And Jacqueline Bouvier on 11/27/1957. She spent the first few years of her life in the Georgetown area of ​​Washington, where her family lived. In January 1961, her father becomes president of America, and the family moves to the White House. During the presidency of John F. Kennedy, the media first gained access to the private life of the first person of the state.

Life in the White House

The Kennedy family was under close scrutiny of the press - many photographs of the president's family appeared in newspapers and magazines. Photos of Kennedy's only daughter, Caroline, became available to the public.

A photo where she plays with her brother John, rides a pony around the White House and vacations with her parents in Massachusetts. The Americans dubbed Caroline the "Princess of Camelot". In November 1963, a few days before Caroline's sixth birthday, her father was killed in Dallas at the age of 46.

After the tragedy

After this tragedy, their family settled in Manhattan, where they lived until 1968. In the same year, Kennedy's mother Carolyn - Jacqueline - marries Aristotle Onassis. For her children began new life. On weekends they flew to Puerto Rico and then returned to school in New York. Easter holidays were spent in the estate on the private island of Skorpios. Summer is at Grandma's in Newport. Onassis treated Jacqueline's children well, but there were always many photographs of their father in their room. The mother made sure that they remembered him.

When the children lived on Skorpios, she invited Pierre Salinger to talk about what their father was like and what he did during the presidency. Caroline and John, Salinger recalls, understood that the father was first and foremost a man, not a mythical creature. And he noted that their attitude towards their father as a historically important figure always had a healthy basis.

After the death of Onassis in 1975, the mother and children moved to New York. Caroline's younger brother, John, died in July 1999 in a crash on a plane he was flying. He was an experienced pilot, but the official version of his tragic death sounded like "pilot error in poor visibility."

Education and career

Kennedy Caroline received her primary education at Brearley School and Sacred Heart Catholic School for Girls. She continued her education in Massachusetts at Concord Academy, where she studied until 1975. Like all members of the Kennedy family, she entered the private Radcliffe College (part of Harvard), which she graduated in 1979. Then there was Columbia University, from where she graduated with a law degree in 1988.

Back at Harvard, Kennedy Caroline became interested in photography and worked as a photojournalist at the 76 Olympics in Innsbruck. She then worked as a photojournalist for the New York Daily News. Caroline has had a successful career as an editor and writer. She has been a constitutional author since the 1990s, publishing a series of best-selling collections of short stories and poetry.

Soon Kennedy Caroline realized that journalism was not her calling. In the early eighties, she left photography behind to practice law and social activities. Over the next twenty years, she published several journalistic works, worked as a prosecutor and was a member of the bar.

Family

In the early eighties, Caroline meets the talented designer Ed Schlossberg, who is 12 years older than her. Ed comes from a family of Jewish immigrants from Ukraine. Caroline - witty and educated, besides the only daughter of Jacqueline Kennedy, was the pride of her mother, who wanted only the best for her.

At first, Jacqueline was against the relationship between Caroline and Ed. But the daughter insisted on her own, and in 1986 the young people got married. The marriage turned out to be happy. Three children were raised by mutual consent in the Catholic faith, which includes Caroline Kennedy.

Children - a son and two daughters - were brought up in a liberal atmosphere. Educated in prestigious educational institutions. Eldest daughter Rose, born in 1988, graduated, like all Kennedys, from Harvard. He works as an operator and tries to lead a closed lifestyle. A photo of a girl accidentally became public in one of social networks when she got involved in a speeding scandal.

Daughter Tatyana, born in 1990, like her mother, decided to try her hand at journalism after graduating from Yale University. Son John, born in 1993, is named after the legendary grandfather. He studied at Yale University, a specialist in history. He is a member of the Democratic Party, participates in projects to protect sexual and national minorities. All three are actively involved in charitable projects.

Public life

In 1989, the Kennedy family initiated the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award, which is presented annually on the birthday of the 35th President of the United States.

The winners of the award are presented with a silver lamp, which symbolizes hope. It is made by the famous design and jewelry company Tiffany & Co. Caroline creates the Kennedy Library Foundation and the Harvard Institute of Politics (a memorial to her father John F. Kennedy). Caroline's father's biography has always been of interest, she actively takes part in films and programs dedicated to their family.

