My parents lived Camelot. I was born in '60 and I remember my mom dressing like Jackie for church on Sunday mornings. It was a magical time... ✨️ 💛 Sacramento, California USA 🇺🇸
.......Yesssss ! ❤️😍👏🏼 Mom framed a photo of The Couple from the colored newspaper magazine cover and hung it in our “Entrance Room”.....Jackie in a deep blue dress......and I’ve read she always and still wrote polite and classy Thank You notes on her engraved Tiffany Blue stationery.....my idol ! Air Force One was painted that pretty and subtle blue color per Jackie’s request...enjoyed so much they’ve kept this color up to and including Today ! She was always A Star and Represented us all so very well !
Jaclyn Smith is still one of the most BEAUTIFUL and talented actors EVER. She did a fantastic job in this even if it was a sappy, syrupy version of the events.
I can't imagine the pain she went through having the memory of what she saw happen to her husband in her mind for the rest of her life. R.I.P. Jack and Jackie Kennedy
It’s sad that thousands of Americas lose their husbands and children every year in America. And most have no money or fame. Often very little time off from work to process. Sad indeed it became normal
It drove her into depression and she was hitting the alcohol to cope. She had noghtmares, sleeplessness,fatige and was suicidal. She needed professional help!
Made in the era of innocence. So much has surfaced in the meantime about their private lives that altered the Camelot theme. But nobody can deny that she had one hell of a life.
Jackie Kennedy was a wonderful ray of light that came into our lives with all the necessary attributes needed to be respected around the world as was her husband President JF Kennedy. She spoke many languages and brought style and grace to her position as First Lady. RI P Mrs Kennedy you will never be forgotten by a grateful country.
I don't know why so few comments here are positive. No doubt the actors couldn't be those they dramatized, but they do a fine job and are true to form. Much truth was presented here.
.... .even being an editor at Doubleday, I do not believe she ever authored an autobiography.....I guess her juiciest one was a huge volume of facts and details that I loved reading....Kitty Kelly, I believe.....
Great cast of actors to help us enjoy this film even more!!!! James Franciscus...what a handsome man!!! Love Jaclyn Smith...so beautiful!!! Even after all these years later, she is still simply stunning!!!
Jacqueline died very young in retrospect. All the metamphetamines she did with Jack… chain smoking …. Broke Maria Callas’ heart when she married Onassis. She had the Kennedy s family negotiate her dowry with Onassis before she married him. Money 💰 money 💰 money…….! She had two sides to her.
Back then a lot of people didn’t know that…remember when all the talk was informing people smoking caused cancer, I was in high school when Jack Kennedy was killed, all of sudden asked who has a radio….I did, we listened that he died…teacher said go straight home….I rode the subway home, not a person spoke, the crying there,
I was in my 7th grade Science class w Mr. Greenberg when the Principal came into the class and whispered something to the teacher and the teacher looked down.. we were told we were dismissed and our parents would be picking us up. Three straight days of silence with the exception of round the clock TV coverage. I was 12 years old.. Jonas E Salk Jr HS, Levittown, NY
The way Jack romanced Jackie was awful . I would have given him some of his own treatment ! 😊 But then again the course of history would have been different.. This was rather like a Danielle Steel movie !
She made rude remarks about women when she was consulting with Cassini about her wardrobe. She really wanted to wear French couture, but was forced to use an American designer to reduce criticism.
Had they been common old working people, no one would give a tinker's damn about the Kennedy's. Being rich crooks still looked romantic to factory laborers.
😳 If a guy treats you like crap at first dinner, then run fast as you can. Red flag alarm for narcs. Can’t believe this smart woman fell for a selfisch, entitled idiot.
Google "Camelot" within this context. (You sound relatively young.) Granted, I was only 3, when JFK was killed, but people told me too often that I resembled her for me not to look into this (and my mother was fascinated with her charm and elegance and the magic of Camelot, I think, so I may have spotted some magazines as a child).
I was born on November 23rd and according to my father, when he and my mother arrived at the clinic on the 22nd, not knowing what had happened, a distraught nurse came up to them and said "le président est mort, le président est mort!!" (the president is dead, the president is dead!!). They made my mother watch (in labour), the TV on the events that happened that day on Swiss television.
