Jackie - Behind the Myth

Summary: I look up to Jackie Kennedy
Review: I admit it....I am a consumate collector of Jackie Kennedy books, magazines, and videos. I have all videos that are available, including all the are listed here at amazon.com. Don't get me wrong: all of these videos are wonderful windows to the past, and I recommend that you have these for your collection as well. However, this video has something special..something difficult to describe. I believe it captures the "feeling" and esssense of Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. This video strives to make Mrs. Onassis alive and a vivid, living person who sustained unspeakable tragedies. To be able to carry on and raise two wonderful children after seeing her husbands head explode is a testament to her inner strength and courage. I admire(d) her enourmously even though I, like so many of you, was born after President Kennedy's murder in Dallas. I have watched and re-watched this video many times and have yet to tire of it. So many people who were friends and business associates speak glowingly of her and her times and accomplishments. We need another Jackie Kennedy today in this ungracious world of ours and this video serves to prove that need. Buy this video.....I promise you will not regret it.

Summary: The embodiment of the term First Lady
Review: I just saw this video on PBS and was incredibly moved. I have always admired her strength, intelligence, style, and devotion to her children, all of which is represented in the video. It is particulary strong in demonstrating just how committed she was in bringing the arts to the White House and to the American people. It was stunning and thought-provoking when one of the commentators on the video stated that Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was the last public figure to champion the arts.

The incredible wealth of footage and newsreels combined with the interviews with friends and colleagues provide a sensitive, warm tribute to one of our country's most special and respected women.

Summary: BEST JACKIE FILM EVER
Review: The writer/producer of the film has completed an in depth view of Jacqueline as a wonderful book editor. Read 'Jackie Beyond the Myth of Camelot' if you wish to discover all the authors Jackie edited. Book includes Peter, Beard, Louis Auchincloss, Peter Sis, dancers Martha Graham, Judith Jamison, Balanchine, and Edvard Radzinsky, and over forty fascinating authors, poets, photographers, and artists.

Summary: The embodiment of the term First Lady
Review: This is a great video. It shows many rare clips I'd never seen before. Though I'd already read a few books on Jackie I still learned new info. Covers her life from birth to death (not just the presidency years). I highly recommend it for both ardent fans, and people just learning about her.
