Many of us knowJackie Kennedyas the former First Lady of the United States.
But before she took on the title, Jackie O. had a unique, often overlooked past.
Jackie O. became inseparable from her camera.
It was her companion when she took some forbidden pictures of a government building in Vienna.
And eventually, she ended up interviewing John F. Kennedy.
Kennedy also questioned people about everything from politics to pop culture.
Despite the general outlook at the time, Kennedy wasn’t initially interested in marriage.
And despite how everything went down, she didn’t regret her decision.
Despite being a prominent figure at the time, Kennedy didn’t want special treatment.
She attended meetings, queued for the copier, and made her own coffee.
However, Jackie O. quit two years later when they published “Shall We Tell the President?”
a novel about the assassination of her brother-in-law, Ted Kennedy.
She later joined Doubleday as a senior editor.
There, Kennedy worked on several iconic projects and earned a reported $100,000 a year.
She convinced Michael Jackson to create his ghost-written autobiography “Moon Walk.”