I enjoyed this storytelling of her life. No need to titillate on the sordid bits, you can find that rubbish everywhere. Just a simple story, well told. Thank you.
Jackie didn't marry jfk for his miney. She loved him. But i do believe that jfk married her cause he "needed" a wife to look good the Presidenty eleccion .
Thank you for sharing your wonderful video I have loved watching it,I am a bit of a history buff always interested in the presidents of the United States cheers 🥂
It has been many years now since the assassination of President Kennedy. I was 13 years old and lived around 40 miles from Dallas. Those of us still living will never forget it. It concerns me that through the years many facts that were true have been blurred. I hope history will record the truth, but I suspect in the next 50 years there will not be much left of the true history of this event. My Dad was standing on the street when the motorcade came out of Fort Worth. He said he was so close he could have reached out and touched him. His friend yelled, hey Jack and the President turned and looked right at them. He said he was struck by his very ruddy complexion. Probably the Irish coming out. Of course it was a thrill to get to see them. Imagine his shock when he heard the President was dead two hours later. I believe that was a Friday. Two days later we had come in after church, and the TV was on. We saw Jack Ruby murder Lee Harvey Oswald in real time. That is a lot more common now with communication available throughout the world. We can see wars as they occur. We can see life or death situations. Then though our times were innocent. It was such a shock. Something hard to describe unless U lived through it.
I never knew her story so it was great watching this. Cant believe her dad didnt turn up to walk her down the aisle. She was so elegant and dressed beautifully at all times. I still remember her photos
Great movie was made about Jacqueline and jack kennedy. It was interesting to me because I didn’t know all the details. Thank you for the nice movie❤❤❤❤❤❤
It was only a 2 hour movie. JFK had too many women to fit into that small time slot! 😂 Actually, from what I've read, he used to boof a different woman every day in the White House. All snuck in. It was such a joke that the secret service actually gave him he code name 'Lancer.' 🤣
I suppose director knew there would be no time..I not surprised that her sister was mentioned or even her other siblings that are from a different father. Were they not close at all for her Mom's sake? Did her poor father pass away by himself? Great movie, just ALOT of unanswered questions.
I was 2 hrs old when The president was killed all I remember is my mom ironing watching the tv then crying, she called my dad , I wanted to sing silent night to make her happy.
The film is not showing anything of Jacqueline's heavy smoking habit from a young age. She even encouraged her younger sister to smoke to stay thin and develop a smoker's voice to sound more sophisticated. Miss Smith is not minicing the voice either.
I remember Jackie from his time in office. No one had a thing to say about her beyond commenting on her outside appearance. She wasted years of opportunities to serve the public by doing exactly....nothing

They needed a younger actress to play her a young girl. Jaclyn Smith, while beautiful and good for her as an adult, was 36 when this was made. Kept throwing me off.
Hello, this was excellent as far as it went... however, life went on for Jaqualine and her children. I would be very interested in seeing the next road foe the family
All the women went through it. Jackie, Ethel, and Joan. Other women, death. Ted crashed in an airplane. They had miscarriages and still births. And Old Mrs Kennedy was a penny pincher. I think being a Kennedy would suck. Jackie's childhood wasn't the greatest either. They had their misery. And Ted drove that car into the water and that girl died. Keep your daughters away from Kennedy's. And your boys too.
It was a good movie. I see the complaints in the comments and I think it is just because - try as you may - you cannot recreate Camelot... I was only 5 when President Kennedy was assassinated so I did not see those White House years play out but I recall vividly the assassination as well as my mother talking about it. I found this movie most interesting.
@@bluecollarlit I find it so interesting that everyone I have ever spoken with concerning JFK's assassination - if they were at least 5 years of age at the time it took place - have a memory of where they were when they heard about it.
