Jacqueline Lee Kennedy Onassis (née Bouvier ; July 28, 1929 – May 19, 1994), also known as Jackie Kennedy, and Jackie O following her second marriage, was the first lady of the United States from 1961 to 1963, as the wife of President John F. Kennedy. She was regarded as an international icon for her unique fashion choices, and her work as a cultural ambassador of the United States made her popular globally.
After studying history and art at Vassar College and graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in French literature from George Washington University in 1951, Bouvier started working for the Washington Times-Herald as an inquiring photographer. The following year, she met then-congressman John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts at a dinner party in Washington. He was elected to the Senate that same year, and the couple married on September 12, 1953, in Newport, Rhode Island. They had four children, two of whom died in infancy. Following her husband's election to the presidency in 1960, Kennedy was known for her highly publicized restoration of the White House and emphasis on arts and culture as well as for her style. She also traveled to many countries where her fluency in foreign languages and history made her very popular. At age 33, she was named Time magazine's Woman of the Year in 1962.
