So did I. I saw a picture of this alleged baby Maria had, by Onassis, an unfortunate abortion. But Maria had a photographer take a picture of she & the baby. That baby was ABSOLUTELY the child of Onassis. That picture was the mirror image of Onassis, who was quite attractive in his younger years. Funny how Life turns out. Had Onassis not made Maria have an abortion, that son would have lived, AFTER Onassis's First son died in that plane crash.. I do not remember the name of the book nor the author, but I HOPE to find it. Isn't it funny, how Life turns out, in the end ??

These people aren’t elites. They’re black and Irish, they had some money so they seem ok through a lense of PR built by Jackie. They married Irish mobsters (Kennedys) a bastard son, a fake prince whose country was part of the USSR. Onassis was shady af. Getting your picture in magazines is not a marker of nice family.

@@user-fl3im1qy2o Lucky. I divorced my ex, however his money and his families money and control and my not having any, meant that he and his second controlling wife have kept a firm foot in the middle of everything. The destruction and betrayal on their parts has actually mean that the closeness we once had just isn't Which is very hard on me in my older age. I realize that much of the time, it takes all of my children's energy just to "do"" their own lives battling with the pain in their own minds and hearts from it. I just miss our closeness, they mean everything to me, and I was always willing to do anything I could for them. I think that they might feel sad after I am gone because we did not have more time and more communication with one another. I miss my own mother and I never stopped communicating with her... My children didn't grow up with a dad or another husband of mine that really did love and respect me. They DID see me end things when it turned out that they would not behave the right way. So, at least they have that from me.
Despite their rivalry, Jackie did financially support Lee’s kids education and living cost when the will showed the Prince was nearly broke. She didn’t leave Lee anything in her will but she did leave Lee’s kids an a generous $1 million.
After 3 divorces Lee found herself with very little money. Jackie DID discreetly provide considerable financial support in Lee's later years. I do believe the sisters did love each other but their parents deliberately pitted them apart as rivals from early childhood. Lee was quite beautiful but WHAT did she really accomplish? She had an abysmal acting debut appearing in a play that closed immediately. She briefly was an interior decorator but it was short lived because she bristled at being told by clients what to do - she was very spoiled her entire life and used to giving orders to others. She was a dazzling socialite among the highest circles but not really any significant accomplishments in her life - 3 failed marriages. I just finished watching the Hulu series Capote and the Swans. Calista Flockhart gives a phenomenal performance as Lee Radzwill - she does not seem to be an appealing personality, very bitchy, spiteful, and social climbing. I thought she was physically more attractive than her sister BUT it was Jacqueline Kennedy who made the stratosphere as First Lady and later when she married Aristotle Onassis.
Two remarkable women. Lee was very pretty but having been through her parents divorce at a young age left her forever looking for approval from father figures. Her sister was her fathers favourite too which must have been hard on her. Divorce is hard on children no matter what age. 😊
@@mirianscott7669 Yes, I agree. I am far from perfect myself, but it really shows, especially when she aged. I try to look for the trait in JFK Jr but he is very good looking.
Having the elastic on your underwear give up isn't exactly a life-altering event. In fact my grandma, born in 1900, had words of advice ready for the droop... "Step out of them gracefully, kneel, pick them up and put them in your purse." It actually happened to me once and I've always wondered if picking them up with the toe of my high-heeled shoe, as I did, was sufficient adherence to Gramma's words.
Funny you should say that. My father's parents met that way. They were at a dance and my grandmother lost her knickers in the middle of the dance floor and my grandfather picked it up for her. The rest is history.
In 1994, the same year that Jackie died of cancer, Lee’s son Anthony was diagnosed with sarcoma. He died five years later, just three weeks after his cousin and best friend JFK Jr. crashed his plane off Martha’s Vineyard.
@@ann5765 It’s a tragedy not only that JFK Jr. lacked the instrument rating to fly in haze, but also that he turned down the co-pilot who’d offered to accompany him on that flight. IMHO he jammed too many things into his weekend, forcing the late departure that ultimately may have killed him. JFK Jr. was believed to be taking pain medication for his broken ankle. A constellation of bad decisions brought down that plane.
