The role of Jacqueline Kennedy is unlike any other, it is also one any actress would approach with serious trepidation. After all, Jackie Kennedy has long been high on lists of the Most Admired American Women of all time. Following in the tradition of Abigail Adams and Eleanor Roosevelt, she was a First Lady who seemed to capture the spirit of the times, but Jackie also stood apart. Her contradictions were scintillating. With her degree in French literature she had an aristocratic, scholarly side, but she also had an unerring popularity and trend-setting sense of style. She carried herself with a shy, traditionalism, but with her cool self-possession, she also seemed to mesh with the growing new television culture. Just thirty-one when John F. Kennedy was sworn in as President of the U.S., she was so young, and seemingly so much an emblem of a change-driven, hopeful new world, it was impossible to imagine her as a widow.
