The stalker "photographer" is disgusting.
Babbling about his stalking & his creepy obsession, as if it's something to be proud of, is horrifying.
He should have been jailed for stalking.
Nasty.
In my opinion.
He is disgusting. He could have got a real job and left the poor woman alone! Bragging about being a stalker is gross to say the least.
I SO agree with what you said!!! What a creep and he should be ashamed but once again, stalking her. She was beautiful, and brilliant who lived with MUCH sorrow in her life
Fully agree. Vile. What a sociopath. How could they feature him in this piece in such a cheerful manner. Totally tone deaf. Dude gave me major creeps.
According to Google, this mofo lived till 91. His death was featured in the NYT. What does that tell ya about American society.
You must never have had to work for a living.
That photographer bragging about stalking is so gross.
right? How awful to give him a platform in this documentary when it's stressed over and over how much distress he caused her.
Agree!
It truly is
How about the French 🇫🇷 photographers who trailed Princess Diana 👑 the night she departed with her lover Dody Alfeid . Had they not followed so aggressive.. the drunk chauffeur wouldn't have crashed and hit 🎯 the concrete beam ..as he was merging into the left side under the tunnel.
I was just about to write the same! With his smile telling this sh*t - and he was telling it proudly!
My mother was of Jackie's generation and absolutely idolized her. If Jackie was on the cover of a magazine, my mom bought a copy. She thought Jackie was one of the most beautiful and fashionable ladies ever. As I became an adult, my mom and I had an inside joke where we pretended that she and Jackie were BFFs. I'd ask my mom, "Heard from Jackie lately?", and my mom would answer, "No, but you know how busy she is with her editing job. She hardly has time for her friends anymore!" 😂
Jacqueline was a world class fortune hunter! She married Ari Onassis because he was worth 500 Million in 1968. He would have been a Billionaire in 2020 money.
Jacqueline loved big homes, fancy prep schools, international travel and great wealth ( not sure she cared much about the working class)!
@@kdtennis1 And that, sir, was the gist of the joke -- the utter improbability that Jackie would even give my mom the time of day, much less become BFFs with her. We'd joke about Elizabeth Taylor in the same fashion. We found it amusing to imagine them "slumming" with us in our decidedly middle-class digs.
@@kdtennis1 ABSOLUTELY!!! Lot of people seem to be blinded by this fact ... not sure why ... lot'a ignorant people in the world.
@@SarahRenz59 I suspect your mother and you had more class than both these women put together ...
My mom worshipped them both
She n my dad married the Sat after his death and for their honeymoon, went to DC to mourn
True story
She was still 17 and my dad was 20. And she tried to be Jackie O from jfks inauguration to 1979 when she (my mom) died.
"There was such an innocence to America, then". That absolutely depends on who you were, in America.
as in any country there was never innocence,,,,it all revolve about money, sex and power...
yeah I was also like... surely she's not talking about *THE 1950s* 😀😀😀😀 innocent for who?? the Black people who's cities were being burned by racists? the segregation? the people pouring bleach into swimming pools where Black people were???
@@QueenZsWorld Right? Was it a 1950s on another planet? Jim Crow laws, the lynching, kidnapping, torture, and brutal murder of an innocent boy, 14 year old Emmett Till...
Right?! Idealizing “bygone simpler times” is how we got MAGA - movements devoid of historical facts. Even for white people, better hope you’re not a poor single mom. Or a woman with a husband who believed in beating his wife. Yeah. Great times.
Wow. Jackie looks exactly like her father and Lee, her mother.
Exactly
!!!
yeap....the moment i saw her and her father...the first borns always take and look after their fathers...
Comparing Kennedy’s infidelities with the “vices of cigarettes or alcohol “ makes no sense. As a young teen living in NJ, I instinctively knew that the worship of the Kennedy family was wrong. Kennedy was elected to office, not anointed King. His murder was shocking and sad .
All mean cheat..that is a fact..
However he was just a great leader therefore he was murdered..
CIA involved..
Dirty ..no good people!
His brother-in- lawr RFK was assassinated in California, five years after JFK was unexpectedly shot in Dallas, Texas!
Vb
You are right. There was no Camelot. He was not a King and his family was not royalty. They made their money selling bootleg whiskey.
@@treshamassey804 I never could understand how the entire family were worshipped ... for what? Seriously???
Interesting how these commentators excuse Kennedy's infidelities as straightforward and normal. I have never understood the worship of the Kennedys.
Agreed.
Adultery is a nasty way to conduct oneself & destroy one's marriage, spouse, & family.
Vile & disgusting.
In my opinion.
You mean the rich bootlegging family. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don’t get it either! Smh 🤦🏽♀️
People who worship the Kennedys don't have a life of their own.
Apparently it’s now straightforward and normal for a President.
