She is the social queen of American high society, and from the youngest first lady in the White House to the wife of the greek ship king, the world's richest man, Jacqueline has walked the most unusual path for a woman.
She has always known what she wants, whether it is the power or money of men, or the scenery or stability of women, she has a calm plan and vision, and she has the ability to cope with all changes, she has always lived for her dreams, and she can get the life she wants!
Jacqueline was born on 28 July 1929 in an English manor house in the village of Southampton, the father of John Bouvier, nicknamed Black Jack, and the mother Ofet Lee, who was beautiful and slender, and she was their eldest daughter.
Jacqueline's parents are a good match, which can be regarded as a door-to-door pair, but there is an essential difference in personality between the two. Black Jack is mercurial, bohemian, often in and out of all kinds of bright and green banquets, spending lavishly, and where is the income of a broker in a securities company, where is his squandering. And Janet is a typical American high-society showgirl, well educated, somewhat rigorous and old-fashioned. When the discord between the two after marriage was exposed, the quarrel became a matter of eternal rest.
Jacqueline grew up in the smoke of family wars, and in general, children who grow up in discordant families usually have very precocious personalities, and Jacqueline is the same, whenever her parents quarrel, she will be angry with her mother. The quarrelsome adults ignored their daughter's feelings, unaware that a moody and contradictory character had crept into the little girl's sensitive nerves.
Jacqueline had a lot of personality in elementary school, and whenever she finished her homework, she liked to encourage her classmates to play together, and she was a headache for both the teacher and the principal. But her father loved her, regarded her as a treasure in his heart, and often took her to ride a horse, and she looked heroic in a small knight's outfit.
When the parents are separated and divorced, Jacqueline and her father's feelings are still very close, she will date her father every week, this time Black Jack will abandon all women's style, only concentrate on being with her daughter, no woman can be more important than Jacqueline in his life, and in the eyes of her daughter, her father will always be so personable and charming.
Jacqueline lived with her mother and stepfather, a rich man of notoriety. The mother's choice is a good interpretation of the vanity of many women, but it also invisibly sows the seeds of worldliness and glitz in the daughter's brain, as if telling the daughter that if she wants to marry, she must marry a rich man.
After entering high school, Jacqueline became more bold and rebellious, often challenging traditions and violating school rules. She smoked in her dorm room, brushed her strange hairstyles on campus, and when everyone else was wearing the same popular clothes, she would do the opposite, determined not to keep the same style as others. Although many people questioned her behavior, they had to admire her results because she almost always got a full score.
Jacqueline as a teenager already had her own ideas and goals for the future, at least she knew what she was not willing to do, such as she wrote "inappropriate housewife" in the "Future Volunteers" column of the graduate questionnaire, which is what she asks of her life.
In 1947, Jacqueline, arranged by her stepfather, attended her 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony. At the social banquet, she wore a snow-white tulle dress with the neckline open to the shoulders, revealing a graceful and slender neck, and her graceful posture was set off by the costume just right. She graciously took her stepfather's arm and smiled demurely at the door to every social celebrity, very good manners.
Jacqueline received a basic etiquette education brought by a high-society family from an early age, as well as the study of ballet, painting and other arts, and studied in France, proficient in French, Spanish and Italian, she was also influenced by Hepburn, Givenchy, Chanel and other noble figures and their styles, forming an innate quality of elegance. Such an excellent girl entering the social world only needs to overcome the initial shyness to cope with it freely.
Sure enough, the beautiful and noble Jacqueline became the focus of the boy's eyes, and also became the object of envy and envy of the girls. This was Jacqueline's first social answer sheet as an adult, so satisfying that she was named the social queen of the night, perhaps she did not think at the time that a position that was really close to the queen was waiting for her in the near future.
After graduating from college, Jacqueline chose to live in Washington with her mother and stepfather, and through a relationship, she joined the Washington Herald Times newspaper as a reporter.
Later, she met John Hersted at a banquet in Washington, a handsome, tall man who walked majestically toward Jacqueline. He had long heard of the graceful social queen, and certainly would not miss such a good opportunity to get acquainted.
He asked her to dance, and his strong arms wrapped around her waist, giving her a sense of security she had never felt before. They talked easily, and his eloquence and humor often amused her. This auspicious relationship is pleasant, and the girlish feelings that have just opened up in her love sinuses are filled with the richness of a man. When Hersted embarks on a frantic quest for Jacqueline, she surrenders willingly, and together they fall into the sweetness of love.
After two months of passionate love, Hessted proposed to Jacqueline, and it is undeniable that Muqueline was fascinated by Hestide at the time, and she decided to marry him and held an engagement ceremony first. But after the engagement, Jacqueline's emotions cooled down, and she enthusiastically threw herself into work, except for spending weekends together, she didn't think about how to talk about love most of the time, as if the engagement ceremony was not announcing that she had a master.
