"There will never be another Camelot" -JBKO

It was announced over the weekend that the 8 hour miniseries about the Kennedy Family that was set the air on the History Channel this Spring now will not.  There were not a lot of details released only that the History Channel decided that this version of the legendary clan did not fit in well with its brand, however rumors have been swirling over the weekend that Caroline Kennedy was not happy with the interpretation and lobbied to have it pulled.  With Katie Holmes playing Jackie, I was curious to see if she could pull off her breathless voice and innate style on screen (Truthfully, I am more than a little doubtful...) Until then, here are some photographs of the former first lady to tide me over until Darren Aronofsky releases his version with Rachel Weisz.

I've never seen this before!

Taken during her trip to India.  Loved her wardrobe here - shimmery fabrics and lots of PINK! (From Life images)

I love how relaxed and happy she looks here.  This was taken in her Georgetown home in 1959. (Image from dailydivadish.com


If you are looking for a biography of Jackie, I have read several and found Sarah Bradford's America's Queen: A Life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to be by far the best.  You can purchase it here:
