Jackie: Public, Private, Secret by J. Randy Taraborrelli

Jackie: Public, Private, Secret

Randy paints an unforgettable new portrait of a woman whose flaws and contradictions only serve to make her even more iconic. “I have three lives,” Jackie told a former lover, “Public, Private and Secret.” In this revealing biography, readers will become intimately familiar with all three.

New insights from the book include: – Jackie’s cold feet before her wedding to Jack Kennedy and her secret plan to avoid moving into the White House with him.- Jackie’s plan to meet with the woman with whom her husband, Aristotle Onassis, was again having an affair, Maria Callas…and why, in the end, she decided against it.-

The truth about the nude photos of Jackie which scandalized her in the 1970s…and which family member had betrayed her by selling them.- Her unusual relationship with Maurice Templesman, which was never what outsiders believed it to be.- The never-before-reported, last-ditch efforts to save Jackie’s life with experimental cancer treatments, and the doctor who wouldn’t risk jail time in order to treat her.

Twenty-nine years after her death and sixty years after the assassination of President Kennedy, Jackie delivers the last word on one of the most famous women in the world.