I was in 7th grade Science class w Mr. Greenberg when the Principal came into the classroom and whispered something and we were all told we were being dismissed and all our parents were waiting for us. It was like the world stood still for 3 days of nonstop tv coverage. Sad.
This was made more than 5 years ago. Lee Radziwill died in 2019. There is a great deal left out of this story of two sisters, and a lot is glossed over.
I'm all ears if you wish to tell us more .
I don't know if Lee radziwill was financially well-off later in life or not but I heard that when Jackie died she left nothing in her will to Lee .
@@gardensofthegods I haven't watched this in a number of months and can't remember exactly what was in it. Speculation was that Jackie felt she had done quite enough for her sister while she was alive, thank you very much. I have no idea what Lee was worth when she died. If you want to get some really juicy dish about Lee, look up the Data Lounge online. Great discussion there and who knows how much of it is true.

Ron Galella was a stalker and should have been jailed. He caused her and the kids so much anxiety and anguish. It's not funny Ron.
That pervert is lucky he never had an "accident".
Satine
She wanted that life, did she not?
@@amandaa3713 You're victim blaming.
@@amandaa3713 she did not want to be harassed and stalked by Galella.
Ron Galella admits he was obsessed with the legendary Jacqueline Onassis. She had led a super rare life.
How rare is it that one woman marries a US President and then marries a Greek Shipping Magnate worth 500 Million (Aristotle Onassis)!
This same woman starts work in book editing , in her later years!
Big Money Jackie O made sure both her kids ( Caroline and John) earned Law School Degrees. Jackie was a fascinating person and super intelligent!
Did anyone notice the picture that they showed of Jackie's father holding the hand of a woman with another woman sitting next to them on a rail ( at an equestrian show )? I read an article one time that had that picture in it, the lady on the far right was Jackie's mother and his wife and the lady whose hand he was holding was his girlfriend... Sitting right next to his wife. No wonder Jackie put up with JFK's philandering ways.
Yes, I remembered reading about the story behind that photograph - quite astonishing!
I did notice that. I thought I was confused at first. How could THAT be possible!? It is true that our parents show us what to expect in relationships to a great degree.
Wow !!
Black Jack Bouvier was movie star handsome! He was a Yale Educated/ Playboy!
He slept with other women besides Janet Lee during the marriage ( Janet / mom of Jacqueline Onassis)!
Wow, indeed. If anyone could share the time it appears in the video, it would be greatly appreciated .. I think, by many who read this comment. Am going to go have a look. Many thanks, very interesting. 🌷
Wait wait wait, this direction of investigation chooses to give paparazzi a voice but doesn’t go into how she saved grand central station? Such a fantastical shame
I was a young girl when Jackie came to the forefront of history. I adored her style and her dignity during the dark days of Jack Kennedy's assassination. But her voice was grating and seemed so put on.
I agree with you Jackie’s voice was fake and grating on you ears!
Jackie was a drug addict - research "Dr. Feelgood"
she was French so was her English accent.
Listen to most women who attended Miss Porter's CT School. They all have that breathy "speak-softy-and-give-the-impression-of-a-European accent" sound.
@@juneerasmus3485 who was French?
Fair warning if you plan to watch this, there is 9 ad breaks in this 43 minute doc. So every 4 minutes you'll be interrupted by a blaring ad right in the middle of the narrator's sentence. Not a good viewing experience.
Jackie was so classy. Everything she wore when she was alive can still be worn today. That’s what you call classic style, attire that never goes out of style. 👗
Hello Cassandra, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
POOR LEE... SHE WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE
@@stevengermadnik3162 I don’t know too much about her, but she does appear to be a lost soul. But she had style, boi 👏🏽
You are absolutely correct However many women these days can not pull off true classiness. The old saying: "Clothes make the man (or woman)" has proven to not be the case. I guess it depends on the "style" of clothing. 🤷🏽♀️😂
@@tantalize5795 Haha! Yes, they go for the trends instead of the timeless looks. I mean, I am guilty of that too. Lol. But the older I get, the more I want to look timeless.
I have respect for Lee Radziwill. The unsung sister who dealt with the betrayal of her popular sister.
lee wasn't a saint, she had her share go scandals, Her popular older sister had to ask the pope a annulment or divorce for her( allegedly )
I agree with you!
It appears that she was genuine! Unlike Jackie Kennedy who was a Fake!!!
Hello dear how are you doing today how’s your day going?
@@schwozraymond7524 pesky scamming artists..tsktsk like flies on s__t professional internet predators......
Shoofly!!!!
Actually it was LEE who seduced JFK..
.Jackie had been so good to her...and she stabbed her in the back. Lee was manipulative...ask Julia Roberts!
