Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (1929–1994) served as First Lady of the United States from 1961 until 1963 and remains one of the most admired and influential figures in modern American history. Celebrated for her grace, intelligence, and dedication to historic preservation, she helped restore the White House and shaped the cultural image of the Kennedy administration. Following President Kennedy’s assassination, she became an enduring symbol of dignity and resilience.

Janet Lee Auchincloss (1907–1989) was a prominent American socialite and the mother of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. A highly influential figure in her daughter’s life, she encouraged Jacqueline’s interests in history, art, travel, and culture from an early age. Through her daughter, Janet became closely associated with one of America’s most storied political families and remained a trusted source of support throughout Jacqueline’s public and private life.