@@ann5765totally agree. It was a second or third generation thing. He apparently was not the sharpest knife in the shed. Intelligence??? His sister is now the US Ambassador in our country Australia. We were thrilled when this appointment was announced. She is an amazing Lady. 🇦🇺🇺🇸
People have this idea that Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was this tragic, good-hearted woman fate decided to continually crap on . . . but that couldn't be further from the truth. She was ruthless, haughty, money-hungry, and cold to anyone who got in her way or betrayed her. Deep down inside I think she did love Lee--after all, she named her daughter "Caroline" after her--but there was resentment and jealousy that came out in the cruellest of ways that her destroying Lee's spirit and good fortune. Anyone who hung around Lee fell in love with her spirit and vivacious nature; anyone who hung around Jackie learned to walk a minefield and tried to distance themselves. Jackie looks like her dad but acts like her mother. Funny enough, Caroline looks like her dad (JFK) and acts like her mother; whereas Lee looks like her mom and acts like her dad, and JFK jr looks like Jackie and acts like his dad. I think Truman Capote summed up the sister rivalry the best: "Lee has more beauty and class and fashion sense in her pinky than Jackie has in her whole body."
My aunt was close to Jackie and totally liked her. But then my aunt was a strong woman who would never be distressed about losing a bossy friend. I think Jackie treated strong people well. BTW, the father left his daughters traumatized in many ways. I know - from family sources - what disturbing presence he was. He also did his best to ruin Jackie's wedding day to JFK.
Well, you are still making it a competition, just like her dad, by needing to put one down to showcase the other, which is cruel, I think the things you are writing is a very simplistic description of a human being, not to mention narrow minded to say one is just bad one is all good.
Wealth makes life easier. Jacqueline Onassis had wonderful homes,$ 20 Million from Ari Onassis. Caroline and John/ RIP were exposed to Fifth Avenue, Martha Vineyard's and top Law Schools!
I hate that we call these people “America Royalty”, we don’t have that here and shouldn’t use poetic license with that either. It makes these people really think they are better than everyone else:
@@kbboyle8826 In which sense? The father, Jack Bouvier was alcoholic and broke at the end of his life. He boasted a noble lineage, but genealogist denied him any noble origin, and the mother was a social climber seaking for wealthy men to support a extravagant lifestyle. They were no royalty at all!
To me the term "royalty," is pretty much a man-made and self-annointed one anyway. I AM related to the British Royal Family by kinshp lines. If you actually DO the true research on the family lines, they all started out with warrior tribes and clans and whoever could trounce, kill, or steal or take the most from the other ones, crowned themselves. REALLY! I think of King David , etc. in the scriptures as the royal lines. Look at what Kind David and King Solomon chose to do when they as mortals became too powerful and up in their own heads with their authority. They are ALL mortals and subject to the weaknesses of their own foilbles and have to repent and make amends for their sins ( if they actually can for acts like murders, only God can do that.)
It always amazes me that people who never knew the subject, or indeed did not even live thru that era, can take their scathing opinions and recite them as facts.
True! But, human beings with a non-biased view, can be very discerning. Jackie was in my era. She was lovely, well bred, and decent. But, she was not smart, and somewhat conceited. Whose perfect? Lee, was obviously keener, and had more innate talents, but Jackie had “destiny”. There was no topping this.
@@hanselpollack4075Oh, contraire! She was highly educated. She spoke and WROTE French fluently. She was educated at Vassar and was an editor. You have to be intelligent to accomplish those things. To speak and write fluently in another language? That’s “smart.” Oh, and renovating the White House by studying history and hunting down period antiques in storage…anyone can do that, right?
@@fairyprincess911Yes, Jackie was bilingual in English and French and also spoke Spanish well. She finished her college education at Georgetown and later worked as a book editor in NYC. Highly intelligent and accomplished woman.
It really depends on the parents, how siblings get along. When parents play favorites, pit one against another intentionally or not, bitterness and jealousy happens. I wish Lee had the courage to separate herself from Jackie and her family and go her own way in mind and space.
While both were attractive, I would never classify them as beautiful. If this unflattering depiction is even a little bit true it paints them in a negative light that highlights their greed, petty jealousies, and vengeful spiteful natures. Oh and promiscuous social climbers. To think that some looked up to these two is misguided to say the least. Yikes!!