I'm not someone who ever took great interest in these folks, especially given they belong more to the generation of my parents. But, I have to say it was incredibly disturbing that Jackie had so little recourse against the stalker who happened to also be a photographer. As a private citizen, she should have been afforded more protection and it's very sad the quality of such important years of her and her family's lives were compromised by this man.
@@dy9278 That may be technically correct, but what about decency? The right to a peaceful existence? Treating others with respect? Referring to someone as “game” is disturbing in itself.
Yes. 💔
And look what photographers did to Princess Diana.
Why are you gaslighting people by saying that these people belong more to the generation of my parents when you have the same elitism taking place every day.
Then you mix up that issue with the issue of the paparazzi hounding.
2 different issues dear...2 issues.
private citizen?..in today's world Jackie still would of had Secret Service protection as a former First Lady
Ron Galella may be a little old man in this documentary, but his obsession with following Jackie O and her children for photographs is sickening. Most troubling is that he seems to have no remorse despite knowing his behavior was harassing. In a former life, he must have been a gnat.
You must never have had to work for a living.
EXACTLY!! I wrote a similar comment to this!! Really made me mad!! 😡🤬😤
Former lives exsist? Who knew🤷♀️-what could Jaqkie have been in her Former life🧑🎄🧛🏻♀️🧌🐝🐞🦟🐍🦄🦋🪱🦖🕸🕷?????
Right? He just sits there laughing about it as if HE wasn't making a living out of tormenting her. He could have literally gotten any other job but he chose to get his money by making her miserable.
@@ellaeadig263 Get real. The reality is most people would rather have a lot of money than a little. He was a photographer. PAPARAZZI exist because there's a high demand for pictures of celebrities.
I was rocking my firstborn baby son who was two weeks old, watching TV and the Kennedy's motorcade in Dallas and saw JFK SHOT and his head explode, blood everywhere and Jackie terrified, trying to escape the car over the trunk but secret service pushed her down to protect her. It was the most horrific thing I've ever seen, live on TV. Then the commotion and anguish as he was in hospital that day, either dead or dying. I remember hearing Jackie cut a strand of his hair in the morgue as a keepsake. She was extremely courageous at the way she handled herself and planned the funeral. I saw it all. Very sad.
That must have been exceptionally disturbing as a new Mother.
I am so very, very sorry.
I was so hormonally-affected for months after my child was born.
My child was a few months old when the murderous events of 9/11 occured.
The normal heartbreak of that tragedy was made all the more vicious, as a new Mother.
Not only because of the hormones, but because it was excruciatingly clear that the world is dark & dangerous, & my precious, precious child was growing up in such a world. 💔
May this world become a safer, better, more wonderful, joyous place for ALL of our children & grandchildren (my someday-grandchildren... I hope!)--NOW! 🌟
My sister-in-law was born that very day. Watching triggered her mother's labor.
@@redwoodrebelgirl3010 It has always been the price for being alive. Life has always had dangers involved, natural disaster, pandemics & illness, accidents,
Time stopped. The question was where were you when JFK died. I was in 4th grade and my teacher came in the room crying and told us to go home
@@Mimzie-Arizona I don't really remember what I was doing that day. I was only 6.
I think part of the fascination about Jackie and Lee is the fact their lives were documented and recorded in pictures from from when they were born. So we are presented with an entire smorgasbord of facts covering their lives in entirety. Combined with the appearance of young women possessing such innate elegance and class, they were bound to be put on a pedestal and under a microscope simultaneously.
Extremely well put, a pedestal and a microscope simultaneously...
No one cared about Lee. Jackie was FLOTUS and married to a big name family. After he was murdered people followed her to see how the children grew up, if Jackie ever found true happiness. She was another Princess Di.
no way....Jacqueline as with Diana, only surfaced through their marriages to their own husbands....otherwise they would still be unknown.
One word missing here in describing her: poise
The exquisite Jackie. Always chic and a lady underneath the worst of circumstances. May she rest in eternal peace.
TBH when I was younger I never thought she was a good-looking, attractive or a chic woman until I grew older. Funny how our minds change over the years. 💁🏽♀️

She always chased men with huge bank accounts. A US President and then one of the wealthiest men in Greece ( Onassis worth 500 Million at one time)!
Jackie had a mission to CREATE the legacy of John Kennedy.
I was home sick from school on my parents wedding anniversary, my mom was ironing when we heard the announcement on tv about the assignation. I watched Jackie most of my life in awe. Thanks for this story it is wonderful
I was too, sick from school with my parakeet on my lap and watched it in real time.
Jackie should never have mess with her sister’s ex lover, that’s the only unclassy thing she did
Honestly, she's a gold digger and social climber

They kinda skimmed over the fact that Maurice Templesman was married and never divorced his wife.

I did not know that Jackie's sister had an affair with Onassis - before he married Jackie. I did know Onassis had an affair with Callas - and that he ordered her to get an abortion - and then his only son died in a plane crash - and lots of other crazy insanity.
