisfaction, and how she finally found peace of mind after his death, working as an editor. Rare footage captures private moments with her children, the focus of her life she once said ""if you bungle raising your kids nothing much else matters in life"". BIOGRAPHY presents the story of a woman who, as Ted Kennedy said at her eulogy, ""was too young to be a widow in 1963 and too young to die in 1994."""

Jackie the woman
Let me star by saying I love Jackie Kennedy. Not because she did anything really special or great, but because she looked so good doing any task. She worked for a newspaper in her early days and for a publishing house in her later days and raised two kids in between that. Her fashion sense was amazing and her gift for gab was very useful. If you agree with these facts then you will enjoy the lastest documntary about Jackie Kennedy Onassis. When I bought yet another documtary about Jackie Kennedy I thought it would be the same old information. But this one was a bit differnt. Not in the sense that it told new information, but in the sense that it made Jackie seem a bit more like a real person. She had her faults like anyone and this documentary shows a few of her flaws. She was stunning woman and very graceful. But she was human. She made mistakes like anyone else. I liked the fact that the documentary points out she wasn't perfect. Jackie was an amazing woman with the strenght and wisdom of someone twice her age. She was a good mother, and a loving wife. But Jackie was more or less famous for being famous and finally someone at least one documentary has hinted to that fact. For that reason alone I recommend it.
