Once Upon a Time: The Captivating Life of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy
Brief Description
This captivating and lively biography revisits the life and legacy of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, the wife of John F. Kennedy Jr., making it a must-read for fans of "My Travels with Mrs. Kennedy," "What Remains," and "Fairy Tale Interrupted."
A quarter-century after the tragic plane crash that took the lives of John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife Carolyn, and her sister Lauren, the impact of this event remains profound. Carolyn, however, continues to be a mysterious figure—a woman whose brief time in the public eye was marred by misogyny and harsh criticism.
In the midst of today’s cultural reflection on how women are treated by the media, Elizabeth Beller delves into the true story behind the tabloid headlines and media frenzy. As Carolyn began dating America’s "prince," she was increasingly thrust into an intense spotlight, with relentless paparazzi turning her reserved nature into a target for harassment and vilification.
Even today, she is often portrayed as a privileged, aloof, and troubled figure, with some even blaming her for the tragic crash by alleging that she delayed the flight for a pedicure. But now, a different side of Carolyn emerges—one that has rarely been seen.
A fiercely independent woman with a deep dedication to her adopted city and career, Carolyn used her keen eye and determination to rise through the ranks at Calvin Klein in the high-pressure fashion world of the 1990s. When she met John, he was instantly captivated by her strong-willed nature, effortless charm, and intelligence. Their relationship brought her immense fame, but it was her vibrant and intriguing life before and after their marriage that truly captivates.
Drawing from extensive research and exclusive interviews with those who knew her—friends, family, teachers, roommates, and colleagues—along with never-before-seen family photos, this comprehensive biography paints a portrait of a complex woman who deserves our attention, independent of her marriage and tragic death.
