Note: Recently wrote more serious subjects, to be honest, read so much information, the mood is still quite heavy, just recently in the history of the space race during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, and then unconsciously turned to the information of John F. Kennedy, and then the divergence of thinking jumped to the information of the first lady of the United States when Kennedy was in power, Jacqueline Kennedy, I don't want to see it together, so I sorted out the information and shared it with everyone.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the path of Jacqueline's First Lady</h1>
Jacqueline Kennedy' original name was Jacqueline Lee Powell, her father was a mixture of French and Irish, and a famous local playboy, perhaps her father's words and deeds more or less influenced Jacqueline, and her chaotic love history is not without roots. In 1933, Jacqueline's sister Caroline was born (it is related to her love history, but it is limited in space and will not be repeated for the time being).

After graduating with an art degree from George Washington University, Jacqueline's first job was for a job as a photojournalist, and her main job was to conduct interviews with people around Washington, D.C., for which she met John F. Kennedy, a rising star in American politics at the time, when Kennedy was a Democratic senator in Massachusetts.
In 1960, Kennedy defeated Nixon to become the 35th president of the United States; the following year, Jacqueline successfully became the third youngest "First Lady" in American history. It is said that during Kennedy's campaign, she was also quite a photojournalist, and even explained the composition of the parliament to the owner of the grocery store.

After Jacqueline became first lady, her first major project was to "restore the White House as it was." When President Dwight Eisenhower, who was preparing to abdicate, toured the White House, she was disappointed by the "antique" fake furniture. She believes that the White House represents the image of the entire United States, so it is necessary to return to its former historical appearance.
So soon after she took office, she set up a special committee to start the work, scouring the streets of antique furniture and historical art, and writing directly to the artists who designed the White House to discuss the issue.
It can be seen from this that Jacqueline is at least a person who pursues "taste". In fact, her achievements in music, art and culture are indeed not low, and she soon became a recognized fashion leader in the hearts of American women, and greatly enhanced the influence of the US president and his wife in the national culture.
Even Khrushchev, the leader of the Soviet Union at the time, said he "admired the usable lady of the United States."

Jacqueline and Kennedy spend Christmas together (1961)
In 1963, Jacqueline's youngest son died unexpectedly of neonatal respiratory syndrome, and Jacqueline was hit hard and almost never reappeared in public. It wasn't until November of that year, when Kennedy asked her to go with him to Texas to build a campaign, that she made a comeback.

However, tragedy soon struck. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas on November 22, 1963, while Jacqueline was sitting in a car next to Kennedy.
Although there are still many doubts about the Kennedy assassination, Jacqueline's performance at that time was quite good — she showed considerable courage: taking the hands of two children to preside over Kennedy's funeral, kneeling in front of the coffin with her daughter in front of the Capitol, walking the hearse from the White House all the way to St. Matthews Church, and finally lighting a torch in front of her husband Kennedy's tomb at Arlington Cemetery.
After the public had finished viewing Kennedy's body, Jacqueline took her children's hands and left the White House
At that time, Jacqueline's performance was unanimously praised by the Western world, and the London Evening News praised it as bringing Americans something they very much lacked--the prestige of the royal family.
For the year that followed, Jacqueline did not appear in public, and her daughter once revealed in a conversation with a teacher at school, "Mom is crying every day, even wanting to die at one point, and insisting on living for the sake of the child." ”

Did Jacqueline really love Kennedy that deeply? The question may not have been known to anyone but herself.

But in a 2009 biography of Jacqueline, A Love Affair, jacqueline was described as a woman full of "passion." According to the book, witnesses have witnessed Jacqueline and her uncle, John F. Kennedy's younger brother, Robert Francis Kennedy, eyebrow-raising.
The year after President Kennedy's assassination, Jacqueline spent Christmas with Robert in Palm Beach and later went on vacation to Antigua, with Robert's wife not traveling with her.
In addition, "A Love Affair" also mentions the emotional entanglement of Jacqueline and the well-known Actor of the Time in the United States, Marlon Brando, who claimed that he had two passionate "one-night stands" with Jacqueline in the year after Kennedy's assassination, and then Jacqueline lost interest in him, and finally Jacqueline chose to end this short relationship, and in 1968 married the Greek ship king Aristotle Onassis, and her name became Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
According to the mainstream, Jacqueline mainly believed that with the assassination of Kennedy, her own and her children's lives were threatened, and the Greek ship king had enough money and power to protect her. For the sake of the marriage, the Greek ship king also left his lover, the opera singer Maria Carlos, and Jacqueline lost the privilege of the American authorities to protect her.

Although the two were married, it is said that jacqueline and Onassis's daughter were not in harmony, so she traveled and shopped for a long time. In 1975, the Greek ship king died, and a divorce agreement was signed before his death, and Jacqueline has since regained her freedom.
Since then, Jacqueline has lived in New York and cohabited with a married diamond merchant. At the same time, she served as editor of Two Days Press and led rallies in the 1980s against the construction of skyscrapers near New York's Central Park.
Jacqueline was diagnosed with lymphoma in 1994 and died on the evening of May 19 of the same year in her apartment on Fifth Avenue at the age of 64. The first half of Jacqueline's life can be described as smooth sailing, the family is well-off, and at the best age, she met John F. Kennedy and became the prominent first lady of the United States.
However, with kennedy's assassination, she seems to have begun to "give up on herself", opening the second half of her chaotic love history until relentless cancer took her life. The Kennedys have a huge influence on American folk culture - it can be said that they ushered in a new era of American fashion culture, so the death of Jacqueline also marked the end of the first era in the United States...
