Jackie always behaved with a great deal of dignity -- something we *never* see anymore.

As for Ari, my understanding is that he had the manners of a pig and a mouth like a sailor -- must have picked it up around the docks Of course she married him for the money -- that was never a secret, not even to Ari. He wanted the prestige she would bring to the union. She loved clothes and an elegant lifestyle for herself and her children. Despite what anyone tries to convince him/herself, it takes a good deal of money to dress well -- the quirky, vintage store look wouldn't have worked for her.

Why she's noteworthy ( to partially answer someone's earlier post about why she was famous)...

Jackie practically won John's second Presidential term. She vigorously campaigned for his reelection ( and I believe she was having a difficult pregnancy during this time, someone else can check whether this part is correct) because John's campaign managers knew Jackie's worth. She really pulled in the votes.

She was a national treasure with foreign relations/policy. Fluent in at least French and possibly other languages as well, she was a great communicator.

Most importantly ( and she would have agreed with this), she was a FANTASTIC mother. Her kids came first ALWAYS.

One of the most unique and fascinating people in history imo. Her face was unlike anybody I've ever seen. When I was younger I thought she was ugly but now I see that she was a real beauty. Something about her look screamed elegance and sophistication. And her style is the best ever! I wish I could raid her closet. She seemed like such a strong and intelligent woman. She's one of those people in history I would love to have dinner with for a night.

Here's it as an 80x80...

I just loved her style in the 70's...very very cool. I'm going to try and find more pictures from this decade.

I agree with most of it, especially that it does take money to dress like she did.

Umm, JFK was killed in 1963, 3 years into his first presidential term. He died before ever having the chance to campaign for his second presidential term, nevermind actually winning it.
So I doubt anyone can give Jackie credit for winning an election that never took place.

But you have to agree that she had a great impact on his first capaign!
And that she helped him won the presidency!