Maria Callas gave birth to a baby 🍼👶. It died ..I saw the pictures and read an official Autobiography about her in 2005 . The book 📚 is at Loyola University in New Orleans Louisiana. He was the father of two of her pregnancies.. There are about 5 autobiographies about her life dating back to the middle 1970's,1980's and 1990's. The A&E channel back in the 1990's use to cover the Vintage Politicians,Old money 💲💰💲 and Socialite's, Movie mavens from the 1940's-1980's..
@@gigigiseleworld I knew one abortion was reported - sometimes unwed female celebrities gave birth secretly and then a couple years later, they would adopt their own toddler - film actress Loretta Young is one example.
@@WhirledPublishingDo you mean Loretta Young?
Jackie did it! 💥
Lee cheated on her second husband with Onassis. The whole thing was a mess.
I agree that Jackie was the “It girl “ of the sixties and no one knew how difficult her life was and would be. I think Diana was trying to do what Jackie did and escape to a wealthy husband who could protect her from known and unknown monsters. Both were media and fashion icons, their husbands endlessly cheated on them,and had young children when their marriages ended in tragedy, Jackie was in the car when Jack died and likely even a target. Their lives were very similar full of fairy tales, sorrow, craziness and demons. Jackie survived and Diana lives on in the worlds heart. 🙏💕🙏💕
Yeah but Jackie still loved her husband
That photographer being “obsessed” with her is so weird. Is no one talking about it?
There is a documentary about that photographer & the restraining orders he violated against Jackie Kennedy
@Ruona Eruvwetere, yeah very creepy & he's not aware of his problem. He admits he's obsessed in asscoiation with their personal lives. I see someone replied about a documnetary about him. Might be interesting though I wonder if it's all about the topic, I don't need to know about him. I'll think about it.
These days they'd call him a stalker. That's exactly what he was. If he truly cared for her he wouldn't have made more stress in her life. He was a narcissist, fancied himself as a famous person.. Weird.
He was making a living pica of Jackie brought him big bucks!!!
many

insane
mad ThaTs

She was trained to marry money. Her image was polished for that task. She accomplished marrying money and power. A two for one. She was far more calculating and manipulative than most people want to admit.
She shot JFK and married Onassis. Bit of a drama queen that one.
What´s even better is that she married the richest toad in the world but that Onassis guy was able to be ´charming´ with women. She spent 500,000 dollars a year of his money on fashion. Bit over the top maybe but good for her. What else is there but fasion.
Baby face at 21:42. She doesn´t look amused. He´s gonna get it big time. You don´t want her against you.
Baby face looks relaxed though. Not amused but relaxed. Everything under control.
´Onassis offered her the security and privacy she craved´. And then he sold her barenaked bottom to The Hustler. A global media storm.
I have heard of Lee radziwil as some jet set, rolling stones era , It Girl. I had absolutely no idea at all she was related to Jackie Kennedy, I had no idea JKO even had a sister until just now!
Lee whaT? who? here was no
@Ludo Vica Wow, you must either live under a rock or be very young lol. Everyone knows they were sisters
Lee was my client. I was a Travel Agent. She was incapable or was used to being served. I had to arrange travel between two airlines, for her and have agents escort her.
Me TOO! She only passed away in 2019. How sad
It was well known around the world.
this doc is so interesting and really well made. i love jackie
I lived relatively close to the Radziwill's estate - in Olyka town. The Soviets made the beautiful palace into mental institution. When first occupied in 1939 the Russian soldiers were using centuries old books as fuel for the fireplace and vandalized the palace. There were plenty of trees and other fuel around. I personally know his maternal cousins.
Radziwill estates where everywhere on the territory of the Great Duchy of Lithuania- Poland, nowadays Belarus- Nesvizh. They were the greatest family and much more important than these of Windsor-Buttenberg
Bit sleazy
@@grassysands8857 In some sense, you're correct about Hitler if he only fought against communists, but he did attack the non-communist countries.
The other things that USSR was a nursing breast the raised Nazi's monster. Stalin helped Hitler to evade sanctions imposed on Germany after the defeat in WWI: German were trаinnig as pilots, among whom was Hermann Göring (Hering), they contantly supplied them with strategic minerats etc, they divided the area of influence. Only when Hitler attacked first if threw Staling off, but before Stalin held Hitler in high esteem and respect. In 1939 they joined military parade in Brest (now Belorus) after dividing Poland.
Now Russians are committing crimes that Germans never did. German was only invading army that did not rape or robe civilians.
@@Volynyankawrong about attacking killing raping citizens... thousands civilians were raped killed by German invading Nazis army.
I think media inappropriately labeled Lee as jealous of Jackie...I don't think she was at all. I just think they had an unspoken competition between them.
Lee could never be Jacqueline Onassis!