Carly Simon wrote "Touched By The Sun", a book about her friendship with Jackie Kennedy Onassis. I have not read the book but reviews say Carly basically thought Jackie was as the title indicated. Carly adored Jackie.
@@evafitzsimmons3407She looks just like her father. Personally, I don’t think she was attractive for the reason you mentioned but none of us get the choose the way we’re born. Well, perhaps nowadays we can alter things that 50 years ago were impossible, but you get my point! 😊
@@donnasearch1 That was my take on it, my Mom said that. I was a little girl in second grade when JFK was murdered. It was horrible, we were sent home from school early.
@tapsars7911 **** Actually, there were ONLY two women I respected & admired more than ANYONE, EXCEPT the women in my OWN family, (Mother, Maternal Aunt & Maternal Grandmother) That was HRMQEII & JACKIE. That is UNTIL I read how Jackie SPOKE to &TREATED The Late HRMQEII. I can ONLY hope it was her jealousy. I read that Jackie was EXTREMELY rude & hateful to Queen Elizabeth II. To say I was ABSOLUTELY shocked would be a GROSS understatement. From then on, I NEVER bought ANOTHER book about JKO. The Late HRMQEII stands ALONE in my HIGHEST esteem. Even AFTER the Queen's death, there is NO ONE who STILL can say ONE SINGLE ugly word about HRMQEII, NO ONE !! As for the queen's grandson & "this one's wife", and they do NOT even count, in the least. REST IN PEACE, YOUR MAJESTY !!
Hum. Attend a party or stay home to be near her just born premature baby. She may have being jealous of her sister .but that wasn't of good example of jealousy all these old socialites women of the past , Jackie included ,just went to the highest bidder they could snag at the time
Exactly! I don’t think “any” new mother would leave her premature newborn to attend some inauguration no matter who your sister and brother-in-law are! I know where my priorities would be…baby first every time! 😊
She looked better than Jackie. Jackie was famous because of Marrying John Kennedy. Then stealing Onassis away to marry him herself. Christina Onassis couldn't stand her!
@@tarbhnathracAnd multilingual. She was a photographer and journalist who attended two of the most prestigious colleges in the country, Vassar and Georgetown.
I always found Lee to be way better looking than Jackie. Too bad about their rivalry though, and their shameless pursuit of wealth through no real work on their parts 😢
Jacqueline did work as a Book Editor at Doubleday after Ari Onassis died in 1975! She did over 15 years working in her later years and before her death!
Jackie was born at a time when most women from upperclass families were encouraged to marry rich. When they went to college, most didn't graduate. They just went to get their MRS degree. Many dropped out after becoming engaged to a future doctor or lawyer. Jackie and Lee were typical of their times. They just did it better.
These two sisters were not very attractive. I can’t believe how lucky they were to find wealthy men. No wonder Jackie couldn’t stand Marilyn Monroe. Now that was a beautiful woman.
One can plan, scheme, devise, strategize, design and contrive 24/7, and (I'm sure of it) never be as successful as those two were at exacting revenge. It takes a very special degree of vindictive cunning to hit the bullseye so often, so thoroughly. Ermagawd.
Lee wasn't an American princess. She was a Polish princess through her marriage to a Polish aristocrat. She was American, but we have no royal titles that are handed down from America.
The term "princess" was not about genealogy here, but just meant she was of fancy breeding and old money and led a ritzy lifestyle. That you misunderstood and got 30 up votes is laughable.

@@AndrewHeller-jn7dx Here's some helpful information for you. You see, lambchop, when people say Elvis Presley was the King of Rock 'n' Roll, they actually don't mean he had royal blood. You see, dear, Elvis was an American, and here in America, we have no official royalty. And so "king" was just a respectful, complimentary, honorary title to express admiration. Census and genealogy will confirm for you that Elvis had no royal blood of any kind. I hope that clears up any misconception you may have had. You're welcome.
@andrewHeller-jn7dx I was about to remark it is quite common to call someone princess who is spoiled without really thinking of them as a part of royalty.
The JFK Junior plane crash would never have happened had he followed advice given, he did the opposite and a few other bad choices. It is not the Kennedy Curse. I want no harm to ever happen to his sister.
