Never before seen photographs of them Presiden tJohn F. Kennedy and his wife, First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy, have been put up for bidding.
“They’re amazing pictures,” says Jackie Style author Pamela Keogh. “These were the masters of the universe in their downtime, sitting on beach chairs, smoking and eating clam chowder. Jack is not in perfect shape and Jackie’s wearing a bathing suit your mother might have worn. This is not Jackie in French couture. They don’t even look like they know they were being photographed.”
So casual that Jackie didn’t seem to mind being photographed with a cigarette that weekend. “She never wanted the general public to know she smoked,” says Clint Hill, who was Jacqueline Kennedy’s personal body guard . “If someone came around when she was smoking, she’d pass it to me so it looked like it was my cigarette.”