Lovely tribite and bio. So true that people can be distracted (and obsessed) with physical beauty that we fail to see the depth, talent, and incisive intelligence of beautiful people.
Just an interesting tidbit that has nothing, really, to do with anything…..Jackie’s Father was nicknamed “Black Jack” and the riderless horse in the funeral of JFK was named “Black Jack”. Just a small coincidence that I find a little bit interesting.
Interesting, indeed.
I always thought she was an odd looking woman...her eyes are really far apart... yet she is beautiful and poised in the way she speaks is so elegant
Jacqueline was a legendary persona. She married Ari Onassis in 1968! That saved her and she moved to Greece.
She kept her sanity and then became a book editor! There was a 24 Million Dollar Settlement from the Onassis Estate!
Jacqueline used top NYC Attorneys to fight Christina Onassis!
Jacqueline and Teddy Kennedy fought Christina Onassis and got the 24 Million!
The photographer stalks Jackie and her family, but thinks he was doing them a favor by surrendering them. 😮
They look so much alike. I suppose it's not easy to live up to a sister like Jackie and in the end it's best to be yourself.
You are right!!!!!😊🇬🇧
Why? She wasn’t that smart and not good looking. I know that some people thought she was a beauty but I think she was very weird looking.
@@annaal7480 😂
Your opinion is not valuable! Jacqueline was above average looking and always one of the best dressed women in the world ( for over 30 years)!
@@annaal7480 You're one of the few w that opinion.
Wow.....a lot of history I never knew of. Interesting for sure
Jackie was a strong beautiful woman. In all of her difficult trials in life she continued to rise above it all. The only thing that I remember about her is that she spent a lot of time alone. Even though she had family and friends, social interactions she was alone. She was a icon, I miss her. 😢❤
Most families have complicated relationships and no one is "royalty".
Even though America shouldn't have royal families, the public makes them anyway. Pretty disappointing if you ask me.
OMG, Caroline Kennedy looks exactly like her grandmother, Jacky’s mother.
lol... Even in the title here, Lee gets overlooked. 😂❤
Beautiful and Sophisticated. Jackie was all that and more.
I remember the only time I saw my Dad cry was when Kennedy was shot and his reaction while watching the news. I never thought Jackie was that pretty....attractive, elegant, poised, and classy for sure.
In my high school we had one of the world's leading JFK researchers of the time, as a history teacher. One day he taught us all his research with power points and stuff and it was so interesting. I knew that any president's assassination was bad for any nation but I did not understand why until a few years later...and I remembered my teacher's presentation. Fast forward to 2022 and it's like repeat with m4r-4-l4g0.Wow. If you're wondering, look up Dark Journalist.
So that was probably the most pivotal point in modern history, and Jackie was so poised despite her grief. Truly America's queen. Also how were they all so ripped and lean back then? lol talk about fast food and big agra destroying nutrition. I can only hope that my children will one day think of some of the people in this generation as timeless as her. *Editing because I just read that she was anorexic? That explains a lot. I was wondering if she was or not.
And she chain smoked instead of eating
How wonderful to have such a teacher. 🙂 Pivotal, indeed ... appreciate your sharing.
haha All so ripped, yes! I read an article many years ago, that compared 'size portions' in restaurants, especially fast food, the span was 40 years .. staggering, near doubled for size of coffee, pop, fries, burgers. The 1950s burgers delivered by the car hops, is not what's being served today. Not to leave out the fact that we didn't eat out back then, near as much as people do today.
Wooow.. they married on My birthday!! SEPTEMBER 12!!! WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY
I feel very sorry for her god blessing her family
Interesting that he never realized how revolting he was.
He was worth 500 Million in 1968. That is a Billionaire in 2022 Money!
i believe the sister Lee was better looking and more petite. prolly more a lil firecracker as well.
Jackie O..what a woman, what a life! Her pretty debutante sister Lee Radzwell is fascinating too, & equally beautiful!❤
Love this.
I'm a very old woman now but I remember the moment I heard that John F. Kennedy died in the Dallas hospital where generations of my family had been born. I felt that Bobby Kennedy would be the one to carry on the Kennedy dream only to be kicked in the gut when he was murdered. Everyone talked about Jackie Kennedy. She was our First Lady, kicked out of the White House, two small children trying to reinvent her life
She wasn't kicked out of the White House. Her husband was no longer president. Did you expect her to live there forever? I'm quite sure there were people there to help her move and made sure she had a nice place to live. It's horrible for anyone to lose their spouse, especially when they have young children, but she wasn't evicted.
