@free2bmissa she had a New York accent from the Hamptons, not from NY City itself. It was different. After WWII a lot more newer generations spoke with a less marked accent, so people in the 60's that were in the media and films were perhaps the last generation of people to speak with such an accent. She actually was brought up speaking that way. Other actress(i.e. Marilyn Monroe,etc.) didn't speak with the actual accent natively and perhaps only spoke like that in films.
Can imagine JFK giving the bust of Churchill back or purposely pissing off our closest allie Israel? No way. Kennedy was a traditional liberal, not like his fat ass drunken brother.
I would bet that Michelle Obama doesn't know any of this because she basically hates the country. Democrats were far different then. They actually loved their country and were for the man on the street.
Now think about it for just a second. Jackie Kennedy was the epitome of class. Michelle Obama, doesn't hold a candle to Jackie. My have things have changed.
@greyhoundgirl103 I went to watch this because I read about it in Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations on Life with John F. Kennedy--where she repeatedly demonstrates how much of a petty air-headed witch she was. Seriously, having enough money to buy expensive trinkets and clothes does not equate to class. I hate how people hero worship useless women like Jackie O and Grace Kelly.
@yeahjesse So what are you? Just a person who dislikes another. We all are, but when you say she had no class that's when you don't know what you're talking about. I admire her for who she was, an intelligent, classy and beautiful woman. So is it me you hate for admiration, or Jackie for being admired? Either way its a petty thing to hate. Everything we think can be proven, we must challenge the way we think. I once convinced myself i was in love with a Lego figurine.
@SenselessDreamworld Although sometimes she may sound like an airhead to some people (like the person you're conversing with), all of the people who knew her personally did say that she was very witty, very fast thinking. I think people need to remember that she went to Vassar, which was the Harvard equivalent in her day. I think the reason why she sometimes speaks like this is because her womanizing father taught her to play dumb. It's a shame that such an intelligent woman was taught that. :(
Her teachers and professors remembered her as being very bright and very well-read. And JFK once said himself that she's the first woman he dated with "substance." I actually feel sorry for the Jackie haters. :(

Believe it or not my fellow Americans, this first lady was anything but a saint. She slept with Italian car salesman, Giovanni Agnelli in early 1960 and lo and behold produced a son with him that following November. She decided to name him JFK Jr,. which really was in honor of Agnelli since he was referred to as the JFK Jr. of Italy and Giovanni is the Italian version of John. She not only lied to her husband whom she was married to at the time, but to millions of people nationwide.
@rs216016 I always just assumed she was a liberal bimbo but I realize now she was a woman of great substance.In fact,in 1961 I'd be proud to call myself a democrat but today they ain't nothin' but a fuckin' joke.

@Beyonaa47 Actually, no, Ms Kennedy has a NY/New England accent. This is also fifty years ago before womens' lib and women were more lady-like then. That's all she is being, lady-like.
I fear for all those lovely delicate pieces if that Obama woman is about near them, with her giant shovel hands, huge backside and big bony poking elbows - great lurching waterbuffalo ! hehehe
@n0iwont I feel I must commend on your fine economy of words. I take it you were educated where now? Yale? Harvard?

