“1. 4. 6 Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis

She was born July 28th 1929 as first child of John Vernou Bouvier 3. and his wife Janet Norton Lee. She had a younger sister Caroline Lee Bouvier. She spent her early years in New York at the Bouvier family estate „Lasata“". She became at a very early age an accomplished equestrienne, a sport that would remain a lifelong passion. As a child, she also enjoyed drawing, reading and lacrosse. This idyllic childhood came to an end when her parents divorced in 1940. Her father never remarried but her mother married with Hugh D. Auchincloss jr. and with him she had two childern, Janet and James. Jacquelin and Lee then leved with their mother’s new family, but they often visited their father.

She was educated at selective schools such as the Holton-Arms School and Miss Porter's School. She spent two years in France at the University Grenoble and Sobornne. Upon returning home to the United States she transferred to the George Washington University. She graduated in 1951 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in French Literature.

Jacqueline and John Kennedy were in the same social circle, they formally introduced in May 1952. John was then busy running for a seat at the U.S. Senate. They began dating sporadically and after he was elected senator in November. The relationship grew more serious and eventually led to a proposal. Their engagement was officially announced on 25. June 1953. They were married on September 12th 1953 at St. Mary's Church,. The wedding was considered the social event of the season with an estimated 700 guests at the ceremony and 900 at the lavish reception that followed at Hammersmith Farm.

Following a honeymoon the couple settled in McLean in Virginia. Behind all the glamour, however, not all was easy. Jacqueline found it hard to adjust to the demands of political life and the pressure put on her by the Kennedy family. Her husband was a notorious womanizer and marriage did not change his ways. He also had serious health issues. Jacqueline gave birth to a stillborn baby girl in 1956. All these events put considerable strain on the marriage and led to a brief separation. However, the couple reconciled and made a fresh start.

In January 1960, John announced his candidacy for President of the United States, and began campaigning around the country. Jacqueline took an active role in the campaign. Shortly after Kennedy announced his presidential run, Jacqueline learned that she was pregnant and her doctor instructed her to stay at home. From Georgetown, Jacqueline helped her husband by answering thousands of campaign letters, taping TV commercials, giving interviews and by writing a weekly newspaper column.."
