She was Catholic by pedigree, but not sure if the faith dimension shaped her in the way it did her sisters by marriage: Ethel Kennedy, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, etc…who were famously quite devout.

From what little I know though, the former First Lady clearly had inner fortitude in spades because up till then (and with more tragedy to come later with Robert Kennedy etc…) she was able to stand before the public while experiencing everything from miscarriages to stillbirths and generational family dysfunction behind the scenes. Kudos to her priests and anyone who offered their spiritual support…

In many ways, Jackie’s era was actually less prayer-filled and “Christian” as a culture. Certainly in the way the public narrated or made sense of tragedy…

Jackie married a Greek billionaire, and lived out of wedlock to a Jewish book publisher.

Yeah she respected JFK.

I think having a rich inner life is very sustaining.

People who are always outward-focussed don’t seem to have the same resilience; they have less ability to get ‘out’ of the world and obtain a little respite.

This author; Randy Taraborelli, is an excellent writer of celebrity biography books. I have read several of his works.
Bio of Frank Sinatra, Bio of Michael Jackson, Bio of Diana Ross, Bio of Elizabeth Taylor.

These are not Bio books in the vein of Kitty Kelly, if you remember her. Kitty specialized in sleazy, toxic rumors.
Frank Sinatra hated her.

Time to roll out a series of articles about the Magic of Camelot and the awesome superiority of the Kennedy Family. Jack Schlossberg is running for office, and he needs all the help he can get.

Fed up with his philandering, Jackie secreted a spring gun up the sleeve of her pink suit coat, a .38 derringer.
When no one was looking she slapped her forearm, quickly popped him—right in the melon—then tried to escape over the Lincoln’s trunk where she was arrested by SS agent Clint Johnson.
True story jack.
