Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Christopher Andersen's biography Jackie After Jack: Portrait of the Lady is one steamy read. Andersen claims that Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis had affairs with Frank Sinatra, Marlon Brando, William Holden, Warren Beatty, Bobby Kennedy, and JFK's former deputy secretary of defense. He writes that she battled anorexia, was both cheap and greedy, wore big sunglasses partly to cover up bruises inflicted by Aristotle Onassis, tried to sign Princess Diana to a book contract, offered Camilla Parker Bowles $2 million to tell all, and dropped Michael Jackson, whose book she edited, when he stood accused of pederasty. Andersen suggests that the cancer that killed Jackie may have been related to her habits: 40 to 60 cigarettes a day, four decades of carcinogenic black hair dye, and countless amphetamine and carcinogenic steroid injections in the 1960s. Many of the juiciest stories come from anonymous sources, and, according to Newsweek, Brando's biographer claims the alleged Jackie tryst never happened. Some readers may feel that Andersen's breezy assertion that Castro murdered JFK may not fully settle the question. But many will want to check out what ex-People magazine writer Andersen has to say. --Tim Appelo

    The story flowed easily and kept my interest throughout. If she and her life were as complex as the author described, what a fascinating life she lived. I was very surprised at the number of editing errors in this book, i.e, non-words, incorrect words, hyphenated words, nonsensical words. I would suggest the author contact his editor and run the text through again very thoroughly. How embarrassing.

    I didn’t begin this as a fan of Jackie nor did I end as one. The author is in no way trying to convert the reader. It’s a subjective book. I definitely recommend it.

    One must wonder how the author was able to glean so much information about Jackie’s life both before and after her husband’s assignation, but as compared to other published accounts of Jackie’s life, his description seems accurate and well thought out. He included the bad with the good, which seemed believable. I appreciated his honesty that lead me to a better understanding of such a complex life.

    I was in the third grade when a young woman teacher burst into my classroom crying that “The President has been killed”. That day and the following four days are burned into my memory. I remember seeing Mrs. Kennedy in this truly great tragedy, as a force that united us as Americans. I greatly enjoyed this book about her.

    It was an interesting read. I gave it three stars because I am just sickened by how much infidelity I read about within the Kennedy/Bouvier families. Extra marital affairs were so common. To proclaim being a Christian and then committing adultery is so sad. I liked the historical context and learning more about the part this family played in history.

    Have read many, many books about Jackie,but I did find some new information in this book. So, I would encourage fellow "Jackie-Phillies" to spend some pleasant and interesting hours with this book. I would also encourage the author and editor to be a little more careful in their research. "Yusha" Auchincloss is Jackie and Lee's stepmother, not their half brother.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 20, 2023
    I enjoyed this book, gave a good insight to Jackie’s life after Jack. I felt it was a reasonable autobiography but unfortunately he chose to believe the worse version on all of Jackie’s friendships and actions. For a start, no way do l believe that Jackie and Bobby Kennedy had an affair, to do so would to both of them betray Jack and his children, these two people suffered the most awful tragedy, especially Jackie, sat next to him when he was slaughtered. As a woman who loves her husband, this is going to affect you forever. So well done to her for being an amazing woman whose children adored her to the day she died. What mother could ask for more.
