On February 14th, 1962 First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy gave an exclusive tour of the White House, hosted by CBS's Charles Collingwood and broadcasted on all three networks.
Totally agree with you, I was just talking about it and that's why I looked for the video, I watched this video years ago, I love interior design and I felt in loved with her during this tour and love the way she describes the history about every piece of furniture, RIP jackie ❤🙏🕊
Her teachers and professors remembered her as being very bright and very well-read. And JFK once said himself that she's the first woman he dated with "substance." I actually feel sorry for the Jackie haters. :(
Amazing this penchant to pick on accomplished lovely First Ladies, Jackie, was not only educated, but a big funder for Arts Endowments, and culturally uphold and preserve history off this country. Amazing brave woman throughout her trials🇩🇰🇺🇸💜🦅 👁️ As is First Lady Melania, today.🐦💌
She was very smart, sensitive, and intellectually curious. She wasn’t the kind of analytical smart woman who becomes Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She was the kind of creative smart woman who studies in Paris, learns multiple languages, knows about art and architecture and poetry, and becomes a book editor. Both kinds of women are equally fabulous.
@@vaseemhadi8870 you seriously didn’t think Portman did an incredible job of recreating Jackie Kennedy? I mean I don’t know what she could have done better
For those that don't know: the stemware Mrs. Kennedy chose came from West Virginia. She was so moved by the poverty in West Virginia that she chose glassware from there to help put American people to work. The glassware was readily available to the everyday American public, and this is what she chose-not expensive cut-glass crystal, but simple American made glass whose jobs help feed, house and clothe ordinary families. The name of the company was Morgantown Glass Company, the pattern was named "Decor" but changed to The President's House. Unfortunately, Morgantown sold to Fostoria Glass in 1971, and Fostoria is now out of business. You can find pieces on eBay or Replacements, Ltd., but certainly not for 1960s prices.
One of the rare First Ladies who actually took pride in Americana. History, tradition and pride are all evident in her dilligent research. I'm sure some first ladies after Ladybird probably mocked this tour - Jackie worked hard to make the WH into a real treasure from a dump damaged by the tastes (or lack of) by previous presidential families.
Disgusting to read so many negative comments abt one of the most loved 1st lady's ever. Analyse, analyse. If u can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.
i am a proud reagan conservative but have always been a fan of jacqueline kennedy. such a beautiful intelligent woman who brought such style and elegance to the white house and this nation.
To see this video again (I first saw it when it was presented "live") is to remind me of the magic the Kennedys brought to America. Jacqueline, in this video, is so wonderfully delightful -- I can see why America was in love with her and her husband. The day the shots rang out in Dallas ended all of that. The national mourning and grief were beyond what could be explained to those who were not there to experience it. This video clip was from a time of innocence lost. ...Rowby
Excellent short documentary. It is absolutely no surprise that Queen Elizabeth 2nd was in awe and not a little envious of Jackie Kennedy. Such a tragic end to her period as First Lady. But what a genuine Lady she was. ❤
I’m literally watching the movie now and it’s so amazing how she looks the part and sounds the part even the smallest details of her facial expression were accurate Natalie Portman did her best
I can't help but expect Little Edie to sneak up on Colliingwood, whispering "She's wearing the revolutionary dress for today, isn't it lovely?... Red... Very staunch..."
I was very young when Jackie was in the White House, so I don't remember hearing her speak on TV. It's great to hear her speaking here. One can certainly see her delight in the things she's talking about.
She was well educated and smart as hell. This is the kind of woman who studies in Paris, learns multiple languages, knows everything about art, architecture, and history, and becomes a book editor. It’s misogynistic to think of her in typical misogynistic terms, clothes horse, socialite, money loving etc. Her clothes were beautiful and we all love beauty and prosperity. I think she was probably at her coolest as the bohemian single 1970s book editor. She was perfect for the role of First Lady at that time, but she was stifled and silenced emotionally as a wife by men who were just not on her soul level, however rich and successful they were in the rat race. She wanted love but I think she was happier with her freedom.
Okay, this might sound funny....but I feel like in the sixties, and even before that. They didn't live in color...like the people then didn't see things like we do now. Haha. It's so weird. Anyway though, I absolutely adore her. Best First Lady we've ever had, hands down.
