5 things you probably didn't know about Jackie Kennedy Onassis
Before Jackie graced the halls of the White House, she trod those of this very magazine, where she was hired as a junior editor at the age of 21. From a field of 1,279 candidates, the George Washington University graduate was chosen to work six months in’s Manhattan offices and six in Paris after winning the magazine’s Prix de Paris essay competition in 1951.
She was not only the force behind the preservation of Grand Central Station and Lafayette Square in Washington D.C., but the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Temple of Dendur was also saved by her. Aware of the museum’s ongoing efforts to raise emergency funds for UNESCO to salvage Nubian monuments that would otherwise be destroyed by the Aswan Dam, the first lady persuaded the president to get the United States to generously support the cause.
Ever mindful of the power of the media and her husband’s legacy, Jackie helped coin the characterization of his roughly 1,000 days in office as Camelot. Not even a week after President Kennedy was killed, she invited journalist Theodore H. White, who was writing a piece about the assassination formagazine, to her home in Hyannis Port.
