Happy birthday, Jackie
Today, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis would have turned 83. If she were still here, I imagine she'd be kicking around the Vineyard, reading a book. Or perhaps that's just how I'd like to spend my birthday.
I love this photo of Jackie with the Atget book she commissioned in her hand. When I asked her friend Nancy Tuckerman what Jackie's favorite book was of all those she worked on in her editorial career, Nancy said it was the Atget book. I think there can be no better guide to the stages in a woman's life, whether Jackie or Anywoman, than Tina Cassidy.