Jacqueline's fiancé tolerated her estrangement and willfulness, and in the longing to determine her marriage date again and again, she could only get disappointing delays. Jacqueline's mother was surprised when she learned that Hersted's annual salary for a bank job was only $17,000. She told her daughter about this discovery, and Je Je jellyn was also disappointed, she wanted a man who should meet all the qualities she demanded, only kindness and integrity and personable were not enough.
Subsequently, 23-year-old Jacqueline offered to dissolve her marriage with Hestide. From meeting and falling in love to getting engaged, the love process between the two people is so hurried, Hersted seems to have a sweet and wonderful dream, making him feel trance and unreal. Still, he has always loved Jacqueline deeply, including the moment she became the first lady of the United States.
Jacqueline soon became acquainted with a man who was very flattering to women, who was obsessed with him, whose smile and demeanor attracted her, and whose conversation never bored, and who had a domineering power over women that made women want to throw themselves into his arms.
This charismatic man was John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States of America.
Of course, Kennedy was not yet president when he met Jacqueline, but only a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives and was preparing to run for the state's Senate. Kennedy's family background was enough to give him a good upbringing and personable temperament. Similarly, Jacqueline's beauty in particular made a good impression on Kennedy, who had a great liking for the young and intelligent woman.
But despite this, they did not immediately start too close contact, Kennedy was busy with the campaign, Jacqueline was doing her own journalist work, there seemed to be some concern in the feelings, but also a little indifferent.
Although a good man can be met but not sought, love is also an urgent thing, and these Jacquelines are very clear in their hearts. For someone like Kennedy with a political background and family tradition, she can't be too hasty and frivolous, so she's not in a hurry to seduce him quickly.
Jacqueline was truly good and always used her talents to help Kennedy in her work. For example, she took the time to help Kennedy research and write a Senate report on Southeast Asia, or to run errands for some of his other political affairs. She accompanied him to the party and became his best social partner.
Although Jacqueline didn't like Westerns and thrillers, when she learned that these were Kennedy's hobbies, she willingly watched them and showed interest. Jacqueline seemed to be doing these things without any hesitation, and only she knew in her own heart that she loved this man very much, thinking
Get him, and hope to dream a better future with him, she will use some means to approach her goals.
Kennedy can be said to be familiar with such a thing as interacting with women, but it is the first time he has met such a special woman. Unlike the women who had climbed into his bed, she did not have the sexiness of her fat buttocks, nor the charm of scratching her head, she was dignified, wise, and radiant, and such a beauty was not as simple as making a man reverie go to bed, but illuminating a sky.
Kennedy needed exactly that kind of sky too much, to be precise, to fit his image as a lady in the political world. The Kennedy family's goal is to strive for the greatest political power, and they will use the strongest cohesion and explosive force to launch a representative to realize the family's ideals. John F. Kennedy was undoubtedly that representative, and his father made no secret of his desire for his dreams, ambitiously wanting to put his son on the throne of the President of the United States.
Jacqueline rightfully became the best candidate for the president's wife, and her overall strength became the best person to enter
An important weight for the Kennedy family. Not sure if such a choice would be happy or unfortunate for Jacqueline. She enjoyed the privileges, money, and scenery that a woman had longed for all her life, but in terms of her own personality and hobbies, she did not like to deal too much with politics. Nor do I like to spend all day between the interplay of senior officials. This includes not liking being stared at by reporters all day to take photos and interviews.
But at that time, all this she didn't like was invincible to the ideal husband image she had always established in her mind, and she made this image a reality.
Jacqueline became Mrs. Kennedy, and they decided to have the wedding on September 12, 1953, when Kennedy was 36 and Jacqueline was 24, and the warmth and grandeur of the wedding was breathtaking, with many politicians appearing at the wedding banquet, causing one of the worst traffic jams in the city's history when more than 13,000 guests left.
After marriage, Jacqueline not only fulfilled her duties as a wife, but also remained a supporter and partner in Kennedy's work. She helped Kennedy write The Brave, painstakingly collecting materials and organizing materials, even in the final publication and distribution. Kennedy was full of gratitude and admiration for what his wife had done, and was also happy and proud to have such a virtuous helper.
Helplessly, he has a problem but can't change it, that is, the wind flow. Kennedy inherited his father's lustful genes and began to conquer women of all colors from a young age, who were willing to sleep with him and play out their affairs with him in full swing. After marriage, Kennedy did not give up the pursuit of other women and fresh sexual desires because he had a good and lovely wife. His extramarital life is rich and colorful, which makes Jacqueline headache, anger, but helpless.
