The Tragic Rift Between Jackie Kennedy and Her Sister | A Tale of Two Sisters | Real History

It is laughable to attempt to make EITHER of these women out to be something other than what they were ( incredibly shallow, selfish, status-seekers—who judged others not on their character, but on their wealth & social pedigree)….

Looking at their lives, one sees a wisp of potential — engulfed by a sea of unhappy, self-created waste….

It should be titled: The Bouviers.

Black Jack Bouvier, was a alcoholic , so much so he couldnt give Jackie away to be married.

Her “ breathless affectation” with her voice was so fake! Her sister was the most genuine of the two.

The only one that comes close to be "Jackie" is "Diana." That becomes an obsession in the public's eye.

I was glad that she went to work and not be concerned about husband but to have something to look forward. I believe with Aristotle's money and her job that was enough to not worry about money. Whatever she had for so many pictures and paparazzi there won't be another female like her except "Diana" became the next Jackie.

With all the tragedy she raised two remarkable children I believe her greatest achievements!

So lee’s first child was not a radziwill. If that ws Carole’s husband, she traded on the name

Lee was always envious of Jackie’s life. Jackie’s sense of style did not come from her father

Don’t be fooled. IMO. CIA murdered JFK, not Lee Harvey Oswald.

Though they made contributions in life, they were flawed: gold diggers. Sad

Jackie made it because she was pretty and classy because she definitely was not pretty. She was strange looking. Leigh was the pretty one.

Photographer is disgusting.

Ambitious socialites.

She left lee 2. Dollars and a don't give a f...😂

Cj she will always be a celebrity ❤❤❤❤

She put up with a lot. JFK was no paragon of fidelity.

Jackie looked just like her father

It's easy to be elegant and strong and proud and never ask anybody for anything if you're worth tens of millions of dollars and have assistants, maids, butlers, chefs, drivers, nannies, etc. You would be, too, if you had all of that.

Tragic rift huh.
Jealousy and envy. Neither was a bigger person and neither made the first move.

Lee envied everything Jackie was & had including her husband!

I can't believe Jackie and her kids were not escorted 24/7 by Secret Service agents!?

Guess what, Jackie must have been a real pain in the a....to her sister Lee - no doubt about that.

I HEARD JACKIE WAS REALLY JACK!

JFK smoked

This video was more an overview of Jackie's life, rather than an in-depth look at the rift between the sisters. I was hoping to learn more about that. I guess Jackie's appropriation of Onassis from Lee caused some of it, but I thought they eventually got past that. Then I heard that in her will, Jackie left nothing at all to Lee -- no money or even personal items!! That seems strange.

When you don’t marry for love your life becomes a tragedy

Lee was very pretty

Lees style was phenomenal. It’s a shame. I think if she’d started off smaller and learned a craft she could have tried something but she tried to be too big without the training.

Its too bad they were raised to be so competitive; esp neither one of them made good choices in life or husbands. The only thing Jackie seemed better then Lee was getting more money (though Lee was more then well off).

Thank you for sharing how beautiful life was i remember getting dressed up now people fly as if coming back from working TIMES HAVE CHANGED

Jackie suffered so many terrible losses! First the baby, then her beloved husband, then. RFK. 😢

They were both serial adulterers. Achieved nothing but celebrity!

Lee Radziwill was in the middle off making a documentary on her eccentric aunt  Edith Ewing Bouvier Beale,  (Big Edie, sister to jackie and Lee'sfather) and first cousin little Edie but it fell through so Albert and David Maysles took it over "Gray Gardens"
Fascinating documentary,  the true meaning "from riches to rags " and it was Jackie that helped get their lives back on track!

Her sister was prettier.

I read somewhere that she made an afreement with her FIL to not divorce his son and that she will give her money + will pay for all the clothes she wanted. This is when he was about to run for president. She wanted to leave the marriage n that will not look good.

She was so unattractive and quite unpleasant as well ,thank God for nice clothing

Jackie had only 2 things that Lee didn’t possess that made Jackie more famous than Lee. Lee was smart, but Jackie was brilliant, specifically, a brilliant political & social strategist, who knew what the public wanted, and worked harder than most of us will ever know to create, build & then maintain her public image.
But the 2nd thing that Jackie possessed that enabled her fame to outlast her famous marriages was the zeitgeist: she was born at the right time. Her lack of financial autonomy & insistence on making marrying rich her primary profession would not endear her to this generation of females like it did in her time.
It is Lee’s more fluid personality and work-horse ethic (very few people know how much she worked - real jobs) that this decade would find more appealing.

She was a brilliant strategist and understood what the public wanted - and not only did she give the public what it wanted but only what it wanted. At least until Bob Kennedy was murdered. Then she lost no time in finding a man powerful enough to protect her children, esp her son, from political danger. And had no qualms about using her looks, her charm, her status and yes, her sister’s connections to marry Onassis. I simply cannot understand how anyone can judge her personal life choices. God knows, she’s paid dearly for the choices that she’s made. Don’t we all?

At least she was spared the horror of her son’s death ( as well as his wife and her sister ) . I doubt she could have survived that kind of devastation. Not too many women had the steely resilience of her mother in law…Rose

She decided no longer to rely on others, after Onassis death??? Yeah, but not before ripping Onassis' only daughter of over $26mln after he'd died and left it all to his real family. Pathetic greedy businesswoman, just like her dad and in-law had taught her..

Blood doesn't make them family

Their relationship to me is similar to Queen Elizabeth and her sister Margaret. RIP to all.

This was one of the most riveting videos of Jackie O that I have ever seen...
Beautifully done ❤

What does bloody icon mean?, why are they calling this hungry for money icon?? This is sick , to me she was an average woman who married Kennedy that’s all. Stop calling her icon!!!

Mothers who set up their daughters to marry „Someone“ and keep pressuring with comparison belong to the past.