I agree- all the accidents to the Kennedys were because of their recklessness- JFK was told to use the bullet proof bubble top - because of his unpopularity in Texas. RFK was warned not to run for president because of what was going on at the time (late 60s) JFK JR wasn’t experienced enough a pilot and disregarded advice to have co pilot. The same can be said for all other Kennedys that are no longer with us. Reckless behavior was the culprit- not a curse. Unless their ‘curse’ was their arrogance and ignorance and because they believed they were indestructible.
@dawnfalvey6766 Don't forget Joe Kennedy Jr's death in WWII. JFK had been awarded a medal after the wreck of the PT-109. Joe Jr. volunteered for what was essentially a suicide mission across the English Channel because he couldn't stand being outdone by his little brother. He paid the ultimate price for his decision.
How could you omit the death of her son Anthony in 1999?! Also, incidentally, although Jackie Kennedy left nothing to Lee in her will, she did leave $500,000 to each of Lee’s children.
Jacqueline was always jealous of her sister, even though she was more famous. I felt badly for Lee, being pushed out of, what could have been something that meant more happiness.
Very difficult to understand their relationship. Cannot ever imagine this kind of selfishness between siblings. That’s not a little bit of rivalry it’s outright selfishness and basically lack of love for a sibling.
I always wished that both Lee and Jackie would have spent more time helping their cousins, the Bouvier - Beale family. Some may be familiar with who I am talking about, since there are a number of documentaries and movies about the Edith's. Both Edith Bouvier - Beale and Edith's wayward daughter, Little Edie, really needed the help, and it would have been a nice opportunity for Lee and Jackie to get along and do something nice for their relations/cousins. In fact, Edith Bouvier - Beale, or Big Edie, might have been their aunt or great aunt. I can't remember off hand. However, both Big Edie and her daughter, Little Edie, led very interesting lives. Maybe even more so than their famous cousins, Lee and Jackie! The old money families have the best stories, and they have the best 'dirty laundry' . Great video as always. Thank you.
It sounds like Lee Radziwill was not a particularly nice person, but there is something good that should be said about her. When Lee's and Jacqueline's aunt and cousin Edith Beale and the younger Edith Beale of Grey Gardens were living in filth and poverty in a house overrun with cats and raccoons, Lee was there at the house helping with the clearing out and cleaning up. Jacqueline did send money on an ongoing basis, but Lee was there in a house that people in homes downwind could smell and where people sometimes wore flea collars because of the conditions of the house. I saw this in the documentary "That Summer". It was mentioned in the documentary that shortly before filming started, Lee Radziwill had been dealing with an unspecified medical condition. She was terribly thin in "That Summer" and I wonder if this unplanned help for her relatives was difficult for Lee, but at least on film there's not a word of complaint. Not only that I'd never known of Lee Radziwill's help to her relatives and, best as I can tell, apart from a few minutes in an obscure documatary, Lee drew no attention to herself for her kindness and took no credit for the improvement that were made though it's well-known Jacqueline sent money from a distance.
Jacqueline dressed better and had more style! Jacqueline never, liked fame ( according to writers) but her marriage to Greek Onassis made her famous in Europe! When US First Lady,Jacqueline was famous in Canada and the US. The marriage to Ari Onassis, made her known in Europe!
Jackie was unique her beauty was her poise, elegance and how she carried herself with a lot of Grace. Lee always tried to catch up until her death she will always be known for Jackie sister. Even after Jackie death it haunted Lee. Jackie will always be a Fashion Icon and known world wide. Lee is the shadow Jackie will always be Present after all this time Jackie is talked about and imitated. Lee is an after thought until today.
I personally think that Lee as an adult was most beautiful than Jackie… Jackie was definitely elegant! and educated; and so was Lee… to me Jackie’s eyes are too separate and her teeth very uneven
They both married for money. They were not exactly heiresses. Their father was a drunken loser who squandered his money. In my opinion, both of them had eating .disorders.
Not a word about her children in later life? Her son Anthony's death from cancer 2 weeks after JFK Jr's plane crash? Tony and John were very close as cousins.
@@Ellen-hs7zbWhy?? They weren't brother & sister or father & daughter??!! Just two consenting adults doing their thing!! Nothing insentious about that
@@jcbulldog533 The Bible says God also prohibits one from sleeping with people who are closely related such as two sisters, a mother and her daughter, two brothers, etc.
