HORST, HORST P. (1906-1999)
Portrait of Jacqueline Bouvier [Kennedy].

  • Notes: From the collection of Jay Mulvaney, who was executive producer of "Kennedy Weddings" for Lifetime TV. He also wrote extensively about Jacqueline Kennedy, including "Kennedy Weddings: A Family Album" and "Jackie: The Clothes of Camelot."


    Upon graduation from college, Jacqueline Bouvier was hired as the "Inquiring Camera Girl" for The Washington-Times Herald. In addition to conducting witty interviews with members of polite society and the political elite she also took photographic portraits, which were published in the newspaper. In 1952 she met John Kennedy, who was running for a U.S. Senate seat. They began dating sporadically after he was elected senator in November of the same year. Their engagement was officially announced on June 25, 1953 (perhaps the occasion for this portrait), and they were married on September 12, 1953, at St. Mary''s Church in Newport, Rhode Island.
