Jackie had her own ideas about campaigning, and often carried them out calmly and coolly without consulting any of us. One day in Kenosha she walked into a busy supermarket and listened to the manager announcing bargain sale items over a loudspeaker system. She located the microphone, gave the manager a dazzling smile, and asked if she could say a few words. The next voice heard throughout the crowded store was the soft tones of Jacqueline Kennedy. “Just keep on with your shopping while I tell you about my husband, John F. Kennedy,” she said. She talked briefly about his service in the Navy and in Congress and then closed with, “He cares deeply about the welfare of his country — please vote for him.” We never heard about the speech in the supermarket from Jackie. Helen Keyes, who was traveling with her that day, told us about it later and said, “While she was talking, you could have heard a pin drop.”🤍

Jackie was wonderful in many ways, but she was such a massive contributor to Jack’s campaigns and his wins☺️

"He read in the strangest way . . . He'd read walking, he'd read at the table, at meals, he'd read after dinner, he'd read in the bathtub . . . He really read all the times you don't think you have time to read. . . . He was always reading—practically while driving a car. " - Jacqueline Kennedy

Hyannis Port, Summer 1960.
Jacques Lowe captured this now-iconic portrait of Jacqueline Kennedy in a yellow gingham dress, radiating poise and quiet confidence as the presidential campaign loomed ahead. The image went on to grace the covers of countless magazines worldwide and remains one of the most recognized photographs of her—an emblem of style and grace in American public life.

The full story behind this image—and many others—will be told in the upcoming documentary Capturing Kennedy, coming later this year. Photos by Jacques Lowe.