.......and it had these fabric flowers sewn onto and all around the bottom....very unique......it allowed her natural beauty to shine thru.....no sixties “bouffant” yet.....Sept, 1953?, in Newport, RI......where the motel is into which evil-minded mean Janet had a friend go to Jack’s room that morning and proceed to get him too drunk to walk his beloved Jackie down the aisle.....a moment I’m quite sure he has dreamed of.....to deny him that honored moment in the proud spotlight was one of the meanest-spirited plan I’d ever heard of !
These people will never know what they did to kill this man. It was so stupid of what they did excuse my language, but he was one of the best president we’ve ever had in this world. I will never be another Camelot like Miss Jacqueline said big mistake they made in this world.
Jaclyn smith IS BEAUTIFUL. I THINK THAT SHE DID THE BEST JOB THAT SHE COULD IN THIS MOVIE. The SCRIPT IS NOT ONLY UN-HISTORICAL, BUT THE DIALOG IS SO CUTESY THAT IT MAKES ME WANNA PUKE.
She wasn't rich, her father lost all his money in the stock market and her mother had to marry a rich man for her stepfather. I think Jackie had a real fear of being poor.
Friend of mine was a hairdresser for one of her classmates at Miss Porters. She said Jackie was always telling everyone how rich she was.@@pauladouglas9891
It was really Fun to tour her Hammersmith Farm, RI, home......I saw the black phone from which she’d receive Jack’s calls, that stairway.....and, at the time of our tour , in maybe the eighties?, her Mother, Janet, was living in the lighthouse on that property..... I’ve been so fascinated by that fact.....and so wished I could see that from the inside.....she must have Loved the sea so much she could not leave her lovely view.....
From IMDB: Release Date: October 14, 1981 - Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy: Directed by Steve Gethers. With Jaclyn Smith, James Franciscus, Rod Taylor, Stephen Elliott. Biography focusing on the former First Lady's years in D.C., from working as a newspaper's "Inquiring Camera Girl" to meeting and being
Jackie Kennedy was The Most beautiful First Lady Our Country has ever had she once said about raising children "If you fail with your Children anything else you do in life really won't matter" and I believe she was right. This awesome woman lived through more in her short life and stood strong than most people ever imagined She seen her husband Father of her children Murdered. right beside her She lived through her Brother in law's Murder She had Class like we have never seen in a First Lady before or since.....Jaclyn Smith did an awesome Job Thank You for Remembering a wonderful First Lady....
Exactly! Television styles changed very abruptly back then. Soap opera format bit big and heavy right at the beginning of the decade. Even some of the later Charlie's Angels episodes seemed like TV movie dramas.
Seriously? You cut the sound before the wedding ceremony, then again the last 2 minutes of the film? You should have blocked comments / then I would have known to not bother!
ROD TAYLOR FROM THE "BIRDS". GREAT CHOICE TO CAST HIM AS............... JACK "BLACKJACK" BOUVIER👍. JAMES FRANCISCUS STARRED IN A SHOW, "THE "STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO". HE ALSO PORTRAYED A BLIND DETECTIVE IN A SHOW NAMED, "LONGSTREET". 😇🎤.
I love this kind of biography movies 🎬 I hope to see Grace Kelly from Cheryl Ladd in 80's I never seen again. Thanks for post Jackie Kennedy is lovely.❤❤❤
@@bernardagutierrezfica3109your comment was so positive and delightful - maybe also bc it was right after a negative one...Thank You ! I always loved and admired Jackie, since my parents hung their photo in our “entrance room” in the sixties.....I watch this to see if I can glean any additional facts about this woman I’ve loved to admire ! Like, how she only used to use Tiffany Blue Letterhead, loved to perpetuate The Art if the hand-written note, so many lovely and clever things.....she wore her clothes as well as Melania does, always with dignity and Grace.....one of these tell-all movies even depicted when she ‘held court’ while visiting England, as a guest of The Queen.....after a dinner, at The Palace, or mansion, she hung around making and laughing at jokes made by her male admires.....about The Queen ! Liquor may have added to her total Lapse of Judgement, nine of us are perfect, but this so disappointed me ! My Fault, bc I Enjoyed my pedestal I put her on.....not fair to any human for me to do...I just cannot help myself sometimes.....and...alas.....they all fall down.
