'Love Story': Inside Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’s Final Days
While Love Story is dedicated to chronicling the romance between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, the third episode of Ryan Murphy’s new FX series is devoted to another member of the Kennedy family. In “America’s Widow,†the narrative turns away from the couple, played by Paul Anthony Kelly and Sarah Pidgeon, and toward Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, portrayed by Naomi Watts, in the twilight of her life—learning of her cancer diagnosis, battling non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and eventually dying from the disease at age 64 on May 19, 1994.
By the 1990s, Onassis, born Jacqueline Lee Bouvier in 1929, had already lived a thousand lives. She’d been a socialite, a photographer, a fashion icon, a bereaved first lady, a shipping magnate’s wife, a book editor, and, most importantly, a mother of two: John F Kennedy Jr. and his elder sister, Caroline Kennedy. (Another daughter, Arabella, was stillborn; a second son, Patrick, died shortly after he was born in 1963.) While foxhunting in Virginia in November 1993, Onassis was thrown off a horse and was subsequently hospitalized. While she was in the hospital, doctors discovered a swollen lymph node in her groin, thought to be a result of an infection. By December, her condition had worsened—a pain in her abdomen had emerged as well as more swollen lymph nodes—and she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer that affects a type of white blood cells called lymphocytes.
The sweet moment Jackie Kennedy stumbled upon between son John F. Kennedy Jr. and Prince Philip
Prince Philip shared a quiet moment with John F. Kennedy Jr. in the days after his father's assassination. An anecdote about the Duke of Edinburgh and the nearly three-year-old son of the 35th president of the United States was shared by author Paul Brandus following the death of Queen Elizabeth's husband in 2021.
"The weekend of the Kennedy assassination, he flew to Washington for the funeral. At the White House on Sunday, Nov. 24, 1963, Jacqueline Kennedy was looking for John Jr. and opened the door to his playroom," Paul posted on X.
"There she found the Prince sprawled on the floor, playing and laughing with the murdered president's son," Paul continued. "Days from his 3d birthday, John had said earlier that he "didn't have anybody to play with" (also: "where's Daddy?") and her Majesty's husband decided that he would entertain the boy. RIP."