Fortunately, Jacqueline can deal with such things calmly, she has known since she was a child that she has a charming father, and his father has told her that men are despicable people, don't trust them easily. So Jacqueline used her extraordinary demeanor and endurance to coldly watch Kennedy's flower world.
Although Kennedy likes to linger in the gentle countryside of women, chasing women has always been his hobby, he has not missed the right career because of lust, and the political road is still down-to-earth. In 1960, with the joint efforts of the large and energetic Kennedy family, John F. Kennedy was finally elected the 35th president of the United States, and all the efforts Jacqueline did for her husband could make her a veritable first lady of the White House.
This year, Jacqueline was just 31 years old, she already had a beautiful daughter, and just gave birth to a lovely son, all this is too complete, Kennedy with his wife and son to the White House, Jacqueline naturally became a rare in the history of the White House that combines youth, beauty, fashion, and intelligence.
Jacqueline is also very happy that she can stand on the most noble and shining stage, but sometimes she does not feel real happiness, when she married Kennedy, it means that she married politics all her life, and now that Kennedy is elected president, it probably means that she needs to lose herself, because her first element is to represent the image of a country.
Jacqueline has brought youthful vitality and fashion to the White House, and one of the grandest projects she has done is to renovate the White House and make it appear in front of people with a new look. No first lady in American history has kilned jeans and a pullover sweater and burrowed into a dusty basement to look for treasures she considered artistically valuable. It was through a search of 54 rooms and 16 bathrooms that many of the artworks were brought to life and became a highlight of the White House.
Jacqueline also relied on her personal charm to get a lot of valuable works of art from the upper nobility and social celebrities, or persuaded them to give them away, or buy them at a low price, in short, she finally got what she wanted, and she had the potential to create a museum in the White House. She invited the director of the National Gallery of Art, as well as famous designers and architects, and set up a research group to vigorously carry out the renovation project. After the renovation, she produced a White House Guide, the first manual to introduce the White House, which provided convenience and increased income for visitors. According to later statistics, this income even exceeded the entire amount of money used in the White House's restoration plan.
The White House, which was rebuilt by Jacqueline, became a temple of art and a high-end royal palace, and it welcomed many important people, including heads of state, political celebrities, writers, artists and so on. This stroke of the president's wife has created an eternal classic in the history of the White House and left an immortal legacy for future generations.
Jacqueline accompanied Kennedy on a visit to Canada, and her "language of dress" was a huge success, and their trip to France became Jacqueline's "fashion show", fluent in French and insight into French art and clothing, etc., making her truly win the love of the French people. Even Kennedy said self-deprecatingly, "You see, I'm the man who stayed with Jacqueline." ”
The real Jacqueline is not keen on political diplomacy, but she can be so comfortable and radiant in diplomatic occasions, which can only be said that her personal cultivation has given her such potential. It's another thing not to like it, but you can do it if you want to.
Even if she had just finished a fight with her husband, she was able to appear in front of outsiders in ten minutes without any abnormality on her smiling face. Jacqueline's multifaceted talents not only impressed Kennedy, but also made him more fascinated, in fact, she was his most valuable political wealth.
There are too many people in the United States who like Jacqueline, and people pay attention to her like an idol, imitate her dressing style, and let her fashion lead their own fashion.
Marilyn Monroe is not only a sexy baby in Hollywood, but also one of the president's many lovers, Kennedy plays with her body, but Monroe has a real affection for Kennedy, naively fantasizing that one day she can replace Jacqueline as the first lady. She even called Jacqueline to say how much Kennedy loved her and asked her to give up her position as first lady.
Monroe
We don't know how angry Jacqueline was, but she acted extremely calmly and calmly told Monroe, "I can divorce him, but if you get married, you will live in the White House, and if you are not ready to move into the White House, then I can forget what you just said." ”
By implication, is the White House so good? Was it one of Kennedy's mistresses who could get in if she wanted to? When Monroe sang for President Kennedy's birthday celebration with an absolutely sexy baby image, Jacqueline was taking a pair of her children on a beach vacation, and her leisureliness and coziness had a kind of style that belonged to a real noble lady.
Monroe was obsessed, and finally her heart was exhausted, and the incense disappeared. President Kennedy, whom she was obsessed with, did not publicly express her death, but instead the president's wife, Jacqueline, gave her lover a fair evaluation and a tolerant praise. Jacqueline said: "She will be an eternal legend. ”
Jacqueline's composure is one of her most valuable qualities, especially in times of disaster, when her dependence falls, courage is even more important.
The Kennedy assassination was so sudden that a trip to Texas in 1963 became a never-ending pain in Jacqueline's life.