Exactly, I love Jacqueline Smith but they could have had a teenager play her as a 13 yr old, as if there aren't any teenagers left in the country to hire...🙄 were they trying to save money for 1 person ?!
That sure is an abrupt jump from Miss Porter's School to the newspaper photographer gig... And her haircut at that point is purely a 1980's 'do... her makeup in the 1950's scenes is purely 1980's as well. One day maybe we will get a rigorously correct telling of this tale... with every detail of the scenes period true.
Well, when one is under the tutelage of Miss Porter, one is ready for just about anything. Whether it be a newspaper gig in DC or a night at Studio 54 with a 1980's hairstyle! 🤣
Jacquline Kennedy was an intelligent classy lady but I wish ppl would be realistic, just because they admired her hardwork n personality does not mean she was beautiful, she was NOT beautiful nor was she ugly, she simply knew how to dress because she had taste, that had nothing to do with her features. We are all entitled to our own opinion incase someone attacks me for my words. Meanwhile no matter what Jacqueline's mother thought of her ex husband she had no right insisting the step father walk her down the aisle on her wedding day, that was a heartless demand to make.
Beauty is completely subjective, everything you described/listed is exactly the substance, core and joi de vie that so many people quantify to assess beauty/what is beautiful, I'm concerned that you may be a tremendously shallow, superficial, tedious really, person.....well it does take all kinds, that's the political answer
@bethewalt7385 🤣🤣🤣 I worry that YOU are a shallow person because you can't handle the truth, Jacqueline Kennedy had many wonderful qualities as I stated but NO she was no beauty physically (FACE), her figure was wonderful, her beauty came within, there are MANY attractive women around the world...quite sad how yr mind works...for instance Halle Berry has natural beauty, so did Sophia Loren, Grace Kelly and Jacklyn Smith herself, ppl do not need to be physically attractive to be loved and called beautiful but you wouldn't know that because you clearly don't have the intelligence to see the truth n chose to disrespect someone online who see it like it is...take care of yrself n see things for what they are...how rude of you to call someone shallow because they speak the truth, what a rude individual you are !
@@shirleyminassian1547 "Truth" you say? How do YOU know that's the "truth" that Jacqueline was not beautiful? That is one person's opinion, and very presumptuous of you to attempt to invoke your opinion on others. I happened to think she WAS indeed beautiful, no matter what you think.
@fadedrose9 I was looking at her physical look in her face n NO, she was NOT beautiful, there are many more beautiful women whether you like it or not, I have eyes and can see what is on TV and anywhere else advertised, there is no need for you to be nasty and at NO POINT did I invoke my opinion on anyone else, you two bullies did !!! I simply shared what I saw like millions of other ppl, we don't have to agree, YOU and the other person did, I'm just as much entitled to do so just as you feel you are !!!! I was told I was SHALLOW for my opinion, THAT is why I replied to that person, now that the both of you are bullies online, attacking someone of their opinion, I suggest you STOP with your behaviour and get off social media just because I don't agree with both you, SHAME ON YOU to call me what you two are doing !! ....get a life, get over yourselves and accept other ppls opinions in a public domain or GET OFF IT, that's how small minded you are that you can't even see it, clearly your bored with your life, my opinion of Jacqueline Kennedy " IS " the truth whether you like it or not, I wouldn't be surprised if you have some kind of monetary gain from her estate if yr so obsessed about sucking up to her.
@@katrinamoore3520 Jacquiline Smith, ala Charlie's Angels, was/is an amazing beauty. Jackie O was a handsome woman and a good fashion plate, but no raving beauty
@@lisawentworth6831her eyes were too far apart. However she was classy, discreet, and well educated. She was no angel by no means. While her husband had a very active extracurricular activities, so did she.
