Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Michelle Obama wore two dresses that day by underdog designers- A yellow, crystal ballgown designed by 26-yr-old, Taiwanese born Jason Wu And a yellow flowery coat and dress ensemble designed by Isabel Toledo. The dress is in the style and spirit of Jackie Kennedy and was paired with Glacier pumps by Jimmy Choo and a matching yellow scarf.

Jacqueline Bouvier's claim to importance came from her support of the health of horses, receiving awards at a young age from the ASPCA for her care and concern for the well-being of horses, including her opposition to vivisection. Most of the important things Jacqueline Bouvier would do will occur later in life, during and after her subsequent marriages to John F. Kennedy and Aristotle Onassis.

As I've heard the news accounts, I don't understand where and when he could possibly been embalmed, other than at home - and given the amount of equipment that would take, I don't seriously think that happened either. So maybe the better question would be whether individuals have to be embalmed in the State of Massachusetts. Now, we must realize that he was to be buried out of state, so I don't know how that affects the decision whether to embalm or not. In Louisiana I think the law is that a body must be embalmed unless the burial takes place within 24 hours of the death. Senator Kennedy's body will NOT be buried within 24 hours, but he did not die nor will he be buried in Louisiana. I would like to know more, though.

Yes, and she was often photographed with (barrel-extension) cigarette holders. Jackie began smoking at an early age. She once told her sister Lee that smoking could help her keep a slim figure. It would appear she had a What-Me-Worry attitude about the hazards of smoking. Despite being a chain-smoker, she did not take any major effort to curtail this habit, until shortly after the diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in a check up in January of 1994. Her daughter Caroline convinced her to quit smoking at that time. The habit may have contributed to her death, but lymphoma is not strictly speaking a form of lung cancer.

No, the pink suit that Jackie Kennedy wore the day her husband was assassinated right next to her was not a Chanel suit. It was a Chez Ninon suit copied from Chanel. The suit was a double breasted raspberry pink jacket with a matching skirt and pillbox hat, with golden buttons, white gloves, and navy trim and interior.

Her China was Derby; don't know about her silver settings.

They were married on September 12, 1953, at St. Mary's Church in Newport, Rhode Island. The mass was celebrated by Archbishop Richard J. Cushing of Boston, a close friend of the Kennedy family. Ten years later, as Cardinal Cushing, he presided over President Kennedy's funeral mass at St. Matthew's Cathedral in Washington.

Jackie Kennedy achieved her goals quietly and privately. One of her main goals was to raise her children so they were not spoiled by the wealth and fame of the Kennedy family, at a time when many Americans and citizens wanted more pictures and access to them. She did so by devoting much of her time to keep the children away from the public spotlight when she was in the White House, and by watching over her children so they did not engage in the kind of boisterous behavior that came along with the Shriver kids and Bobby Kennedy's kids. She used her wit and cool judgement quietly to influence others to contribute to her efforts to restore the White House, and help the prestige of her husband's administration. She chose to be independent and decided what she wanted to wear, paint, and read. Many of her goals were achieved simply because she was adamant about achieving them. Another example of a goal she made was that her desire to create a guidebook for tours of the recently restored White House. But her husband decided that creating a White House guidebook for tourists was a bad idea. He felt it would look bad for the administration, since the Kennedys were so very wealthy, yet appear to be publicly cheap. So she told him her committee was in so much debt that they needed to make them and charge money for them. She knew that the whole restoration was privately funded, reminding the President that not many wealthy people would necessarily be generous enough to help pay for this, but young and eager tourists would. This was not necessarily the truth, but the guidebooks tourists have when they explore the White House today exist because of this goal made by Jackie Kennedy.

John F. Kennedy served as the 35th President of the United States from January 20, 1961 until his assignation in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. Prior to his inauguration as President, he served as the U.S. Senator from Massachusetts January 3, 1953 - December 22, 1960.

She preferred being a mother to being a wife.

Her marriage to JFK was not the love-match it looked like. JFK's father had strong ambitions for his son to get to the White House, and virtually ordered him to marry this highly suitable candidate for First Lady.

She was privately disgusted by her husband's endless womanising, and even though she appears to have been rather under-sexed, she would occasionally take a lover, just to restore her self-respect. (The White House had to do deals with the press, to stop them making too many enquiries into her periodic absences.)

Her secondmarriage, to Onassis, was very much a marriage of convenience. She was in shock after the assassination of Bobby Kennedy, and wanted to live away from America. She also wanted the trappings of great wealth, often a sign of private dissatisfaction.The two were seldom seentogether, and he was planning to divorce her at the time of his death.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy was 36 years old when he marries Jacqueline Bouvier. He was born on May 29th, 1917, and celebrated his 36th Birthday in 1953. He marries Jacqueline in Newport, Rhode about three and half months later, on September 12th.

Because many Americans wanted her to be important, even though she did not seek out such recognition. She was important because many American women wanted to be in her place, and accordingly made everything she did an important part of their lives as Americans. She set fashion trends and interests in child rearing, French culture, restoring the White House, and positive press for the Kennedy administration. She then became the most important public guardian of her husband's political legacy after his assassination and funeral in 1963.

Rose Fitzgerald's occupation can be sumed up in one word-nothing. Her father was the mayor of Boston and her husband was also very weathly and came from a wealthy family. She never needed to work a day in her life.