For Jackie it was finishing school in New England, not acting class. Your mom may have been confusing the breathy Marilyn Monroe “vacant” voice with Jacqueline’s whispery, soft spoken educated finishing school dialect. They’re both very soft voices from the same generation, but that’s where the similarities end. Mrs. Kennedy was definitely the opposite of those “some” girls. She was every bit the lady, or “first” lady
A classic example of Oyster Bay Lockjaw was demonstrated by the character Gloria Upson in in the film "Auntie Mame". Notice especially the pronunciation of the word "ghastly". It can only be pronounced that way by jutting out and clenching the lower jaw (hence lockjaw) while speaking through the lower teeth and tensing the back of the neck.
I love the era but the stars were all so media trained and spoke in a complete different way to they actually sounded. The smiles and nods are just cringeworthy now. Marilyn Monroe was exactly the same. People say it was a much happier era but its all false, they all look like stepford wives. I wish there were vidoes where Marilyn Monroe and Jackie O were actually being genuine. Very gracious lady butn its all so forced.
Dan Lew Never knew that about people in that era. I thought that's just how everyone sounded in the 60's because that's what you'd always here in interviews. Interesting
My goodness, I thought no one really knew this. You are right on the money. I grew up in this time, we all thought perfect, perfect!!! not so. No one really cared though.
@Awesnap Thank you for writing this. It is so true. There is very little respect for the English language nowadays. Its hard to believe that Jacqueliine Kennedy was so poised in her 30s.
After many, many renovations to both the personal and private rooms of the White House, many of designs by Jackie have NOT been changed - enough said! Her style and tasste was unmatched!
I remember this tour. She looked and sounded ridiculous, and many of her statements were incorrect. However, we all got a good laugh that night, thanks to this first lady.
@free2drm Actually if you look up "White House" on wikipedia, there is a nice section on the Kennedy Restoration and the White House restorations/changes since. I think the room that is most intact from Jackie's restoration is the Diplomatic Reception Room (the room with the wallpaper of "scenes of America").
4:32 "May none but honest and wise men rule under this House..." Too bad that prayer was broken when Nixon got in office. And then again when Dubya Bush got in office.
frankly I think it is not solely her refined taste that leads her to redecorate white house, but always her incredible thirst for luxury. which woman would not be contented with the white house status quo? which is already finely and lavishly decorated
What an inteligent woman. Well educated. A patriot in the place she was... History was valuble for her. How dificult to be a first lady. Terrible that she had ti move from a place she loved
Jacqueline Kennedy, in my humble opinion, is one of the most underrated First Ladies. Nobody ever mentions how much of a pioneer/product of the women's movement this lady really was. She refused to stay in the genteel straitjacket imposed on so many of her predecessors. Her assailing the matronly aspects of her position mirrored thye antiestablishment,antiauthoritarian attitudes of the 1960's
@warrior11x11 I know there was not colour tv at that time. What I meant was film it in colour anyway, with moviecameras, with colourfilm. So that sometime in the future, you could show it in colour.
73 questions with Jackie Kennedy!
Bless her heart...I never noticed how elegantly she spoke...
I come back and watch this often. Her voice is so relaxing and she has such a wonderfully warm demeanor. It helps me relax.
Totally agree with you, I was just talking about it and that's why I looked for the video, I watched this video years ago, I love interior design and I felt in loved with her during this tour and love the way she describes the history about every piece of furniture, RIP jackie ❤🙏🕊
i cant believe how SMART she is, she remembers everything. its amazing shes like a walking encyclopedia on the white house!
Well this wasn’t just a basic interview, she had many other tries and had a script.
This was a well educated and cultured woman. She loved art and history. Amazing person.
*Damn...Jackie Kennedy gave a pretty accurate Natalie Portman impersonation. :b*
Her voice was so soft & soothing!
I absolutely love Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. She was a well-mannered woman and an instant fashion icon.
We will never have another first Lady like jackie.she was stylish, classy and beautiful. Long live Camelot.
Natalie really studied her .. wow
All these youtubers that do house tours now owe Jackie a big thank you for making it a thing.
This is ASMR
How far we've fallen
Her teachers and professors remembered her as being very bright and very well-read. And JFK once said himself that she's the first woman he dated with "substance." I actually feel sorry for the Jackie haters. :(

