Of A Tour of the White House (1962) hosted by Jacqueline Kennedy, Pablo Larraín said: "When I saw the White House tour, I couldn't stop watching it. It said so much about Jackie, and who she would become. I knew we had to add it to the film. She hadn't been on television before in that way, and it wasn't something she enjoyed, but John encouraged her to do it, in part because she'd been wrongly criticized for spending taxpayer dollars on the renovation, even though it was done with private funding. Yet, she was amazing, giving the tour in such a compelling way." Indeed, Jackie emphasized in her presentation that she felt the White House should not be thought of merely as the home and workplace of the President, but as a showcase for American history, art culture, and a place of national pride.
