Jackie Kennedy Born: Future First Lady and Style Icon
She sat beside her husband when the first shot hit. She never spoke publicly about what happened in that car on November 22, 1963. Jacqueline Kennedy was born in Southampton, New York in 1929, educated at Vassar and the Sorbonne, and transformed the White House into a place where artists and intellectuals were actually invited. After Dallas she wore the pink suit for the rest of the day — 'Let them see what they did,' she reportedly said. She outlived two husbands, raised two children away from the spotlight, and built a second career as a book editor at Doubleday. She died in 1994 at 64.