I wouldn't concern yourself with anything of value. I would also like to point out that you seem a little puffed up with yurself. O yea ya did! Thank You for speaking for ya'll.
@greyhoundgirl103 Are you serious? She's creepy. The only good thing to come from her is Dr. Girlfriend on the Venture Bros., who is ironically much more feminine than this freaky overly-American barbie doll.
Not that she's thin enough or fair enough to really be a barbie, aghhh
i am a proud reagan conservative but have always been a fan of jacqueline kennedy. such a beautiful intelligent woman who brought such style and elegance to the white house and this nation.
@2bananasinpajamas2 I know right?! But I think if we did it would seem so colorful and idk kind'a funny looking haha. Maybe very classy actually, very elegant.
Okay, this might sound funny....but I feel like in the sixties, and even before that. They didn't live in color...like the people then didn't see things like we do now. Haha. It's so weird. Anyway though, I absolutely adore her. Best First Lady we've ever had, hands down.
@kari0901 Hahaha I know it sounds ridiculous, but I seriously just can't grasp it! Like I know that it was color then, but like I can't picture it. When I think about times back then, I think either black and white or that retro coloring. Haha I'm not stupid, swear.
@2bananasinpajamas2 i totally get what u mean. i think the same way. i cant imagine the real things that happened back then in real life color. hahaha....
poor lady...she's so spacey cuz she's wondering what jfk is doing .....probably thought he was with Marilyn Monroe the whole time she was recording this...i feel for her!!
Compared to Ms. Onassis, Laura Bush or Michelle Obama would sound very informal if they were showing us this room. Relatively, they would sound something like this:
"THIS MA' DININ' ROOM! Check out all the seats we got. Lot's of important playas up in this joint fo' real! Love me a nice Whitehouse-cooked meal. Y'all betta reckonize da china; it'll set y'all back a couple hundred G's fo' real. Ain't nobody betta' break that."
Fairly normal Southhampton, Long Island accent and she's acting early 1960s "lady-like." That's how many people where back then. I remember the hairdo. That too was very normal in the early 1960s. Listen to her tour. It is quite informative. At this stage of the game, this is historic footage.
First, I wish CBS would put the ENTIRE tour up because four minutes just isn't cutting it.
Second, can't they convert the black and white into color? They did it with Shirley Temple's old B&W movies because when it comes to Jackie Kennedy, color is a necessity seriously! :)
@452485 Easy 452485 ... it is also easy to read that you were not remotely around back in 1962 ... a time when television was black and white ... color TV's began to sell in large numbers in the late 1960's.
Thus...too bad Richard Nixon failed to win in 1960, get Dicky out of the way early, preferably permanently, then JFK to be filmed in color in late 60's. No Watergate, no JFK assassination, no RFK assassination, going to the Moon delayed ... Jackie not marry Aristotle Onassis. . .
@warrior11x11 I know there was not colour tv at that time. What I meant was film it in colour anyway, with moviecameras, with colourfilm. So that sometime in the future, you could show it in colour.
@452485 Thanks for responding ... clarifying your meaning ... yes, those cheap CBS bastards. Have also seen a few JFK press conferences in black and white. How much better color would have been. JFK's command of these press conferences, clearly showed how much he enjoyed press banter ... and the degree of control. i.e. If a reporter asked a sensitive question, "No Comment" is the cool response, while immediately choosing another reporter to take next question,keeping the conference moving.
shes so beautiful women,they killed all her family..why did they do that..shes so inocent women ever i see..now tell me who killed,it was even in usa not outside .you people just saying that muslims are killers..what about this all..they killed all kennedy family.Jews killed them.
America used to be a great country. Now it is getting crappy with all the PC and illegals and muslims, hindus and crap from third wolrd that come here
@WilliamTheFloydian yeahm, but now it is outdated, so take a nice look around you and you will see that they are not the real poor huddles masses, but people who pretend to be so that they can enter gain, citizenship and then destroy this country with sharia law and their hindu and latino crap.
it's said that Mamie Esienhour had used pink lace from her own collection and used it in each restroom, the fireplace was shut off and not maintained causing Jackie to get angry as upon a famed dinner party it had smoke ruin her guest entire dinner and soot ruined the fab clothing, GOTTA LOVE MAMIE
@1stTrillionaire Yes, she did. Before the assassination, she came across as an airhead, and afterward, as hard as nails. Neither is desirable, although both may be understandable.
She was just so lovely. I can see why the world fell in love with her. I hope that most of her restorations hold today. Does anyone know if about this? A true Lady.
@free2drm Actually if you look up "White House" on wikipedia, there is a nice section on the Kennedy Restoration and the White House restorations/changes since. I think the room that is most intact from Jackie's restoration is the Diplomatic Reception Room (the room with the wallpaper of "scenes of America").
