Camelot at Dawn :
Jacqueline and John Kennedy in May,1954 |
|
Suero Orlando
2001 |
In January
1954, the handsome junior senator from Massachusetts and his glamorous
wife moved into a three-story townhouse at 3321 Dent Place in Georgetown.
Although they would live here for only five months, the house was their
first home after their wedding― the society event of the decade―and a
place from which they could begin to prepare for the next step in their
lives, one that would take John and Jacqueline Kennedy to the White House.
In May of that year, Orlando Suero, a photographer with the Three Lions
Picture Agency on his first major assignment, spent five days with the
Kennedys. He enjoyed their full cooperation and the intimate access that
would later, as Jacqueline became more anxious about her family's privacy,
be denied to all but a few.
In more than twenty photo sessions, Suero documented a typical week in the
young couple's life: Jack at his Senate office, catching up on work at
home, and painting in the back garden; Jackie attending classes at
Georgetown, gardening, and preparing for an evening of dinner and dancing;
and the couple reading the morning papers around the breakfast table,
looking through their wedding photos, hosting both casual and formal
dinner parties, and tossing the football around with neighbors Bobby and
Ethel Kennedy.
Suero's photographs capture the idyllic quality of the young couple's
lives during their months in Georgetown. Not yet hounded by the media,
John and Jacqueline in these images seem happier and more at ease than
they would ever be again. Surprisingly, no magazine ever published Suero's
complete photo essay. McCall's ran a few of his photographs that fall, but
most of them have not been seen until now. In 1989, Three Lions Picture
Agency owner Max Lowenherz donated the photographs to the Johns Hopkins
University's Peabody Institute. For Camelot at Dawn, the Peabody
Institute's Anne Garside has selected nearly one hundred of the most
evocative and affecting pictures Suero took during his week in Georgetown.
This remarkable document of John and Jacqueline Kennedy's first year of
marriage recalls the romance and the promise embodied by their life
together in America's last age of innocence. |

on Chappaquiddick Island. He left the party with Mary Jo Kopechne some
time between 11:15pm and 12:45am on July 1,1969. They drove toward an
isolated beach, but never made it because Senator Kennedy's car went off
the Dyke Bridge into Poucha Pond. He emerged alive and took almost 10 hrs
to report the accident. Mary Jo did not escape from his submerged car and
died sometime during the night. Her death has been the only certainty in
the tragedy. |

Ethel - The story of
Mrs Robert F.Kennedy |
|
David Lester
1971 |

might have been President of the United States. |

Terenzio
Rosemarie
2012 |
To everyone else,
John F. Kennedy Jr may have been American royalty, but to RoseMarie
Terenzio he was an entitled nuisance- and she wasn't afraid to let him
know it. RoseMarie was his personal assistant, his publicist, and one of
his closest confidantes during the last five years of his life. In this,
her first memoir, she bravely recounts her own "Fairy Tale Interrupted",
describing the unlikely friendship between a blue-collar girl from the
Bronx and John F. Kennedy Jr.
Funny, moving, and fresh, her memoir is a unique account by the woman who
was with him through dating, politics, the paparazzi, and his marriage to
Carolyn Bessette. Her street smarts, paired with her loyalty, candor, and
relentless work ethic, made her the trusted insider to America's most
famous man. |

Jacqueline Kennedy told her social secretary, Letitia Baldrige, that she
planned to make some changes to White House entertaining, neither of them
could have foreseen what would follow. Within a few short years,

Jackie |
|
Watney Hedda Lyons
1991 |
Book published in 1991.
From back cover:
"The life and loves of the most famous and desiderable woman in the world.
Jackie Kennedy Onassis, beautiful, fabulously wealthy yet somehow tragic,
has left an indelible impression on her time. Yet despite the glare of
publicity that surrounds her, she remains a mystery.
What is she really like? Will she marry again? and who?". |
Jackie |
|
Elfriede Jelinek
2017 |
Italian version.
This is the theatratical monologue written in 2002 from the 2004 Nobel
Prize-winning Austrian writer Elfriede Jelinek, with her irreverent,
sharp-eyed imagining of the inner life of former first lady Jackie
Kennedy. The one-woman play, is called simply "Jackie" but the
script calls for such chameleon-like mood changes that maybe the title
should have been pluralized.
Jelinek has created a witty, sardonic creature, rather than the
demure-seeming public Jackie familiar to Americans. Using a heavy dose of
irony, she poetically presents fresh ideas about the uses of power and
femininity (not feminism). Her examination of the authenticity of a woman
who lived in a faked media bubble, controlled by handlers and public
expectations, becomes quite poignant at times, as when Jackie muses that
she is "only air and deep pain."
With a fresh, non-American perspective, Jelinek makes clever, cynical
observations about a life that was seemingly lived in the public eye. "I
am completely private by being completely public," Jackie notes. In the
end, Jelinek provides a bittersweet view of an iconic American figure that
we were all familiar with, yet didn't really know at all. |