After Jackie’s mother Janet Lee divorced her father ‘Black Jack’ Bouvier, who was the father of Jackie and younger sister Caroline Lee Bouvier (later known as Lee) she married Hugh Auchincloss. Hugh had previously been married to Nina Gore, mother of Gore Vidal, who had divorced his father Gene Vidal. So Gore and Jackie (and Lee) had the same stepfather. After Nina divorced Hugh, she married a third time to Robert Olds. Jackie of course was married to JFK then Onassis. Lee married Prince Radziwill. After divorcing him, she married Herbert Ross. Complicated huh!
Lee had always been known as Lee, almost never as Caroline. She was named Caroline for her dad's grandmother, Caroline Ewing Bouvier; Lee is the name her maternal grandfather expected almost all of his grandchildren to have.
Winifred Lee d'Olier
Jacqueline Lee Bouvier
Caroline Lee Bouvier
Mary Lee Ryan
Joan Lee Ryan
James Thomas Lee Ryan
These are the names of just some of James T. Lee's grandchildren.
Such a beauty‼️
The debutante ball! What a time to be alive! Lol
Jackie was correct. First we marry for love. The second is for money and the third for companionship. The competition between Jackie and Lee started with the four year gap in age. It’s a killer.
Their mother was always comparing the girls to each other, telling them not to compete with one another yet setting them up to compete with each other. Jacqueline was their mother's clear favorite as a child, then when the children matured, she switched her affections to Lee, creating a seething jealousy from Jackie towards Lee.
@@travelseatsyellowlab I relate to this. My parents had “favs”…I was not one of them. 😞 I achieved more !😁

This constant cheating n divorcing
For what?
@@YeshuaKingMessiah Lee and Jacqueline were trained by Janet Bouvier Auchincloss, their mother, to marry powerful men who could provide financial security. Mrs. Auchincloss was a socially ambitious woman who controlled every area of her daughters lives, down to whom they slept with. During one time, Mrs. Auchincloss got wind of Jacqueline becoming involved with someone whom Mrs. Auchincloss had investigated and learned he didn't earn enough money for her tastes; she slapped Jackie across the face for this perceived poor decision. When Lee started carrying on an affair during her first marriage, Mrs. A approached Lee's husband, telling him he had until morning to vacate her Newport premises. He left promptly. Jackie ruined the scheduled union between Lee Bouvier Radziwill and hotelier Newton Cope. An hour before the wedding ceremony was to commence, Jacqueline stepped in to demand that Cope agree to a prenuptial agreement before going down the aisle with Lee. Cope pushed back, saying he really wanted to marry Lee because he loved her. Negotiations didn't go the way Jackie wanted, so the wedding was called off five minutes before it was scheduled to begin. Cope and Bouvier went on the honeymoon instead. This family was willing to climb anyone's back they could as long as they got what they wanted, which was money and power.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah I think the answer is that some people have the morality of a dog, if that!
This presentation is absolutely sensational! It's a lot like thumbing through old photographs, though, isn't it. It's all very depressing. I was a month old when Kennedy was assassinated and my brother was seven. Lee Harvey Oswald was his name and he was himself assassinated the day after his capture (if memory serves). My mom filled me in on the historical highlights, or lowlights as it were, when I came of age.
Jackie an? d her spare
Yes we are the Oswald was fascinated by Jack Ruby as the police were walking him I think out to court. Wherever they were walking him there was a cop on either side of him when he was assassinated. I don't know how true it is but rumors abound that Jack Ruby was contracted through the mafia to kill Lee Harvey Oswald. That's a rabbit hole that you could go down for a long long time.
If you truly think that Oswald killed Kennedy, you need to do some research.
He was clearly a patsy, as was Sirhan Sirhan after him.
@@redwoodrebelgirl3010 I have to agree with you on that.. I think he might have been involved in some way but certainly not the man who killed the president. He might have also have had a gun.

Thank you. ♥️
It's hard, of course, to figure it all out--where the Truth may lie, as we have been told a bunch of lies about it, since it happened. :(
The epitome of elegance and class.
She was known to chase rich men. She married a US President. There was another incredible marriage!
She married a Greek Oil Magnate worth 500 Million ( Aristotle Onassis)! Caroline, John and Jacqueline lived on Easy Street.
This was after Jacqueline got the 25 Million Dollar Settlement from Christina Onassis!
@@kdtennis1 , yes I have read the details of her life including with Onassis.
During the gathering of the details of the JFK assassination Jackie was interviewed at her townhouse in Georgetown to spare her having to deal with the public’s attention.
I had a friend who was responsible for typing up the daily notes. She was trusted not only to not divulge the details but she couldn’t even hint what she was working on.
She was escorted to and from the sessions and locked in with a cop standing outside.
She says that she was happy to do what she could to help get the information for the investigation and to keep Jackie’s privacy.
Wow!
It’s the saddest and most tragic thing I’ve ever known - that assassination of President JFK.
If the most tragic and saddest thing you've ever known was a murder of a man you're never met, you must have lead a very empty, boring and lonely life.