I was very young when Jackie was in the White House, so I don't remember hearing her speak on TV. It's great to hear her speaking here. One can certainly see her delight in the things she's talking about.
After many, many renovations to both the personal and private rooms of the White House, many of designs by Jackie have NOT been changed - enough said! Her style and tasste was unmatched!
Jackie was a product of high society. We are who we are, after all. What she did for the White House was a cause, and why shouldn't she beautify the place? This was how she saw things; I don't think it was to 'gratify' her; it was more the fact that she was High Class, and this was her calling, a natural direction for her. That's how I see it, anyway.
@astridbelge You're not being fair. As part of her restoration efforts, she initiated a Congressional bill establishing that White House furnishings would be the property of the Smithsonian Institution, rather than available to departing ex-presidents to claim as their own. She undertook the project because she felt the WH should have a sense of history and grandeur. Subsequent occupants and the thousands of people who visit this historic landmark were the main beneficiaries.
in fact, jackie competes with her sister for clothes, even when she is first lady, she couldn't not stand to be overshadow even by her own sister, could such egoistical woman have the awarenes of genuinly caring for others?
anyone could see that she decorates the white house for her own pleasure, because she plans to stay there for 8 years.
I am so in awe of Jacqueline Kennedy, such a beautiful and elegant woman with so much charm and grace and such an incredible mind. 'One man can make a differance and every man should try.' God bless her.
Can any ladies out there tell me how you used to do your hair like that ? it's amazing it reminds me of photo's i have of my grandma & i used to wonder how did she get her hair as big as that
Love the accent. It just breaks and destroys the mental image I had of her, completely. I wish she'd just emphasize it even more, in a more Bostonian way, perhaps even fit in a "schmuck" or a "parlor". That way she'd seem even more like a fish out of water.
This is how she spoke in public and she wasn't trying to copy marilyn cuase there are news interviews of her from the 1950s when her husband was running for Senator for Massachusetts and she sounds the same as in this video...during the time her husband was running for senator, Marilyn monroe was not that famous yet...
Sorry, but there's something disturbing about this woman. We could be forgiven if we thought she was on a cocktail of pain killers. Sedated and spacey, her manner and voice reminds me of some Stepford Wife. We've all been TOLD that she was "lovely", intelligent and spoke 5 languages. Frankly, I can find no evidence of her ever discussing anything meaningful or complex. She seems to have command of only two languages, English and French. Her Spanish was horrific, even when read off cue-cards.
I admired her style/beauty/grace but I find her voice here kind of grating, forced, rehearsed almost irritating like you want to say enough already!!! - she should have just been herself which would probably been more natural and pleasant to listen to - RIP Jackie.
Jackie tried very hard to use a "whispery baby doll voice" (claims a book I am reading) and it is very fake - she worked hard at it. She never felt beautiful, so she tried to be seducing in her voice.
@mkismyheart Wow! Is THAT what's going on here? My goodness, she sounds like she's on drugs. Spacey. You know, I have never read any negative about her anywhere. Yet, throughout the years, I've never seen any evidence that she was intelligent or spoke "5 languages". We're TOLD that she's "lovely" but frankly, I don't see it here. Much like Lady Di, Jackie seems to be famous for her circumstances, not because of anything she did. Her image seems to be manufactured by the press and her handlers.
Jackie was trying to use a breathy sort of voice like marilyn's I think as a way of letting Marilyn know that she knew about her affair with her husband...she knew she was also a little jealous I think but I am a huge fan of both women
@CREEPYANI Funny u should say that. I've been watching videos of her cousin & aunt who lived in their run down home in the Hamptons for yrs. No money. Her cousin lost her hair & was a bit off & took care of her mother. They lived in one rm really. Didn't have heat or much to eat. When it made the news. Jackie the doll her went to visit them to try & help. A little to late i think. Bunch of phonies they all r. look up Edie - Grey Gardens. There was something wrong in that gene pool.
That is so creepy lol. I think Kennedy married her just because of her family that's why he was cheating on her. Even the Greek couldn't stand her after a while. I'm sure she was very greedy and I don't think they were as rich as they claimed. If they were so rich she would go on crazy shopping sprees after she married Aristotle it says even he ccomplained about her spending. Someone born with that much money wouldn't act like that!!
If you look on the Onassis family tree, you will find my great-grandmother's name (Mary Bouvier), along with many of her relatives (Gerald Bouvier, Joseph Bouvier, etc.).
She sounds like she smoked a joint.

