That was beautiful! Ladybird Johnson was such an intelligent, classy First Lady. I was enthralled listening to her accent. She could have easily been an actress, newscaster or public speaker. I’m glad that this country was able to enjoy her talents and contributions.
She spoke with a proper high class southern accent. Sadly this accent is fading so fast, almost nobody speaks with it any longer. Only a few in our state in Charleston, South Carolina sound like this.
That's a shame because the accent is obviously , so different and so strange, but cute, for MidAtlantic folks, well to a Philadelphian,it sounds like a deep in the country , rural, speaking very slowly, old fashioned accent, but nice and very interesting and the Johnson's were a beautiful, in that they were a goodhearted family. Lady bird Johnson was so special and so classy , well all of the First Ladies are and that classiness would not include certain ahem ..middle age, foreign gold diggers, that may be nice , except for the part, where they take advantage of disrespectful, mentally ill 70 year old billionaires,for their money and fame, who are more suitable for a White Jacket, than a White House.
I am struck how frail and used up President Johnson looks at the end while he speaks. I remember how strong and in control he seemed during his time in office. He was a good president, not a perfect one, but the Country was bad to him.
mrs. Johnson arrived way ahead of our time. Mrs. Johnson in today's election cycle would have been the right candidate for the presidential office. never undermind her character. she was tough, shrewd, and compassionate.
LBJ had many rough edges, but he really was a great president. People only remember him poorly because of Vietnam, but really he inherited that war from JFK and he would have much rather have spent his time on his social agenda called "The Great Society." Things we take for granted today such as Medicare and Medicaid were part and parcel of LBJ's legacy. And Lady Bird Johnson was all class.
My favorite part of this is the lunch scene. Lynda Bird calling her father "Sir," the French service of taking hamburgers from a plate with serving forks, and the nervous sweat on LBJ's forehead. Eating rarely causes such an outbreak...it must have been the weight of the office on his mind, and the disaster of Vietnam.
the office obviously destroyed him; he seems very depressed, both at lunch with the family and in his farewell remarks where he talks about his disaapointments.
It must be hard to succeed the most iconic first Lady ever and in the whole world ! I watched the americans watching and visiting the White House but OMG you were so slim.... What happened to you ? You were so beautiful and classy in the 60's.....
Mrs Lady Bird predecessor did not welcome her with grace expected from "the most iconic first Lady". Jackie was rather standoffish and made jokes about her look . Lady Bird left a big legacy, we did not get much from the "iconic one"/ info from many memoirs about White House/.
My favorite First Lady. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video.
She always struck me as someone I would have loved to hear tell a story. Thank you for sharing.
There is a video where she is reading her diary and accounting of the Kennedy assignation time.
@@nancyericson4263 where?
This is such a great window into a previous time... thanks to the LBJ Library for making it available on UA-cam.

Mrs. Johnson was a very impressive lady. Well spoken and classy.
I always loved Lady Bird. She is the first First Lady I remember. She was a class act all the way!
Lady Bird represented Texas very well.
Texas Lady Bird’d nice speech accent tones , no wonder LBJ got stuck as her Sweet honeywell
What a soothing speaking voice.
Southern charm. Smart gracious woman. Jackie was catty to her.
Lucy and Lynda were both gorgeous.
Ladybird wasn't bad either.
i love her accent. One of the most intelligent first ladies in history
She's very graceful and ladylike.
Presidents wires wives , Lady Bird looked so cool calm what a dedicated wife
13:00….The President listening to Lynda talk about how her husband could be blown up in Vietnam…..
Such a beautiful accent
12:31 the man who serves LBJ is Eugene Allen wich movie "The butler" shows his biography. He served 8 presidents from Eisenhower to Reagan
Is he the older guy on the rt? Thanks for this identification! Loved that movie!
Lady Bird Johnson is a class act!
Yes she really was. She was a total class act! God bless beautiful Lady Bird
She was beautiful and the epitome of southern charm/class. A very rememberable First Lady.
I am so glad the LBJ Library has posted these videos. History will show how much LBJ did for us.
Lady bird really gave a lot of warm....and shows that even the most die hard worker (LBJ) falls into the spell of Grandchildren....
Very neat!
I like how they call the daughters by their full names 'Lucy Baines', 'Lynda Bird'. Too charming.
Love listening to her

Beautiful country family.
Love her accents
Lady Bird For President!

Pres Johnson did looked really stressed and preoccupied. At least, his grandson provided him some respite from his stress.
the office obviously destroyed him; he seems very depressed, both at lunch with the family and in his farewell remarks where he talks about his disaapointments.
He who ?
Shamaneika Johnson The President, Lyndon Baines Johnson
I never heard such looooooong vowels spoken anywhere in the English language…….

always closely related.
Wow. The young woman at 12:57 is very pretty.
burgers!
Where were the French fries?!
He was a strange man.even cold to his family.
It was an odd lunch. Something must have been on his mind. Hopefully not all meals were like that.
Why was she called lady bird
when she was born, a nurse said about her, “[s]he’s as purty as a ladybird”. the nickname stuck after that.
Her full name: claudia alta taylor lady bird
1902
She was very spooky and acted like a Stedford Wife like a damn robot . 🤖
It was a different time. Most who knew her said she was very warm and genuine.
...Learn how to spell *Stepford and then you can call someone out.
