The Personal Papers of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (1929-1994)
Biographical Note
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was born Jacqueline Lee Bouvier on July 28, 1929, in Southampton,
New York to John Vernou Bouvier III, a Wall Street stockbroker and his wife Janet Norton Lee. In
1933 Mrs. Kennedy’s sister Caroline “Lee” Bouvier was born. Their primary residences during
these years were in New York City and East Hampton, New York. Mrs. Kennedy’s parents
divorced in 1940, and in 1942 her mother Janet married Hugh D. Auchincloss the heir of Standard
Oil, with whom she had two children, Janet and James. In addition to half siblings, the marriage
also brought Mrs. Kennedy two stepbrothers Hugh Jr. (Yusha) and Tommy, as well as a stepsister
Nina. After the divorce of her parents Mrs. Kennedy and her sister Lee resided in New York with
their father, or McLean, Virginia and Newport, Rhode Island with their mother.
Mrs. Kennedy spent her early school years in New York City, first at Miss Yates’s preschool before
attending Miss Chapin’s School on East End Avenue. In 1942 she enrolled at Holton-Arms School,
in Bethesda, Maryland, before attending Miss Porter’s School in Farmington, Connecticut in 1944
until 1947. Upon graduation, she attended Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York, spent her
junior year studying in France, first at the University of Grenoble and then at the Sorbonne. Upon
her return she transferred to George Washington University in Washington D.C. to finish up her
senior year of college, graduating in 1951 with a bachelor’s degree in French Literature. After
graduation Mrs. Kennedy and her sister Lee spent the summer touring Europe, from which they
published the book One Special Summer.
Upon her return to the United States in 1952, the Washington Times-Herald hired Mrs. Kennedy as
their “Inquiring Camera Girl” and she produced a column which including photographs of people
interviewed on a variety of subjects. It was during this time that she was briefly engaged in
December 1951 for three months to John Husted, a stock broker. Mrs. Kennedy first met Senator
John F. Kennedy at a dinner party thrown by a mutual friend Charles Bartlett. They began dating,
and their engagement was announced on June 25, 1953. The couple was married by Boston's
Archbishop Richard Cushing at St. Mary’s Church in Newport, Rhode Island on September 12th
1953, and they honeymooned in Acapulco, Mexico. Upon their return they moved to Hickory Hill
in McLean, Virginia for four years before selling it to John F. Kennedy’s brother Robert and wife
Ethel, and subsequently moving to N Street in Georgetown. During this time Mrs. Kennedy
suffered a miscarriage in 1955 and gave birth to a stillborn daughter, Arabella Kennedy, on August
23, 1956. In the year that followed Jacqueline gave birth to a daughter Caroline Bouvier Kennedy
on November 27, 1957.
In January 1960, Senator John F. Kennedy announced his candidacy for the presidency of the
United States. Mrs. Kennedy, pregnant and advised by doctors to remain at home, was still an
active campaigner. She answered letters, taped commercials, gave interviews, and wrote a weekly
nationally distributed newspaper column, “Campaign Wife.” On November 8, 1960, John F.
Kennedy won the presidential election and on November 25, Mrs. Kennedy gave birth to their
second child, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Jr.
On January 20, 1961, at the age of 31, Jacqueline Kennedy became the First Lady of the United
States of America. In this role she was responsible for the planning and execution of social events at
[5]
the White House such as state dinners, diplomatic receptions, and in this capacity promoted the arts
by inviting artists, writers, scientists, poets, and musicians to mingle with politicians, diplomats, and
statesmen.
Mrs. Kennedy’s first major project as First Lady was the restoration of the White House. She
enlisted the aid of many experts, established a White House Fine Arts Committee, and created the
post of White House curator. Gathering outstanding examples of American art and furniture from
around the United States including many historic items that had belonged to former presidents and
their families, she eventually restored all the public rooms in the White House. Mrs. Kennedy was
also instrumental in the publication of the White House Guidebook, sales from which further funded
restoration work, and helped pass Congressional legislation to have White House furnishings belong
to the Smithsonian Institution and therefore treated as museum items that could not be removed
from the residence by departing staff. CBS Television asked Mrs. Kennedy to present a televised
tour of the newly restored White House, and on February 14, 1962 eighty million Americans
watched the broadcast, and it earned her an honorary Emmy Award.
As First Lady, Mrs. Kennedy traveled extensively in both public and private spheres. She was
known for a keen interest in other cultures and an ability to speak several foreign languages,
including French, Spanish, and Italian. Mrs. Kennedy traveled with the President, representing the
United States abroad most notably in Canada, France, Vienna, and Greece and Mexico. Upon the
invitation of the U.S. Ambassador to India John Kenneth Galbraith, Mrs. Kennedy and her sister
Lee traveled to India and Pakistan, a trip that was widely covered by the press.
On August 7, 1963, Mrs. Kennedy gave birth to their third child, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy at Otis
Air Force Base, five and a half weeks prematurely. He suffered from hyaline membrane disease
(now known as respiratory distress syndrome) and was rushed to the Children's Hospital in Boston
where he died two days later. In November of that year Mrs. Kennedy accompanied President
Kennedy on an official trip to Texas, and on November 22, 1963, President and Mrs. Kennedy were
in Dallas, Texas when he was assassinated while riding in a motorcade in Dealey Plaza.
Mrs. Kennedy left the White House on December 6, 1963 and temporarily moved into Averell
Harriman’s Georgetown home, before buying her own residence in the same area in 1964. Shortly
afterwards for privacy reasons she moved the family to an apartment on Fifth Avenue in New York
City. In October of 1968, Jacqueline Kennedy married Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis,
and remained his wife until his death seven years later on March 15, 1975. In the same year she
accepted a position as an editor at Viking Press in New York City and later moved to Doubleday as
an associate editor. During this time, Mrs. Kennedy continued working with projects relating to
historic and cultural preservation. She was influential in saving Lafayette Square in Washington
D.C. from demolition and in New York City, she led a campaign to stop the destruction and
renovate Grand Central Station.
Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis died on May 19, 1994 from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and
was laid to rest beside President Kennedy in Arlington National Cemetery.