Bobby too! Sadly Marilyn Monroe thought Kennedy would divorce & marry her!💜🙏💜
@@AFAskygoddess JFK fought for blks to have rts!
@@AFAskygoddess whatever I am, luckily I’m not cynical and unkind.
Excelent!
I loved the Kennedy years. I never got over the assasination.
Jackie was devastated by the assassination 43:45 of her husband. She did love him and she after the dust
settled she went into a deep depression after 5 months in DC moved to an apartment in NY still deep in sorrow. This was revealed by Clint Hill her Service man who was asked to stay on which her did going to NY and retiring as her guard after a year.
Early on Lee was definitely the looker of the two. Perhaps Jackie bested her at diplomacy and tenacity and luck.
Jacqueline, was one of the most known women in the world.
She was the widow of a US President, then she married a Greek Oil Shipping Magnate ( Ari Onassis)
She moved to Greece for 7 years. She moved back to the United States after Onassis died in 1975!
@@kdtennis1 Indeed, Jackie had two high profile marriages.
That photographer is a creep
The title card is "Jackie: A tale of two sisters" ? Did this thing even go through an editing process?
GOSSIP!!! Jackie Kennedy Onassis was a remarkable lady who worked tirelessly to improve both the US and World (one would have to RESEARCH her accomplishments NOT "info" from a CZcams video!!! So MANY statements on Jackie Kennedy Onassis who never saw her or met her or nnew anything about her. She went through her personal nightmares (father died of drink, gambling and lost great wealth, she was put eventually in a boarding school).
She did AMAZING things for WA, The White House (preservaton) and NYC (preservatoin of historical landmarkes and art and much much more.
I lived in NYC for 33 years and one could see her about all the time. She visited a place where I worked with her sister (Very ELite "The Box Tree" (was GRACIOUS) soft spoken (like a little bird) and even THANKED me for remembering her coat!!! (I checked coats at this mosty "gay men place) Her MINK coat along with other women's so I tucked it in a spot where I could not confuse it!!! )
She miscarried, and one baby one "still born" which devestated her! (and her husband was on a Yatch with friends - and had to be convinced to return to the US "if" he wanted to run for President!) (oh and his father "convinced" HER to not get a divorce re his many many infidelities! She lost another baby Patrick (Hyaline membrane disase - can't breath) 3 months prior to JFK murder in Dealey Plaza!
Those posting negative statements base it on "mag rag" info (such as this ???video).
Et bien je pense que tout ces bébés perdu était un signe qu elle devait ne pas faire d enfants avec cet homme peut-être qu il ne l'a méritait pas elle vaut mieux
After reading some of the comments it's apparent that some don't understand the era. Not excusing the infidelity at all but marriage in general but especially in the "upper class" during that time was viewed very differently than today. The thing that amazes me was the age of Jackie at the time of becoming 1st Lady & death of her husband 31 years old & then 33. The class she displayed, how she carried herself can't be matched by those of the same age in today's society. Whether you agree, like or don't like the Kennedys you have to say that Jackie was a Lady
Not to mention, reinvigorating and renovating the White House, no small undertaking.
First lady ❤
Not well-known, because Jackie kept it hidden from the media, is that she was a heavy smoker. That is likely the reason she had miscarriages and premature babies. Same with her sister. Possibly also the reason she later died of cancer. Before and during her marriage to JFK, Jackie put more emphasis on her French heritage through her father and downplayed her Irish on her mother's side to elevate her status. Smart lady!
The smoking habit caused her early death at 64!
@@kdtennis1 Jackie Kennedy died of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a form of cancer.
She died of non hodkins lymphoma a cancer of the lymphoma system part of the immune system not affected by smoking
@@Jenny-uv4dl That is what I said!
@@kdtennis1
She was exposed to mercury when that bullet exploded.
RFK had JFK's watch analyzed & learned mercury bullets were only used by the CIA at that time.
So in a way, there really was a "magic bullet" in the story, because it ended up killing both of them.
The photographers attitude is so upsetting.
He is actually revolting and disturbing. He and his ilk have caused many sufferings for people with some fame trying to just live a normal life at times and not be so ridiculously hounded for a photograph 😠
Beauty is more than looks it’s all of a bunch of things together when your beautiful because one’s impression of beauty is in the eyes of the beholder but she was brought up in all the finest schools circles and families something I would never know but that’s why she was considered a gorgeous lady she carried herself as a queen And she comes from women who did not shake as- ok lol
Carole Radziwill of new york housewives, lee's daughter in law, best friend to Jfk jr's wife...then again sonya morgan has a daughter with jp morgans son, lu anne de lesepps husband the french count who gave america the statue of liberty from france, same circles for all of time these folks...
Shouldn't have given him a part in this. That photographer hounded her ruthlessly and he's proud of it.
I did not know Jackie married a man her sister Lee had had an affair with.
