Unheard Jackie O Interview Surfaces

1964 chat with Schlesinger will be published.

Forty-six years after Jackie Kennedy, then a new widow and former first lady, sat down to be interviewed by historian Arthur Schlesinger, the six-and-a-half hours of tape and transcripts will be released. In her breathy voice, she talked about her marriage, her time as first lady, and even the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Her daughter, Caroline Kennedy, will be the book’s editor and write an introduction.