Lee, to cheer Jackie up, begged Onassis to let her invite Jackie on his yatch for the summer. When the vacation was over as parting gift, he gave Lee a small diamond-studded bracelet but to Jackie a diamond and ruby necklace. Later they got married without telling Lee who thaught they were still together.
Despite liking Jackie's clothing style during the 60's, specially while she was married to JFK, at one point she began clearly showing to be a very narcissistic, self centered person, with some traits of psychopathy. After this video, I'm sure my impression of her was correct.
I have a younger sister who was so jealous of me. I don’t know why. She was my mother’s favorite and I always took care of my two sisters and treated them lovingly. I am no longer talking to my youngest sister as she has constantly betrayed me. I don’t miss her at all. Very toxic, narcissist person!
@@tiffanyferguson829 LOL... from some of the bios I watched on this channel, they're not even good at that. Her sister had something like 3 or 4 miscarriages.
Aristotle married Jackie because of the clout he could receive because she was the president's wife and jackie made him pay and he did and requetted it
Jackie was intelligent, classy and a wonderful First Lady. I respected her and admired her and felt that she loved our country and wanted to improve and enhance our country.
@@malkaz9167 hardly; she was tacky, classless and not at all attractive. No I'm not some magat either, I respect what JFK tried to do, but his trophy wife was NOT a prize at all.
Before Jackie was a hard working editor and she was, she worked as a photo journalist in the 50's before marrying Jack, it may have been for the Washington post, I cannot speak to Lee but Jackie did work, work that took many forms and was of real substance, you really ought to research better before you attempt a scathing condemnation of such a beloved public icon(rightly or wrongly deserved) a scintilla of research dispells your attempted slight of Jackie, you just sound jelly😂😂😂
I have never understood the obsession with Jackie Kennedy. I don't think she was beautiful at all. At best she could be called "plain". Her sister Lee was okay, but no great looker either.
Real shame, they seemed to have everything and yet were so petty and small. She died in an expensive NYC apartment, she must of had a lot of money on her own.
Where is that 1966 TV version of Laura? Back in the late '70s, a friend told me she'd just seen it on TV in Houston. That's when I first heard of it, so it must have kicked around as a syndicated re-run for many years. I've always wanted to see it. Really surprised it's never been uploaded to YT.
Jackie was a woman who had cash register eyes . She was tough and ruthless the press built her imaĝe they built camalot far from it ! Lee was the best dressed she was the one wĥo had style and grace , jackie stole onasses from lee she saw that money and history shows what happened onassis wanted to dump her but died before he called her the black widow death followed her where ever she went, he was sorry that he ever married her. He called her a gold digger . She later hooked up with Timpelsman who was married , that did not bother her in the least he invested her money and grew her fortune.
If The Kennedys had been at Their Hight of Popularity now, every one would see The Hypocrisy, nothing is private now with Social Media!! Jackie Kennedy tolerated so many degrading actions, all for Money and Notice, real Women are famous for their own achievements and intelligence, not because they Marry into a Family of Irish Immigrants!!
Maria Callas, was true classic, and yes, treated like a used has been by a man she gave her all too. She got justice though, all his billions could not save him and his business.
I dont think Jackie cared about anyone but her children. She was hardly a dutiful daughter, she ignored her cousins at Grey Gardens and her own sister.
Wreak, as in wreak havoc rhymes with leek. It doesn’t rhyme with deck. “Executors” as in “Executors of his will” is pronounced ex-ECK-youters, not EXicuters. I think English may not be your first language-so these little blips are no big deal-just trying to help out for future reference.
The late beautiful and creative Lee Radziwill was no princess, only when she was married to Prince Radziwill until they divorced! After that she went by the name simply as Lee Radziwill! She was Princess Radziwill during the Kennedy administration, and her late husband was a Polish prince! An "American princess' is a huge misnomer, we don't do princesses, princes, kings and queens in this country! We fought the Revolutionary War against that whom my forebears who came here in 1648, 1721 and 1738, three of them generals fought in! Signed the granddaughter of my late paternal grandmother who was a member of the DAR, "Daughters of the American Revolution! So calling the late beautiful and creative First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, an American Queen is another huge misnomer!
