Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

• Oct 11, 2010 from JohnnyX87(Johnny A)
  Early life
  Jacqueline Lee Bouvier was born in Southampton, New York, to Wall Street stock broker John Vernou Bouvier III and Janet Norton Lee. Jacqueline had a younger sister, Caroline Lee, known as Lee, born in 1933. Her parents divorced in 1940 and her mother married Standard Oil heir Hugh D. Auchincloss, Jr. in 1942. Through Janets second marriage, Jacqueline gained a half sister and a half brother, Janet and James Auchincloss.
  Her mothers family, the Lees, were mostly of Irish descent, and her father, John Vernou Bouvier III was three-sixteenths French and the remainder English. Michel Bouvier, Jacquelines great-great-grandfather, was born in France and was a contemporary of Joseph Bonaparte and Stephen Girard. He was a Philadelphia-based cabinetmaker, merchant and real estate speculator.[citation needed] Michels wife, Louise Vernou was the daughter of John Vernou, a French migr tobacconist and Elizabeth Clifford Lindsay, an American born woman. Jacquelines grandfather, John Vernou Bouvier Jr., fashioned a more noble ancestry for his family in his vanity family history book Our Forebears. Recent scholarship and the research done by Jacquelines cousin, John H. Davis, in his book The Bouviers: portrait of an American family have disproved most of these fantasy lineages.
  She spent her early years in New York City and East Hampton, New York at the Bouvier family estate, Lasata.[citation needed] Following their parents divorce, Jacqueline and Lee divided their time between their mothers homes in McLean, Virginia and Newport, Rhode Island and their fathers homes in New York City and Long Island.
  At a very early age she became an enthusiastic equestrienne, and horse-riding would remain a lifelong passion. As a child, she also enjoyed drawing, reading and lacrosse.[citation needed]
  Education and young adulthood
  Bouvier pursued her secondary education at the Holton-Arms School in Bethesda, Maryland (19421944) and Miss Porters School in Farmington, Connecticut (19441947).[citation needed]
  When she made her society debut in 1947, Hearst columnist Igor Cassini dubbed her Debutante of the Year.
  Bouvier spent her first two years of college at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York, and spent her junior year (19491950) in France at the University of Grenoble and the Sorbonne in a program through Smith College. Upon returning home to the United States, she transferred to George Washington University in Washington, D.C., graduating in 1951 with a bachelor of arts degree in French literature. Bouviers college graduation coincided with her sisters high school graduation, and the two spent the summer of 1951 on a trip through Europe. This trip was the subject of Kennedys only autobiographical book, One Special Summer, which is also the only one of her publications to feature her drawings.
  Following her graduation, Bouvier was hired as the Inquiring Photographer for The Washington Times-Herald. The position required her to pose witty questions to individuals chosen at random on the street and take their pictures to be published alongside selected quotations from their responses in the newspaper. During this time, she was engaged to a young stock broker, John Husted, for three months.
  Kennedy marriage and family
  Jacqueline Kennedy at Hammersmith Farm in Newport, Rhode Island on the day of her wedding in 1953.
  Jacqueline and then-Senator John Kennedy belonged to the same social circle and often attended the same functions. In May 1952, at a dinner party organized by mutual friends, they were formally introduced for the first time. The two began dating soon afterward, and their engagement was officially announced on June 25, 1953.
  Bouvier married Kennedy on September 12, 1953, at St. Marys Church in Newport, Rhode Island in a Mass celebrated by Bostons Archbishop Richard Cushing. An estimated 700 guests attended the ceremony and 1,200 attended the reception that followed at Hammersmith Farm.
  The wedding cake was created by Plourdes Bakery in Fall River, Massachusetts. The wedding dress, now housed in the Kennedy Library in Boston, Massachusetts, and the dresses of her attendants were created by designer Ann Lowe of New York City.
  The two honeymooned in Acapulco, Mexico, and settled in McLean, Virginia.
  Jacqueline suffered a miscarriage in 1955 and gave birth to a stillborn baby girl in 1956. That same year, the couple sold their estate, Hickory Hill to Robert and Ethel Kennedy and moved to a townhouse on N Street in Georgetown. Kennedy subsequently gave birth to a second daughter, Caroline, in 1957, and a son, John, in 1960, both via Caesarian section.