I'd rather be poor & be with my family, than rich with no family: What a horrible life: Jackie got to pay to have a family....... called expensive school fees:
A lady i know said her parents church called a meeting to discuss if they were going to vote an Irish Catholic into office I was shocked but it was a different time i guess
Well......a very rich one ! No one ever could have a negative thing to say about her mothering......she was one of the best.....even with all the nannies.....and, to think, she was so “prophetic” in insisting her beloved beautiful son Not learn to nor fly.....she saw how the plane crash that forever crushed her husband when it killed his son.....of he had only heeded her words....even after her passing....he’d still be Here, with us, to photograph and admire.....he was the enchanting product, as is his sister, a real manifestation of their Camelot... .she was so poetic as she described their love story as in Camelot....and how he’d listen to that exact song Everynight....and her poetic mind lives on in their Legacy.......so memorable.....so sad.....and so beautiful.....
I have to honestly ask the filmmakers (costume department) how one could get Jacqueline's wedding dress so horribly wrong! It looks not even remotely similar. Also the veil and headpiece are completely wrong. Offputting, to say the least.
My parents lived Camelot. I was born in '60 and I remember my mom dressing like Jackie for church on Sunday mornings. It was a magical time... ✨️ 💛 Sacramento, California USA 🇺🇸

It's true, Kennedy's reasons weren't entirely noble from the get go, but after he became president he developed great respect and deep love for Jackie
Do you really think Jackie would fall in love and marry a Trailer Park trash??????
The father Joe sr. pushed the marriage, Jackie fit the plan. But I think they loved each other.
Then why he married someone again that his name is omitted out of what?

I read that her mother had a bottle delivered to his hotel room. He was an alcoholic and found passed out in his room after the wedding
Dad was too drunk to walk her down the aisle.

Thanks for sharing it! I always enjoy watching Great Movies though. 👍👌👏
And of course, I'm a subscriber!
Thanks Again Though.
Hello, this was excellent as far as it went... however, life went on for Jaqualine and her children. I would be very interested in seeing the next road foe the family
Ĵaqueling Smith did a exceptional acting portraying The first Lady of
The United States of America.
This was very good. I saw it before 😊.
I saw another movie of jacqueline, its so wonderful
All the women went through it. Jackie, Ethel, and Joan. Other women, death. Ted crashed in an airplane. They had miscarriages and still births. And Old Mrs Kennedy was a penny pincher. I think being a Kennedy would suck. Jackie's childhood wasn't the greatest either. They had their misery. And Ted drove that car into the water and that girl died. Keep your daughters away from Kennedy's. And your boys too.
Ted drove a car into the water. Joe Jr and Kathleen died in plane crashes. The Kennedys took risks.
My mother named me after Jacqueline Kennedy ❤❤ Great movie ❤
That’s awesome! Baby Jacqueline’s arrived by the boatload in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s due the the enormous popularity of Jacqueline Kennedy.
Jacqueline is such a beautiful French name❤
Cool! I am happy to see that it's spelled the traditional way.
It was a good movie. I see the complaints in the comments and I think it is just because - try as you may - you cannot recreate Camelot...
I was only 5 when President Kennedy was assassinated so I did not see those White House years play out but I recall vividly the assassination as well as my mother talking about it.
I found this movie most interesting.
Same age, here.
One of my earliest memories. And then Sunday, when Ruby killed Oswald, my dad and I were watching it on TV.
@@bluecollarlit I find it so interesting that everyone I have ever spoken with concerning JFK's assassination - if they were at least 5 years of age at the time it took place - have a memory of where they were when they heard about it.
Jaclyn Smith's monologue at Time 2:08:16 is outstanding. Very, very good.
She loved horses 🐎
Jackie's wedding dress is not even close. Hers was off the shoulder, totally different. The movie must not have been able to copy it ??
Pretty embarrassing if they can't copy a wedding dress 🤦
.......and it had these fabric flowers sewn onto and all around the bottom....very unique......it allowed her natural beauty to shine thru.....no sixties “bouffant” yet.....Sept, 1953?, in Newport, RI......where the motel is into which evil-minded mean Janet had a friend go to Jack’s room that morning and proceed to get him too drunk to walk his beloved Jackie down the aisle.....a moment I’m quite sure he has dreamed of.....to deny him that honored moment in the proud spotlight was one of the meanest-spirited plan I’d ever heard of !
