Jacqueline "Jackie O" Kennedy was my favorite First Lady to research. She has become a fashion icon, and is still referenced as you can see in the Vogue magazine comparison to actress Katie Holmes. Jackie most notable project was her White House Restoration Project. I love being able to include a copy of her video. If you watch you can hear how breathy and shallow her voice is. When most people think of an iconic breathy voice they think of Marilyn Monroe... but Jackie had quite the breathy voice as well! By today's standard this would be a detriment to a woman speaker, but in her time it made her more feminine sounding. This video is special because it is one of the few verbal acts of communication Mrs. Kennedy participated in. She refused most interviews. I wanted to include pictures of John F. Kennedy's funeral because of the influence Jackie had on the nation. She did not break down in front of examples, but instead exemplified strength and courage. Also included is her son saluting her husband's casket by her prompting. Jackie understood how powerful this nonverbal gesture would be in coveying strength of their family and encouraging the strength of the nation.
