You have seven women, all different walks of life, allen sheppards wife louise was very highbred. I think of her as the sabrina and audrey have removed character. She drew up as the gardeners daughter at longwould gardens and stayed on the east coast so when she met Jackie Kennedy she almost treated jackie like she was an old friend, they were two private school girls almost, getting to know each other.