I think she'd do almost anything for money and position. Her favorite position was on her back.
That's patently false. She married Onassis to keep her children safe.@@AFAskygoddess
Jackie was an excellent equestrian! 🥰🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
I had a patient ( also an equestrian) who had a framed portrait of Jackie jumping.
When I think of her gruesome, heartbreaking experience of having her husband's blood and brain matter in her hands and on her clothes. I feel awful for her.
11-16-22. Let’s keep it truthful. Jacqueline had her eyes on a married Washington Hostess husband. So she decided to throw a dinner party and invited one of Washington’s most eligible Bachelors-Jack Kennedy to thro Jackie off the trail of the hostess’s husband. AND IT WORK
What a horrible little man the photographer that caused so much stress to her and her children. He’s lucky because nowadays - even with a camera stuck in your face - it’s called stalking! An arrestable offence. Horrible little thorn in her life.
The killing of her husband directly in front of her was traumatic, terrible and enormously sad. And in this particular case, they probably really loved each other.
But people need to understand that (whether, for or against these dynasty families) within these 'high society' social ranking circles, 'suitable pairing is just another western name for 'arranged' marriage.
We see it now, From Charles and Diana to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West?!!!! Love no, not at all ...social and public relations.
R.I.P John & Jackie.
Her name was never “Princess Lee Radziwill” because she was not born a princess. When she was married to Prince Stanislaus Radziwill her name was Princess Stanislaus Radziwill the same as someone married to John Smith would be called Mrs. John Smith.
She was my favorite star.
Because of their Charmatic vibes! They were the royalties of the USA. 🎉🎉🎉
I remember Ron. He was disgusting and only wanted money from the pictures.
They got the stalker on the show???? Wtf? Anyway Jackie is soooo stunning and elegant and such a wonderful and deep complex person
Videos like this emphasise the shortness and limitations of human' life. Now we see them, now we don't.
I do NOT like how this photographer guy just basically admitted to STALKING Jackie. And HAPPILY, too!! 😡🤬😠 Good for her, though, at the end! She found her Joe (I'm a Switie) at the end! And she finally found her 🎶 Peace 🎶 at the end, too!! And her sister really looks like her, especially when she got older!! 😯
A lot of people were saying that Jackie was a very entitled and unpleasant person.
She was indiscreet and quite rude to The Queen , speaking publicly about how the decor of the Palace was shabby etc. A terrible way to treat any hostess, let alone a head of state of a friendly country.
@@ludovica8221 True !!!!!😑🇬🇧
@@ludovica8221 Ohhhh that's not very nice nor classy for anyone to say something negative about a person's home - even if it's true. I truly believe you can think whatever you like until it leaves your mouth.... Well, enough said. 😉
A woman who marries a US President has a big ego!
This same person then marries one of the wealthiest men in Greece ( Aristotle Onassis).
She must of been self-confident and highly intelligent ( she spoke Italian, French and Spanish) !
She was also self-serving and a strong willed person! She was raised to marry big money men!
@@kdtennis1 "self-serving" is an unattractive and undesirable quality whoever the person is
Never thought much of her sister, Lee.
Her personal assistant said Jackie was a very nice person. She was her personal assistant for 13 years. When she was older she wrote a book.
That paparazzi guy was despicable. Literally harassed Jackie and her kids.
I didn’t think she was so pretty her eyes were very far apart but she dresses well and spoke well
I didn't think she was pretty at all...
She was attractive ,when she first married John Kennedy! She was more known for being a super well dressed woman! Her clothes and style so impressive!
I'm GLAD SOMEONE FINALLY SAID THAT. HER EYES WERE FAR APART. BUT SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL AND PRESENTED HERSELF WELL. LOVED HER WARDROBE
Beauty in the eye of the beholder! She was more known for her foreign language skills ( she spoke Italian, French, and Spanish). She was also known for being a well dressed Senator''s wife!
She really became more well dressed after the marriage to Aristotle Onassis!
He gave her $20,000 a month ( according to several books)! She bought the best gowns, furs, jewelry,scarves, coats.
She could be rich, because she was no longer the wife of a US Government official!
She was so interesting, but cunning, self-serving and Jacqueline needed a man worth 500 Million ( the net worth of Aristotle Onassis)!
A top doctor or attorney could never afford the jet set spoiled woman and her super spoiled babies ( Caroline and John)!
She got a 25 Million Dollar Settlement from Christina Onassis!
She had 3 homes, once she settled in the United States from Greece! Caroline and John always had the best!
She died worth 70 Million! I bet you cannot compete with that big money!
It’s messed up how Jackie stole Lee’s man then left her out her will bc of money problems she wouldn’t have had if she didn’t steal her man!
1968 a year to remember
Please don't call the stalker a "photographer" - what a creep
She was constantly stalked..