These people will never know what they did to kill this man. It was so stupid of what they did excuse my language, but he was one of the best president we’ve ever had in this world. I will never be another Camelot like Miss Jacqueline said big mistake they made in this world.
#Kennedy2024.
Camelot was a myth. It was hell behind the lie. Read a few of the books of the Kennedy family. Ari was a monster too.
Jaclyn smith IS BEAUTIFUL. I THINK THAT SHE DID THE BEST JOB THAT SHE COULD IN THIS MOVIE. The SCRIPT IS NOT ONLY UN-HISTORICAL, BUT THE DIALOG IS SO CUTESY THAT IT MAKES ME WANNA PUKE.
Thank you for the upload!
Wow, she grew up in such opulent wealth. I knew she was like a porcelien doll and like a princess, but had no idea she grew up in that much wealth.
Quite a bit of it was illusion.
She wasn't rich, her father lost all his money in the stock market and her mother had to marry a rich man for her stepfather. I think Jackie had a real fear of being poor.
I don't think I would make a good husband- that was an understatement!
Friend of mine was a hairdresser for one of her classmates at Miss Porters. She said Jackie was always telling everyone how rich she was.@@pauladouglas9891
It was really Fun to tour her Hammersmith Farm, RI, home......I saw the black phone from which she’d receive Jack’s calls, that stairway.....and, at the time of our tour , in maybe the eighties?, her Mother, Janet, was living in the lighthouse on that property.....
I’ve been so fascinated by that fact.....and so wished I could see that from the inside.....she must have Loved the sea so much she could not leave her lovely view.....
I love the way she said her dogs eat reporters!
From IMDB:
Release Date: October 14, 1981 - Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy: Directed by Steve Gethers. With Jaclyn Smith, James Franciscus, Rod Taylor, Stephen Elliott. Biography focusing on the former First Lady's years in D.C., from working as a newspaper's "Inquiring Camera Girl" to meeting and being
Thanks
Jackie Kennedy was The Most beautiful First Lady Our Country has ever had she once said about raising children "If you fail with your Children anything else you do in life really won't matter" and I believe she was right. This awesome woman lived through more in her short life and stood strong than most people ever imagined She seen her husband Father of her children Murdered. right beside her She lived through her Brother in law's Murder She had Class like we have never seen in a First Lady before or since.....Jaclyn Smith did an awesome Job Thank You for Remembering a wonderful First Lady....
No she was not pretty but elegant in my opinion this movie is bad having jacquline smith play a 14 year old
Sorry, but my vote is for Melania Trump. Beautiful, intelligent and speaks 7 languages.
I believe the number of languages she falsely claims to speak is five.
Everyone in the world knows where they were, when they heard the news.
Everyone of a certain age!
I was in fourth grade.
Thanks for the upload. I understand about the couple of gaps because of music copyright. I thought It was acted well and enjoyed it. ❤😊
I LOVE THE CAMERLOT ERA
Were you alive during it?
GOOD MOVIE, INTERESTING STORY, THANK YOU.
This movie is so Dynasty. I almost expect to see Blake and Krystle walking towards the limo followed by Fallon and Joseph!🙄
🤣
Exactly! Television styles changed very abruptly back then. Soap opera format bit big and heavy right at the beginning of the decade. Even some of the later Charlie's Angels episodes seemed like TV movie dramas.
Seriously? You cut the sound before the wedding ceremony, then again the last 2 minutes of the film? You should have blocked comments / then I would have known to not bother!
ROD TAYLOR FROM THE "BIRDS". GREAT CHOICE TO CAST HIM AS............... JACK "BLACKJACK" BOUVIER👍. JAMES
FRANCISCUS STARRED IN A SHOW, "THE "STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO". HE ALSO
PORTRAYED A BLIND DETECTIVE IN A SHOW NAMED, "LONGSTREET". 😇🎤.
She was like 13 when her mom remarried. Why do they have this grown woman playing a young child?
I love this kind of biography movies 🎬 I hope to see Grace Kelly from Cheryl Ladd in 80's I never seen again. Thanks for post Jackie Kennedy is lovely.❤❤❤
@@bernardagutierrezfica3109 I am surprised there is not a streaming channel for all this stuff. All those mini series could be on it too.
