Narrative: For many, this name brings to mind Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis (1929-1994). She stepped into the international limelight when her husband, John F. Kennedy, was elected to the U.S. presidency in 1960.
The country was certainly unaccustomed to young, beautiful First Ladies, but she made an equally strong impression with the highly developed talents she brought to the job. After her husband's assasination in 1963, her courageous display of character inspired the world.
Her post-White House years were watched closely by an admiring public. Resuming a life-long interest in the printed word, she worked as an editor for a major publishing house from 1978 until her death.