@452485 Easy 452485 ... it is also easy to read that you were not remotely around back in 1962 ... a time when television was black and white ... color TV's began to sell in large numbers in the late 1960's.
Thus...too bad Richard Nixon failed to win in 1960, get Dicky out of the way early, preferably permanently, then JFK to be filmed in color in late 60's. No Watergate, no JFK assassination, no RFK assassination, going to the Moon delayed ... Jackie not marry Aristotle Onassis. . .

@warrior11x11 I know there was not colour tv at that time. What I meant was film it in colour anyway, with moviecameras, with colourfilm. So that sometime in the future, you could show it in colour.
452485 1 year ago
@452485 Thanks for responding ... clarifying your meaning ... yes, those cheap CBS bastards. Have also seen a few JFK press conferences in black and white. How much better color would have been. JFK's command of these press conferences, clearly showed how much he enjoyed press banter ... and the degree of control. i.e. If a reporter asked a sensitive question, "No Comment" is the cool response, while immediately choosing another reporter to take next question,keeping the conference moving.

@free2drm Actually if you look up "White House" on wikipedia, there is a nice section on the Kennedy Restoration and the White House restorations/changes since. I think the room that is most intact from Jackie's restoration is the Diplomatic Reception Room (the room with the wallpaper of "scenes of America").

sp8211a 1 year ago
Jackie was a product of high society. We are who we are, after all. What she did for the White House was a cause, and why shouldn't she beautify the place? This was how she saw things; I don't think it was to 'gratify' her; it was more the fact that she was High Class, and this was her calling, a natural direction for her. That's how I see it, anyway.

astridbelge 1 year ago
@astridbelge You're not being fair. As part of her restoration efforts, she initiated a Congressional bill establishing that White House furnishings would be the property of the Smithsonian Institution, rather than available to departing ex-presidents to claim as their own. She undertook the project because she felt the WH should have a sense of history and grandeur. Subsequent occupants and the thousands of people who visit this historic landmark were the main beneficiaries.

in fact, jackie competes with her sister for clothes, even when she is first lady, she couldn't not stand to be overshadow even by her own sister, could such egoistical woman have the awarenes of genuinly caring for others?
anyone could see that she decorates the white house for her own pleasure, because she plans to stay there for 8 years.

Love the accent. It just breaks and destroys the mental image I had of her, completely. I wish she'd just emphasize it even more, in a more Bostonian way, perhaps even fit in a "schmuck" or a "parlor". That way she'd seem even more like a fish out of water.

This is how she spoke in public and she wasn't trying to copy marilyn cuase there are news interviews of her from the 1950s when her husband was running for Senator for Massachusetts and she sounds the same as in this video...during the time her husband was running for senator, Marilyn monroe was not that famous yet...

catjohnson007 1 year ago
Sorry, but there's something disturbing about this woman. We could be forgiven if we thought she was on a cocktail of pain killers. Sedated and spacey, her manner and voice reminds me of some Stepford Wife. We've all been TOLD that she was "lovely", intelligent and spoke 5 languages. Frankly, I can find no evidence of her ever discussing anything meaningful or complex. She seems to have command of only two languages, English and French. Her Spanish was horrific, even when read off cue-cards.

Jackie tried very hard to use a "whispery baby doll voice" (claims a book I am reading) and it is very fake - she worked hard at it. She never felt beautiful, so she tried to be seducing in her voice.

@mkismyheart Wow! Is THAT what's going on here? My goodness, she sounds like she's on drugs. Spacey. You know, I have never read any negative about her anywhere. Yet, throughout the years, I've never seen any evidence that she was intelligent or spoke "5 languages". We're TOLD that she's "lovely" but frankly, I don't see it here. Much like Lady Di, Jackie seems to be famous for her circumstances, not because of anything she did. Her image seems to be manufactured by the press and her handlers.

@CREEPYANI Funny u should say that. I've been watching videos of her cousin & aunt who lived in their run down home in the Hamptons for yrs. No money. Her cousin lost her hair & was a bit off & took care of her mother. They lived in one rm really. Didn't have heat or much to eat. When it made the news. Jackie the doll her went to visit them to try & help. A little to late i think. Bunch of phonies they all r. look up Edie - Grey Gardens. There was something wrong in that gene pool.

That is so creepy lol. I think Kennedy married her just because of her family that's why he was cheating on her. Even the Greek couldn't stand her after a while. I'm sure she was very greedy and I don't think they were as rich as they claimed. If they were so rich she would go on crazy shopping sprees after she married Aristotle it says even he ccomplained about her spending. Someone born with that much money wouldn't act like that!!