@@bernardagutierrezfica3109your comment was so positive and delightful - maybe also bc it was right after a negative one...Thank You ! I always loved and admired Jackie, since my parents hung their photo in our “entrance room” in the sixties.....I watch this to see if I can glean any additional facts about this woman I’ve loved to admire ! Like, how she only used to use Tiffany Blue Letterhead, loved to perpetuate The Art if the hand-written note, so many lovely and clever things.....she wore her clothes as well as Melania does, always with dignity and Grace.....one of these tell-all movies even depicted when she ‘held court’ while visiting England, as a guest of The Queen.....after a dinner, at The Palace, or mansion, she hung around making and laughing at jokes made by her male admires.....about The Queen ! Liquor may have added to her total Lapse of Judgement, nine of us are perfect, but this so disappointed me ! My Fault, bc I Enjoyed my pedestal I put her on.....not fair to any human for me to do...I just cannot help myself sometimes.....and...alas.....they all fall down.
Exactly, I love Jacqueline Smith but they could have had a teenager play her as a 13 yr old, as if there aren't any teenagers left in the country to hire...🙄 were they trying to save money for 1 person ?!
Good idea.
There is a Kennedy channel..David von pein, I think.
I remember that day so Cleary my Nan came in crying awful I was ten but it stayed with me
RIP our dear Lady.
Her family pronounced her name in the French fashion, JackLEEN.
JACQUELINE IS FRENCH NAME !
Ethel said Jacleen rhymes with queen.
Yes! I know Jacqueline is a French name. They were from French stock!
That sure is an abrupt jump from Miss Porter's School to the newspaper photographer gig... And her haircut at that point is purely a 1980's 'do... her makeup in the 1950's scenes is purely 1980's as well. One day maybe we will get a rigorously correct telling of this tale... with every detail of the scenes period true.
Jackie's appearance during Miss Porter's scenes looks like she was about to hit Studio 54
@@SwimmerPrince💃🏻 ✌🏻😹
Well, when one is under the tutelage of Miss Porter, one is ready for just about anything. Whether it be a newspaper gig in DC or a night at Studio 54 with a 1980's hairstyle! 🤣
Hugh Achincloss didn't look as good as this guy. He looked a lot worse!😐
Probably never. The myth is more important than the truth.
Jacquline Kennedy was an intelligent classy lady but I wish ppl would be realistic, just because they admired her hardwork n personality does not mean she was beautiful, she was NOT beautiful nor was she ugly, she simply knew how to dress because she had taste, that had nothing to do with her features. We are all entitled to our own opinion incase someone attacks me for my words.
Meanwhile no matter what Jacqueline's mother thought of her ex husband she had no right insisting the step father walk her down the aisle on her wedding day, that was a heartless demand to make.
Beauty is completely subjective, everything you described/listed is exactly the substance, core and joi de vie that so many people quantify to assess beauty/what is beautiful, I'm concerned that you may be a tremendously shallow, superficial, tedious really, person.....well it does take all kinds, that's the political answer
@bethewalt7385 🤣🤣🤣 I worry that YOU are a shallow person because you can't handle the truth, Jacqueline Kennedy had many wonderful qualities as I stated but NO she was no beauty physically (FACE), her figure was wonderful, her beauty came within, there are MANY attractive women around the world...quite sad how yr mind works...for instance Halle Berry has natural beauty, so did Sophia Loren, Grace Kelly and Jacklyn Smith herself, ppl do not need to be physically attractive to be loved and called beautiful but you wouldn't know that because you clearly don't have the intelligence to see the truth n chose to disrespect someone online who see it like it is...take care of yrself n see things for what they are...how rude of you to call someone shallow because they speak the truth, what a rude individual you are !
@@bethewalt7385 I was going to say something similar. Thank you.
@@shirleyminassian1547 "Truth" you say? How do YOU know that's the "truth" that Jacqueline was not beautiful? That is one person's opinion, and very presumptuous of you to attempt to invoke your opinion on others. I happened to think she WAS indeed beautiful, no matter what you think.