Political activity

Caroline Kennedy, writer and attorney, served from 2002 to 2004 with the New York City Department of Education. At this time, she writes several more books. In 2008, Caroline performed at presidential elections in support of Barack Obama. Participates actively in the election race.

After Obama's victory, she claims a seat in the Senate. But Caroline was heavily criticized because she had never previously sought public office and had very powerful supporters. And in 2009, she withdraws her candidacy. Supports the Democratic Party, like the entire Kennedy family. In 2013, she was appointed US Ambassador Extraordinary to Japan.

Jacqueline Kennedy went down in history not only as the wife of the 35th American president, but also as one of the most stylish and elegant women of the twentieth century. The first lady has become a real legend in the United States, and some facts of her biography indicate that she deserves no less attention than John F. Kennedy.

Prior to her marriage, Jacqueline Bouvier worked as a newspaper journalist. IN adulthood Jacqueline returned to this profession again: after the death of her two husbands, she worked as an editor at Viking Press and Doubleday.

Jacqueline Bouvier was well educated and erudite. IN early age she wrote essays and poems that were published in local newspapers. When asked what kind of people she would like to be acquainted with, Jacqueline replied: Oscar Wilde, Charles Baudelaire and Sergei Diaghilev.

Jacqueline Kennedy twice had to lose children: in 1956 her daughter was born dead, in 1963 her son died two days after birth. Two children survived - Caroline and John F. Kennedy Jr.

Jacqueline received an Emmy honorary award for rebuilding the White House. The First Lady collected the best examples of American art and furniture from all over the United States and placed them in the White House.

Jackie Kennedy meekly endured her husband's numerous novels, only one gave her real concern - Marilyn Monroe seriously hoped to take her place.

On the day of the assassination of the 35th President of the United States, Jackie was wearing a pink wool suit. He was spattered with blood, but the First Lady refused to change clothes "so they could see what they did to Jack".

Jacqueline was first lady for a little over 1,000 days, after the Kennedy assassination she wore mourning for five years. Then she married the Greek billionaire Aristotle Onassis. Their marriage was a deal of sorts: the 62-year-old tycoon offered her marriage to take a place in America's high society, where he had a business, and in exchange she received financial independence and long-awaited security.

Jacqueline Kennedy was rightfully considered a style icon. She was never involved in scandals and did not attract the attention of the public with candid photo shoots, unlike her star rival Marilyn Monroe. Only once did her racy photos get into a magazine - in 1972 she was sunbathing topless on her husband's private island and was caught off guard by the paparazzi.

Jackie Kennedy was an avid traveler. As First Lady she traveled to France, Austria, Greece, Italy, India and Pakistan. She had a great interest in other cultures, she could speak several foreign languages including French, Spanish and Italian. Jacqueline was respected by the mighty of the world this. Nikita Khrushchev gave her one of Strelka's puppies, a dog that had been in space.

For 40 years, she smoked three packs a day. She quit smoking after she was diagnosed with cancer in early 1994, but it was too late - in May 1994, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis died at the age of 64. Less was said about her death than about the assassination of John F. Kennedy - naturally they cause a greater resonance.

One of the most famous clans in the world can rightfully be considered the Kennedy family. To date, its head is the daughter of the ex-president of the United States - Caroline Kennedy. The woman has achieved a lot in life, and now she has great responsibilities to the country.

How it all began

The way the members of the Kennedy family lived and live can cause a feeling of envy in many. They are the embodiment of the so-called American dream. This family is from Ireland. At the start of the last century, the Kennedys were able to achieve a good financial condition. Step by step, they made progress in both public and political life.

The ancestor of the famous clan can be called Caroline's grandfather, whose name was Joseph Patrick Kennedy. He was a very versatile person. The man greatly succeeded in politics, becoming an adviser to the head of state Franklin Roosevelt. In addition, Joseph made a fortune through the illegal sale of alcohol during the Prohibition period, which was practiced in the 30s. He was also lucky to have big family. Soon after he legalized his relationship with a girl from the Boston beau monde named Rosa Fitzgerald, he became father of many children. Thus, the number of his heirs was nine. Note that the most famous of his children were John and Robert. They both chose political careers for themselves. John became a senator of Massachusetts, and later the 35th president of the country. Robert served as Attorney General of the United States.