This needs a narrator who doesn't deliver in a monotone, singsong delivery. I turned the sound off and subtitles on... but eventually half way through turned the whole thing off.
Wow, if that's all it took for Mr. Cope to drop Lee like a dirty shirt then he didn't really he love her and she was ultimately better off without him, anyway. Perhaps Jackie already knew that but wanted to test the boundaries to find it out before he tried to marry her sister instead of after. Hard to say, but sad for Lee, regardless.
I've always felt sorry for Maria Callas , she had class , and great style, and she truly loved Onassis. She was treated very badly .
Truly so! She was betrayed and at her age, humiliated.

Having the elastic on your underwear give up isn't exactly a life-altering event. In fact my grandma, born in 1900, had words of advice ready for the droop... "Step out of them gracefully, kneel, pick them up and put them in your purse."
It actually happened to me once and I've always wondered if picking them up with the toe of my high-heeled shoe, as I did, was sufficient adherence to Gramma's words.
Funny you should say that. My father's parents met that way. They were at a dance and my grandmother lost her knickers in the middle of the dance floor and my grandfather picked it up for her. The rest is history.

It doesn’t happen to the rich! If so, it’s planned.
In 1994, the same year that Jackie died of cancer, Lee’s son Anthony was diagnosed with sarcoma. He died five years later, just three weeks after his cousin and best friend JFK Jr. crashed his plane off Martha’s Vineyard.
I loved JFK jr but he was a thrillseeker. It cost him his life and his wife and his sister in law.
Why did he insist on flying with a broken leg? He was very experienced in being a pilot either
@@ann5765 It’s a tragedy not only that JFK Jr. lacked the instrument rating to fly in haze, but also that he turned down the co-pilot who’d offered to accompany him on that flight. IMHO he jammed too many things into his weekend, forcing the late departure that ultimately may have killed him. JFK Jr. was believed to be taking pain medication for his broken ankle. A constellation of bad decisions brought down that plane.
He should have had a copilot
@@ann5765totally agree. It was a second or third generation thing. He apparently was not the sharpest knife in the shed. Intelligence??? His sister is now the US Ambassador in our country Australia. We were thrilled when this appointment was announced. She is an amazing Lady. 🇦🇺🇺🇸
People have this idea that Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was this tragic, good-hearted woman fate decided to continually crap on . . . but that couldn't be further from the truth. She was ruthless, haughty, money-hungry, and cold to anyone who got in her way or betrayed her. Deep down inside I think she did love Lee--after all, she named her daughter "Caroline" after her--but there was resentment and jealousy that came out in the cruellest of ways that her destroying Lee's spirit and good fortune. Anyone who hung around Lee fell in love with her spirit and vivacious nature; anyone who hung around Jackie learned to walk a minefield and tried to distance themselves. Jackie looks like her dad but acts like her mother. Funny enough, Caroline looks like her dad (JFK) and acts like her mother; whereas Lee looks like her mom and acts like her dad, and JFK jr looks like Jackie and acts like his dad.
I think Truman Capote summed up the sister rivalry the best: "Lee has more beauty and class and fashion sense in her pinky than Jackie has in her whole body."
My aunt was close to Jackie and totally liked her. But then my aunt was a strong woman who would never be distressed about losing a bossy friend. I think Jackie treated strong people well. BTW, the father left his daughters traumatized in many ways. I know - from family sources - what disturbing presence he was. He also did his best to ruin Jackie's wedding day to JFK.
Truman Capote “got it right!” Everyone has feet of clay and the public can be fooled when only shown part of the picture. 😢

I hate that we call these people “America Royalty”, we don’t have that here and shouldn’t use poetic license with that either. It makes these people really think they are better than everyone else:
They were better.
@@kbboyle8826 they were NEVER better.
@@kbboyle8826 In which sense? The father, Jack Bouvier was alcoholic and broke at the end of his life. He boasted a noble lineage, but genealogist denied him any noble origin, and the mother was a social climber seaking for wealthy men to support a extravagant lifestyle. They were no royalty at all!
