Jackie Kennedy Onassis from 0 to 64

Jacqueline Lee "Jackie" Kennedy Onassis (July 28, 1929 - May 19, 1994) was an American socialite, writer, and photographer who became First Lady of the United States as the wife of President John F. Kennedy. The couple had four children, two of whom died in infancy. Following her husband's election to the presidency in 1960, Jackie was known for her highly publicized restoration of the White House and emphasis on arts and culture, as well as for her style and devotion to her children.
After the assassination and funeral of her husband, Jackie and her children largely withdrew from public view. In 1968, she married Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, which replaced her popular image with one of materialism. Following Onassis's death in 1975, she had a career as a book editor in New York City, and worked to restore her popular image.
In November 1993, Jackie was thrown from her horse while participating in a fox hunt in Middleburg, Virginia, and was taken to the hospital to be examined. A swollen lymph node was discovered in her groin, which was initially diagnosed by the doctor to be caused by an infection. The fall from the horse contributed to her deteriorating health over the next six months. In December, Jackie was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. She began chemotherapy in January 1994 but by May was deemed terminal. She died in her sleep in her Manhattan apartment on May 19, 1994 at age 64.