@fadedrose9 I was looking at her physical look in her face n NO, she was NOT beautiful, there are many more beautiful women whether you like it or not, I have eyes and can see what is on TV and anywhere else advertised, there is no need for you to be nasty and at NO POINT did I invoke my opinion on anyone else, you two bullies did !!! I simply shared what I saw like millions of other ppl, we don't have to agree, YOU and the other person did, I'm just as much entitled to do so just as you feel you are !!!! I was told I was SHALLOW for my opinion, THAT is why I replied to that person, now that the both of you are bullies online, attacking someone of their opinion, I suggest you STOP with your behaviour and get off social media just because I don't agree with both you, SHAME ON YOU to call me what you two are doing !! ....get a life, get over yourselves and accept other ppls opinions in a public domain or GET OFF IT, that's how small minded you are that you can't even see it, clearly your bored with your life, my opinion of Jacqueline Kennedy " IS " the truth whether you like it or not, I wouldn't be surprised if you have some kind of monetary gain from her estate if yr so obsessed about sucking up to her.
Janet was such a snob and vicious, she deliberately wanted to get her ex drunk so he could,'t walk Jackie down the sisle.
She was so beautiful 🤩 made a beautiful bride 👰♂️ and jacket who’s playing her looks like her
No she wasn't beautiful at all
Looks nothing like her.
@@katrinamoore3520 Jacquiline Smith, ala Charlie's Angels, was/is an amazing beauty. Jackie O was a handsome woman and a good fashion plate, but no raving beauty
@@lisawentworth6831 What are your thoughts about her late son JFK, Jr.'s looks?🤔
@@lisawentworth6831her eyes were too far apart.
However she was classy, discreet, and well educated.
She was no angel by no means. While her husband had a very active extracurricular activities, so did she.
I'd rather be poor & be with my family, than rich with no family:
What a horrible life: Jackie got to pay to have a family....... called expensive school fees:
What a loss !!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢
Jack Bouvier was her father, so Bouvier was her maiden name. Onassis was her second husband's name. You obviously don't know history!
Wow just skipped over all the bad stuff
A lady i know said her parents church called a meeting to discuss if they were going to vote an Irish Catholic into office I was shocked but it was a different time i guess
@MarvinaBigby. I'm Irish Catholic and I can confirm that the prejudice towards us is alive and kicking.
There was a good reason. Catholics are loyal to the pope first. The United states second
when women had class! Now pregnant women showing their belly, ugh!
That was then, This is now, Ooh!
Rack off back to 1950s, sexist.
Interesante la vida de estos personajes. Ella siempre fue una gran dama, clasica y muy elegante
She did a good job in this role----she is not a great actress but did fine.
She was really something. All she really wanted was to be a wife and mother.
I guess that's why she married a multi millionaire adulterous son of a bootlegger and a billionaire who owned his own island!
The facts say otherwise
Well......a very rich one ! No one ever could have a negative thing to say about her mothering......she was one of the best.....even with all the nannies.....and, to think, she was so “prophetic” in insisting her beloved beautiful son Not learn to nor fly.....she saw how the plane crash that forever crushed her husband when it killed his son.....of he had only heeded her words....even after her passing....he’d still be Here, with us, to photograph and admire.....he was the enchanting product, as is his sister, a real manifestation of their Camelot...
.she was so poetic as she described their love story as in Camelot....and how he’d listen to that exact song Everynight....and her poetic mind lives on in their Legacy.......so memorable.....so sad.....and so beautiful.....
THIS WAS THE WORST MOVE I'VE EVER WATCHED OF THE KENNEDY s EVER
Saludos desde Venezuela 🇻🇪✌️ nuevo seguidor
Great movie and there is a truth about what happened to Jack, only it will forever be shrouded. One beautiful day in Nov 1963
I have to honestly ask the filmmakers (costume department) how one could get Jacqueline's wedding dress so horribly wrong! It looks not even remotely similar. Also the veil and headpiece are completely wrong. Offputting, to say the least.
Exactly!
Your comments are impenetrable.
Cj James Franciscus played a good jfk in both movies