To me the term "royalty," is pretty much a man-made and self-annointed one anyway. I AM related to the British Royal Family by kinshp lines. If you actually DO the true research on the family lines, they all started out with warrior tribes and clans and whoever could trounce, kill, or steal or take the most from the other ones, crowned themselves. REALLY! I think of King David , etc. in the scriptures as the royal lines. Look at what Kind David and King Solomon chose to do when they as mortals became too powerful and up in their own heads with their authority. They are ALL mortals and subject to the weaknesses of their own foilbles and have to repent and make amends for their sins ( if they actually can for acts like murders, only God can do that.)
Their father was toxic...he made it so that being wealthy meant more than anything else.
Just like the Kennedy patriarch along with power.
I agree. It's amazing how one toxic person can cause so much damage to so many people's lives.
The mother was even worse!!!
The mother was more the money seeker.
That's not true. The mom Janet Auchincloss was more toxic.
It always amazes me that people who never knew the subject, or indeed did not even live thru that era, can take their scathing opinions and recite them as facts.
True! But, human beings with a non-biased view, can be very discerning. Jackie was in my era. She was lovely, well bred, and decent. But, she was not smart, and somewhat conceited. Whose perfect? Lee, was obviously keener, and had more innate talents, but Jackie had “destiny”. There was no topping this.
@@hanselpollack4075Oh, contraire! She was highly educated. She spoke and WROTE French fluently. She was educated at Vassar and was an editor. You have to be intelligent to accomplish those things.

It really depends on the parents, how siblings get along. When parents play favorites, pit one against another intentionally or not, bitterness and jealousy happens. I wish Lee had the courage to separate herself from Jackie and her family and go her own way in mind and space.

@tapsars7911 **** Actually, there were ONLY two women I respected & admired more than ANYONE, EXCEPT the women in my OWN family, (Mother, Maternal Aunt & Maternal Grandmother) That was HRMQEII & JACKIE. That is UNTIL I read how Jackie SPOKE to &TREATED The Late HRMQEII. I can ONLY hope it was her jealousy. I read that Jackie was EXTREMELY rude & hateful to Queen Elizabeth II. To say I was ABSOLUTELY shocked would be a GROSS understatement. From then on, I NEVER bought ANOTHER book about JKO. The Late HRMQEII stands ALONE in my HIGHEST esteem. Even AFTER the Queen's death, there is NO ONE who STILL can say ONE SINGLE ugly word about HRMQEII, NO ONE !!

Everyone has their own opinion. I always thought Jackie was prettier.
Jacqueline did work as a Book Editor at Doubleday after Ari Onassis died in 1975! She did over 15 years working in her later years and before her death!
@@kdtennis1 OK, but the shameless pursuit of wealth still stands.
Jackie was born at a time when most women from upperclass families were encouraged to marry rich. When they went to college, most didn't graduate. They just went to get their MRS degree. Many dropped out after becoming engaged to a future doctor or lawyer. Jackie and Lee were typical of their times. They just did it better.
I always thought.lee was the better looking, Jackie had an unusual looking face but was very chic.
Jackie had a square face, not that attractive

No!
Keep it zipped, buddy.
A US First Lady on the make with beautiful clothes. That describes Jacqueline Kennedy before she married Ari Onassis!
You sound pressed that the fact someone who is "unattractive" like Jackie could still pull rich or attractive men.
One can plan, scheme, devise, strategize, design and contrive 24/7, and (I'm sure of it) never be as successful as those two were at exacting revenge. It takes a very special degree of vindictive cunning to hit the bullseye so often, so thoroughly. Ermagawd.

What a freaking mess! This is a terrible way to spend life.
The JFK Junior plane crash would never have happened had he followed advice given, he did the opposite and a few other bad choices. It is not the Kennedy Curse. I want no harm to ever happen to his sister.
I agree- all the accidents to the Kennedys were because of their recklessness- JFK was told to use the bullet proof bubble top - because of his unpopularity in Texas. RFK was warned not to run for president because of what was going on at the time (late 60s) JFK JR wasn’t experienced enough a pilot and disregarded advice to have co pilot. The same can be said for all other Kennedys that are no longer with us. Reckless behavior was the culprit- not a curse. Unless their ‘curse’ was their arrogance and ignorance and because they believed they were indestructible.