On that day, she and Kennedy sat together in the car to be welcomed by the people on both sides, which was originally a very warm and festive scene, but the car had just turned to a sparsely populated place, but an accident occurred. When the gunshots rang out, Jacqueline's brain went blank for a few seconds, and then she saw that her husband next to her had collapsed in a pool of blood. It was then that Jacqueline truly realized that her husband had been killed. She screamed uncontrollably, thinking she was dreaming, and would wake up after screaming.
Kennedy did die, and Jacqueline, who was only 34 years old, became the president's widow. We can't deny the politics and contradictions in their marriage, but she truly loves him, not only cares about the great light of this man, but also cares about the ten years of youth and joy that have walked hand in hand with him.
After handling the new president's swearing-in ceremony and her husband's funeral, she realized it was time to say goodbye to the White House.
While Americans were immersed in the grief of losing their president, no one noticed that Aristotle Onassis, the Greek ship king known as the world's richest man, was watching all this with his eagle-sharp eyes, and he saw not only the death of a president, but also the fall of a woman from heaven to hell, and Jacqueline's sadness and calmness had been fully absorbed by him.
It wasn't the first time the King of ships had met Jacqueline, they had met long before President Kennedy was killed on the King's luxury yacht. Jacqueline was with her friends at the time, and they didn't have much contact, but this noble woman did impress Onassis.
At this point, Onassis almost impatiently extended an invitation to Jacqueline to visit Greece for a break. How could ice-smart Jacqueline not understand a man's intentions? She had hesitated to say yes.
Time passes in sorrow, she can always find Kennedy's shadow in this familiar city, and she is always the focus of attention here, and those who are kind or good are always disturbing her life. At this point she understood one thing, people should actively get rid of pain, rather than passively waiting for the years to dilute. It's time for her to shake off the shadow of this sadness, and at the same time not to let the children grow up in such an atmosphere all the time.
Jacqueline needs a stable life, a world far from the land of sadness, and these are not at all what the Kennedy family can give her in a sad atmosphere, so she resolutely makes another major decision in her life, to the invitation of the ship king, and then she agrees to marry the ship king who has always coveted her.
People all over the world were suspicious that Jacqueline had taken a fancy to the fortune of the Ship King, and even suspected that her first one was also for the purpose of the transaction. Jacqueline ignored such remarks, she had always known what she wanted.
Once upon a time, Kennedy met all the requirements of the Prince Charming of her dreams, status was a superficial thing, and love was indeed real. Now, the ship king is in line with her desire to escape from reality, money is an additional thing, but the mood is more peaceful than ever.
The beautiful and elegant Jacqueline spins around the diminutive, ugly-looking, and aged king of the ship, and it doesn't matter if it's harmonious or not, when the charming Aegean Sea tiles the sparkling world before her eyes, when the luxurious "Christina" realizes her childhood dream, the sadness will always be less, and the mood will always be broader.
In 1975, Jacqueline sent away her second husband, the Greek ship king, who left a billion in assets, but the first heir was his daughter. The reluctant stepmother's daughter gave Jacqueline $26 million, and the two have nothing to do with each other ever since.
With this huge sum of money, Jacqueline chose to return to the United States, while opening up her own obvious sense of introspection, determined to restore a new self and live another longed-for life. In her youthful years, she and Kennedy received glory together; in the middle age of the charm, she enjoyed wealth with the king of the ship. At this time she was neither the first lady nor the wife of the rich, she was just Jacqueline, and she was going to do what she liked to do, like renovating the White House, to find pleasure and value in the work.
She entered the publishing industry, worked as an editor in a publishing house, and wrote her favorite good books with pictures and texts, such as "Space Step" and "Russian Style", and she used her achievements to prove to people that as long as she wanted to do it, no matter what line of work, she could do a good job.
When the prosperity fell into the clouds, Jacqueline returned to the essence of life. She no longer chases status, fame, money, men with deep pockets are no longer in her sight, and her lover in her later years is her peer Maurice Tampalsman, her financial adviser. They read books together, travel, listen to operas, admire paintings, or go out into nature to find the joys of life. In her later years, she really did it indifferently.
In 1994, Jacqueline died in peace, her children and grandchildren sent her off, and all those who paid attention to her wished her all the best. She and Kennedy were buried together, and although their marriage was short, they were able to accompany each other after death, which was also a regret to make up for it.
A woman left the world, but there are many women who envy her life, perhaps people see her more gorgeous, but can not think of her sadness. I remembered her beauty and grace more, but forgot her intelligence.
Many people have praised her, and many people have scolded her, we can't measure an unusual woman with ordinary people's eyes, because the life of dreams has always been in her hands, and the world has been in her hands.