Daughter of the leader of the country

She was born on November 27, 1957. The girl's parents - the famous president and his wife Jacqueline Bouvier, during this period were married for 4 years. Caroline was not the first child in the family. In 1956, the first-born appeared in the family - a girl named Arabella, but she died as a baby. It is worth noting that of all the heirs of John F. Kennedy, only two survived - Caroline and her brother John, who was born in 1960.

In those years when he was in office of the head of state (1961-1963), Caroline Kennedy and John Kennedy Jr. were under the "sight" of the media as the first and main American family. Experts say that it was from this family that a special attitude began both to the president of the country and to his relatives. This trend has continued in America to this day. This is due to the incredible charisma and versatility of the personality of John Sr., as well as the fact that for the first time in history, the press had access to the private life of the president of the country. In addition, the fact that his heirs were so young at that time became important here. This caused even greater goodwill of the people to the leader of the state.

Crucial moment

When the infamous Dallas shootings took place in 1963, Kennedy's daughter Caroline and members of her family moved to Manhattan. It was there that Jacqueline and her children lived until 1968. Caroline studied at the best New York elite schools, as well as at an educational institution in Massachusetts. As soon as she received her secondary education, she became a student at Harvard. This is not surprising, because studying at this university was a tradition of the entire famous clan. Starting in 1968 (at that time her mother became the wife of a famous billionaire from Greece named Aristotle Onassis), Caroline Kennedy began to travel a lot around the world, nevertheless, the girl still spent most of her time in New York.

Photographic activity

Until a certain time, Caroline did not get involved in politics. This was surprising to those around him, given the scope of the Kennedy family members. After receiving a Harvard diploma, for some time the girl was fond of photography. She got a position as a photojournalist and worked at the Olympics. After that, she became a photojournalist in famous American publications. The editors were very willing to publish photos of Caroline Kennedy on the pages of their newspapers.

Contribution to the public

In 1980, the genes nevertheless made themselves felt. Caroline abandoned photography and began to try herself in public sphere. Over the next 20 years, she was active in life hometown: she became the author of a number of articles, proved herself as a lawyer, worked as a prosecutor, created several charitable foundations.

Like the rest of the Kennedy family, Caroline does not change her Political Views supporting the Democratic Party in all elections.

In 2008, Caroline took part in the election campaign of Barack Obama. Soon she tried to build her own political career. To do this, she asked the governor of the state to introduce her as a possible candidate for a position in the Senate, which was empty due to the departure of Hillary Clinton. But this did not give a positive result - the governor approved another person for this position.

Caroline's political career did not end there. In 2013, she was appointed US Ambassador to Japan.

To date, the daughter of a famous president is married. She married Edwin Schlossberg back in 1986. The couple have three children: two daughters and a son. Daughter Rose was born in 1988, Tatiana - in 1990, and the only son named John was born in 1993. It remains to be seen what career path Caroline's children will take. Perhaps they will follow in the footsteps of their ancestors and opt for politics. In the meantime, they try themselves in various fields.

Caroline Bouvier Kennedy(English) Caroline Bouvier Kennedy, genus. November 27 ( 19571127 ) listen)) is an American writer and lawyer, daughter of John and Jacqueline Kennedy.

Biography

In the summer of 2013, she was appointed US Ambassador to Japan. This appointment drew criticism from US presidential candidate Donald Trump, who in August 2015 said that Kennedy received the post only because of her connections and because she asked to be appointed to this position.

Personal life

Caroline is the only living child of the Kennedys. Her younger brother, John, died in 1999. Her other brother, Patrick, died just two days after a premature birth on August 9, 1963. Caroline has been married to Edwin Schlossberg since 1986. The couple has three children.