@dawnfalvey6766 Don't forget Joe Kennedy Jr's death in WWII. JFK had been awarded a medal after the wreck of the PT-109. Joe Jr. volunteered for what was essentially a suicide mission across the English Channel because he couldn't stand being outdone by his little brother. He paid the ultimate price for his decision.
Yes there is no curse it's men irish men being arrogant and reckless don't see the Kennedy women being reckless just the men.
How could you omit the death of her son Anthony in 1999?! Also, incidentally, although Jackie Kennedy left nothing to Lee in her will, she did leave $500,000 to each of Lee’s children.
I never thought Jackie was pretty, she cleans up very well and she’s got style, but I always thought Lee was truly a beauty, just my opinion
Jacqueline was always jealous of her sister, even though she was more famous. I felt badly for Lee, being pushed out of, what could have been something that meant more happiness.
What a bunch of awful, greedy, disloyal and cruel people. All of them obsessed with money, bed hopping and one upmanship. Yuk
Very difficult to understand their relationship. Cannot ever imagine this kind of selfishness between siblings. That’s not a little bit of rivalry it’s outright selfishness and basically lack of love for a sibling.
I always wished that both Lee and Jackie would have spent more time helping their cousins, the Bouvier - Beale family. Some may be familiar with who I am talking about, since there are a number of documentaries and movies about the Edith's. Both Edith Bouvier - Beale and Edith's wayward daughter, Little Edie, really needed the help, and it would have been a nice opportunity for Lee and Jackie to get along and do something nice for their relations/cousins. In fact, Edith Bouvier - Beale, or Big Edie, might have been their aunt or great aunt. I can't remember off hand. However, both Big Edie and her daughter, Little Edie, led very interesting lives. Maybe even more so than their famous cousins, Lee and Jackie! The old money families have the best stories, and they have the best 'dirty laundry' . Great video as always. Thank you.
It sounds like Lee Radziwill was not a particularly nice person, but there is something good that should be said about her. When Lee's and Jacqueline's aunt and cousin Edith Beale and the younger Edith Beale of Grey Gardens were living in filth and poverty in a house overrun with cats and raccoons, Lee was there at the house helping with the clearing out and cleaning up. Jacqueline did send money on an ongoing basis, but Lee was there in a house that people in homes downwind could smell and where people sometimes wore flea collars because of the conditions of the house. I saw this in the documentary "That Summer". It was mentioned in the documentary that shortly before filming started, Lee Radziwill had been dealing with an unspecified medical condition. She was terribly thin in "That Summer" and I wonder if this unplanned help for her relatives was difficult for Lee, but at least on film there's not a word of complaint. Not only that I'd never known of Lee Radziwill's help to her relatives and, best as I can tell, apart from a few minutes in an obscure documatary, Lee drew no attention to herself for her kindness and took no credit for the improvement that were made though it's well-known Jacqueline sent money from a distance.

When the vacation was over as parting gift, he gave Lee a small diamond-studded bracelet but to Jackie a diamond and ruby necklace. Later they got married without telling Lee who thaught they were still together.
Despite liking Jackie's clothing style during the 60's, specially while she was married to JFK, at one point she began clearly showing to be a very narcissistic, self centered person, with some traits of psychopathy. After this video, I'm sure my impression of her was correct.

Signed the granddaughter of my late paternal grandmother who was a member of the DAR, "Daughters of the American Revolution! So calling the late beautiful and creative First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, an American Queen is another huge misnomer!
She also dated Onassis. And her sister stole him to marry the billionaire.
The narrator spoiled this by talking far too quickly
Slow the speed down
It would be nice if you slowed down reading. I'm trying to understand how Lee's underwear fell down at a gala. Were they that elastic weak?
Will do! Thanks for letting us know, we always appreciate the feedback.
She'd lost a lot of weight? purchased too large to begin with?❤
This needs a narrator who doesn't deliver in a monotone, singsong delivery.
I turned the sound off and subtitles on... but eventually half way through turned the whole thing off.
Always thought Lee was prettier than Jackie.
Wow, if that's all it took for Mr. Cope to drop Lee like a dirty shirt then he didn't really he love her and she was ultimately better off without him, anyway. Perhaps Jackie already knew that but wanted to test the boundaries to find it out before he tried to marry her sister instead of after. Hard to say, but sad for Lee, regardless.
