I know. Why have women (not all) but alot, now of days lost that class? All they want is to post a half naked picture of themselves or one of them passed out drunk. Very sad!!!

The undefinable "it" was quite definable Paul. Jackie had the regal air because she never spoke in public. Typically she would nod or give simple answers and almost never NEVER spoke in front of the press or camaras - for a very simple reason. She essentially had a speech impediment. She had the thickest New England Brogue ever for a woman, much coarser than JFK's, a severe overbite and a huge lisp (HUGE LISP). She tried to cover it all up by speaking from the back of her throat in a light airy whisper. Listening to her speak was painful and mesmerizingly bizarre. Couple that with the huge gumline (gummy smile)when her mouth opened and you can easily see why she was seeming aloof and shy about speaking in public. Early in JFK's term she did her only (to my knowledge)interview that was a sort of traveloge on the then White House restoration foundation. It was a room by room tour of the White House and the efforts of the foundation to complete the work by private funding. Remember, this was in the earliest days of television and few people saw it or remembered. She was so widely ridiculed and panned after that several hour long show she apparently vowed never to speak in front of the camaras for the public, and for the most part never did. She would speak to companies and private groups but shied away from the camara because of her speech impediment. It was like listening to Elmer Fudd tring to speak Cajun - mesmerizingly bizarre. Of course all you idolizers will dispute that. Its the truth. I challenge any of you to recall a public speaking engagement after that early White House disaster.

Bill, I strongly disagree. I've seen many of Jackie's interviews (from a project on first ladies and their roles I did in college a few years ago) and you and I are obviously talking about two entirely different people. Look, I'm certainly no fan of the Kennedy's, although I admit a certain sympathy for JBKO. She was graceful, refined, very feminine, stunningly beautiful --- to include that indescrible aura of "it".
We'll just agree to disagree, okay?

I think the only resemblance has to do with the roses that are being carried! Otherwise, are you kidding??

Katie is not what one could call a real actress... a charecter maybe. " But, never a Jackie."

They are going to have to fix KH's crooked ass smile first.

Class? JFK was sleeping with Marilyn Monroe and Judith Exner while married to Jackie. Onassis continued his long-standing affair with Maria Callas while married to Jackie. You have a strange definition of "class."

Sorry to disagree with you but JFK had no class whatsoever. A compulsive womanizer, loaded with VD. Jackie was not classically beautiful but she knew how to work it so to speak. And she did put up with alot being married to JFK. But obviously she was attracted to men of wealth, power. I see no resemblance between Jackie and Kate...the clothes a very poor imitation. If Jackie had anything, it was style and flair.

I noticed that right away, too. The pill box hat is also different. The hair and makeup may be similar, but I really don't think Katie Holmes looks like Jackie.
