Delve into one of the most prominent families in American politics and society: the Kennedys. This series consists of three 40-minute stand-alone documentaries, starting with an exploration of JFK, the man behind the myth; then continues with the legacy of RFK and his unrealized presidency; and concludes the life of the former First Lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis as it intertwined with that of her sister's, Lee Radziwill.
Then-Sen. John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts married Jacqueline Lee Bouvier on this day in history, Sept. 12, 1953, in Newport, Rhode Island. Over 800 guests attended the church ceremony.
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis died on this day in history, May 19, 1994. The former first lady was a style icon and talented in her own right; she unwaveringly supported husband John Kennedy's ideals.