The best and worst of TIFF 2010

• Sep 18, 2010 from nationalpost(National Post) in *
  By Nathalie Atkinson, Vanessa Farquharson, Brad Frenette, Shinan Govani, Ben Kaplan, Chris Knight, Melissa Leong, Mark Medley, Katherine Monk, Maryam Siddiqi, Jay Stone and Bob Thompson
  Biggest regret
  Twice in the span of an hour I had the chance to speak with Natalie Portman, and twice I chickened out. M.M.
  Best round-table quote
  If you look at my wifes boobs, youll see that she doesnt need a boob job. Josh Brolin (whose wife is Diane Lane). C.K.
  Biggest buck-bang at TIFF
  The second annual Cinema Against AIDS gala, which brought all kinds of social orbits, and raised more than $1-million for charity. S.G.
  Ugliest moment
  Documentary filmmaker raids gift suite and asks assistant to lift $400 bag without saying a word of thanks. K.M.
  Most goose-bumpy moment at TIFF
  Attending Colin Firths 50th birthday bash at Grey Goose/Soho House here, and coincidentally sitting in front of him when he blew out his (nine) birthday candles. S.G.
  HandoutCatherine Deneuve and her Famous handbag by Swarovski.
  Most confusing moment for manners
  Sitting with Catherine Deneuve when the contents of her purse fell out on the floor. My first impulse was to help pick up her stuff, then realized it would be far more polite to let her have handbag privacy and pretended not to notice. K.M.
  Best comparison
  Turning around in a coffin was like what I imagine crowning would feel like. You were being shot out into another part of the world for a second; it feels strange, it feels like it shouldnt be happening but youre kind of glad that it did. Buried star Ryan Reynolds. M.L.
  Second best comparison
  Calling Buried a horror film is like calling Friday the 13th a sports movie because Jason wears a hockey mask. screenwriter Chris Sparling. M.L.
  Best interview moment
  Talking baseball with Robert Redford. B.F.
  Most gluttonous party
  The opening night party at the Liberty Grand was bad for the waistline: pizza, chicken Caesar salad, poutine, hot dogs with all the fixings, mini-burgers, chicken wings, shrimp skewers, candy popcorn. And yes, I tried them all. M.M.
  Chuck ZlotnickJames Franco in 127 Hours.
  Most unexpected (but welcome) snack
  At Sunday nights screening of 127 Hours, Pizza Nova had people handing out free slices as the line surged forward into the Ryerson Theatre. Though I felt guilty, as I was about to watch a movie about a guy stuck under a rock with little food or water. C.K.
  Best anecdote
  We were debating the ending of the film. The producers wanted one ending, I wanted a different one. Was it going to be a happy or pessimistic ending? I had a bad back from carrying the camera I was getting a massage in Mexico. I was contemplating how the film should finish and, in the middle of the massage, the woman leaned over to my ear and whispered: Happy ending? Gareth Edwards, director of Monsters. M.L.
  Biggest fashion doc disappointment
  LAmour Fou, the documentary about Yves Saint Laurent. Its no Unzipped. Its not even Valentino: The Last Emperor. N.A.
  Cutest moment
  Martin Sheen asks to borrow some water, rubs it on his hands, steps behind the bar at Proof and very casually pats his hair down: Thats better! K.M.
  Worst movie
  John Carpenters The Ward, about a teenage girl sent to an insane asylum, suffered from a terrible script, laughably bad performances and uninspired direction. John Carpenter cancelled his press obligations, citing jury duty, so thankfully I didnt have to think about this monstrosity for a minute more. M.M.
  Most annoying pre-movie commercials
  Pretty much all of them, after ones fifth or sixth screening. Although the Cadillac ads Some things you see once and remember forever, accompanied by a flash of Sharon Stone, Janet Leigh or the Terminator win points for brevity. C.K.
  Most incongruous
  Studio boss Harvey Weinstein, at Torontos legendary Horseshoe Tavern for the Janie Jones party, catching up on New York Fashion Week runway shots of Halston Heritage (he owns part of the company) on an assistants iPad. N.A.
  Strangest redux of an iconic character
  Chen Zhen made famous by Bruce Lee in Fist of Fury. In Legend of the Fist, Chen Zhen returns as a war hero. A James Bond type. A masked crime-fighter. Basically, hes an action hero sandwich. M.L.
  Best red carpet dress
  Carey Mulligan in starry Christopher Kane satin. Ingenues just dont get more winsome than this. Runner up: Canadian actor Emily Hampshire working the red carpet in Canadian style, a moody asymmetrical watercolour silk by her hometown Montreal designer Andy Th-Anh. N.A.
  Best/coolest swag at TIFF
  All the guests at the same party for Miral at the AGO leaving with an art book by Julian Schnabel. S.G.
  Worst PR exchange
  Is Steve Nash doing anything on the Terry Fox movie?
  You can catch him on the red carpet (Not a very Terry moment, if you ask me). K.M.
  Best-kept secret
  The Filmmakers Lounge on Peter Street had a Happy Hour each day, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Too bad it took us until Tuesday to realize it. M.M.
  Best all-Canadian swag
  At the CBCs Made In Canada gifting suite...