Excerpt characterizing Kennedy, Caroline

Some of the closest relatives still remained. They sat in a large living room. Prince Vasily walked up to Pierre with lazy steps. Pierre got up and said that it was already late. Prince Vasily looked at him sternly inquiringly, as if what he said was so strange that it was impossible to hear. But after that, the expression of severity changed, and Prince Vasily pulled Pierre down by the arm, sat him down and smiled affectionately.
- Well, Lelya? - he immediately turned to his daughter with that careless tone of habitual tenderness, which is acquired by parents who caress their children from childhood, but which Prince Vasily was only guessed by imitating other parents.
And he again turned to Pierre.
“Sergey Kuzmich, from all sides,” he said, unbuttoning the top button of his waistcoat.
Pierre smiled, but it was evident from his smile that he understood that it was not the anecdote of Sergei Kuzmich that interested Prince Vasily at that time; and Prince Vasily realized that Pierre understood this. Prince Vasily suddenly murmured something and left. It seemed to Pierre that even Prince Vasily was embarrassed. The sight of the embarrassment of this old man of the world touched Pierre; he looked back at Helen - and she seemed to be embarrassed and said with a look: "well, you yourself are to blame."
“I must inevitably step over, but I can’t, I can’t,” thought Pierre, and spoke again about an outsider, about Sergei Kuzmich, asking what this anecdote consisted of, since he did not catch it. Helen replied with a smile that she didn't know either.
When Prince Vasily entered the drawing room, the princess spoke quietly to the elderly lady about Pierre.
- Of course, c "est un parti tres brillant, mais le bonheur, ma chere ... - Les Marieiages se font dans les cieux, [Of course, this is a very brilliant party, but happiness, my dear ... - Marriages are made in heaven,] - answered elderly lady.
Prince Vasily, as if not listening to the ladies, went to a far corner and sat down on the sofa. He closed his eyes and seemed to be dozing. His head was about to fall, and he woke up.
- Aline, - he said to his wife, - allez voir ce qu "ils font. [Alina, look what they are doing.]
The princess went up to the door, walked past it with a significant, indifferent air, and peered into the drawing-room. Pierre and Helen also sat and talked.
“All the same,” she answered her husband.
Prince Vasily frowned, wrinkled his mouth to the side, his cheeks jumped up and down with his usual unpleasant, rude expression; Shaking himself, he got up, threw back his head, and with resolute steps, past the ladies, went into the little drawing-room. With quick steps, he joyfully approached Pierre. The prince's face was so unusually solemn that Pierre stood up in fright when he saw him.
- God bless! - he said. My wife told me everything! - He hugged Pierre with one arm, his daughter with the other. - My friend Lelya! I'm very, very happy. - His voice trembled. - I loved your father ... and she will be a good wife to you ... God bless you! ...
He hugged his daughter, then again Pierre and kissed him with a foul-smelling mouth. Tears really wet his cheeks.
“Princess, come here,” he shouted.
The princess came out and wept too. The old lady also wiped herself with a handkerchief. Pierre was kissed, and several times he kissed the hand of the beautiful Helen. After a while they were left alone again.
“All this should have been so and could not have been otherwise,” thought Pierre, “therefore, there is nothing to ask, is it good or bad? Good, because definitely, and there is no former painful doubt. Pierre silently held his bride's hand and looked at her beautiful breasts rising and falling.
- Helen! he said aloud and stopped.
"Something special is said in these cases," he thought, but he could not remember what exactly they say in these cases. He looked into her face. She moved closer to him. Her face reddened.
“Ah, take off these… like these…” she pointed to the glasses.
Pierre took off his glasses, and his eyes, in addition to the general strangeness of the eyes of people who took off their glasses, his eyes looked frightened and inquiring. He wanted to bend over her hand and kiss her; but with a quick and rough movement of her head she caught hold of his lips and brought them together with hers. Her face struck Pierre with its changed, unpleasantly bewildered expression.
“Now it’s too late, it’s all over; Yes, and I love her, thought Pierre.
- Je vous aim! [I love you!] – he said, remembering what had to be said in these cases; but these words sounded so poor that he felt ashamed of himself.