I don’t feel sorry for them, but I agree that they’re definitely without. Jackie Kennedy was a gift to America and our history.
JFK once said to his father about Jackie "You should see her dad!" She was graceful ,poise and beautiful.
I LOVE HER SOFT VOICE
Just give Natalie Portman the Oscar!
daimon7, why? She was nothing like Jackie
vaseem hadi do you know how hard it is to mimic someone else as a actor? Clearly not her performance was amazing she mimicd her best.
@@vaseemhadi8870 you seriously didn’t think Portman did an incredible job of recreating Jackie Kennedy? I mean I don’t know what she could have done better
@@jorybrosted7298 nah she stunk and the wigs she wore were laughable, just crappily done.

The pricks are only pissed she's not Melania Trump.
@@arethabs.as.6304 um what
@@arethabs.as.6304 She was not, don't be stupid.
That voice is instantly recognizable. Iconic.
natalie portman bring me.to here!
A true renaissance woman .. can't get enough of her breathless voice so sweet yet sophisticated fits her perfectely
“Breathy,” not “breathless.” She’s not gasping for breath.
i am a proud reagan conservative but have always been a fan of jacqueline kennedy. such a beautiful intelligent woman who brought such style and elegance to the white house and this nation.
Voice is so therapeutic ❤️
She has such a soothing voice. It really makes you feel at ease.
Some people can't pull off New England accents. Jackie Kennedy wasn't one of those people. Absolutely wonderful.

I love this. Thanks for posting. Happy Holidays!
Natalie Portman really deserves Oscar
A lady of impeccable class and taste.
Portman nailed it...to bad no one has seen the 'jackie' film!
JokerPace, she sucked as Jackie
Showing now on the Roku channel
Cordell Pace That movie was good
vaseem hadi She did not such lol 😂
She didn’t nail it. She blew.
I remember seeing this when I was 14.
February 14, 1962, was the 50th anniversary of Arizona's admission to the Union, as well as being Valentine's Day.
I love how she speak, so soft, rip
America was justly proud of Jacqueline Kennedy a true First LADY.
Excellent short documentary. It is absolutely no surprise that Queen Elizabeth 2nd was in awe and not a little envious of Jackie Kennedy. Such a tragic end to her period as First Lady. But what a genuine Lady she was. ❤
"They used to use Monroe's knives and forks."
"And there's Monroe's beautiful centerpiece."
LOL!
Why is that funny?
@@calisongbird Exactly.
She was such a beautiful, and classy lady 💜🌺
I’m literally watching the movie now and it’s so amazing how she looks the part and sounds the part even the smallest details of her facial expression were accurate Natalie Portman did her best
Yup - spot on .... just watched the movie
I can't help but expect Little Edie to sneak up on Colliingwood, whispering "She's wearing the revolutionary dress for today, isn't it lovely?... Red... Very staunch..."
What a lady.
Thumbs up if Mad Men brought you here.
There She is!
if anyone is interested in seeing the whole tour, it is available on Hulu.com; I have seen it and it is just lovely.
This tour received an Emmy. :)
I love her New York accent! I love it!
New England
I was very young when Jackie was in the White House, so I don't remember hearing her speak on TV. It's great to hear her speaking here. One can certainly see her delight in the things she's talking about.
I wish I could be like Jackie O. Graceful, refined, demure, polite, soft-spoken and poised
Always loved Jackie! :D

"smile! smile!".
The way she talks... ♥️
Omg Natalie sounded just like her . She moved and expressed her impeccably .
@greyhoundgirl103 - her voice is hypnotic....I agree, God Bless Them
That dame had Class with a capital "C."
My favorite First Lady ❤️🇺🇸 God Bless her and may she be resting in God’s great heavenly glory alongside her husband ❤️🙏🏻

@@jorybrosted7298 OK
I think in the 60's women had a certain accent. They all seemed to talk the same i.e. Jackie O, Jayne Mansfield, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor etc

It can only be pronounced that way by jutting out and clenching the lower jaw (hence lockjaw) while speaking through the lower teeth and tensing the back of the neck.

Hi everyone who just watched Jeopardy!
This was back when all first ladies had class and poise, they were articulate, graceful and cultured. Remember that era? What the hell happened?
R.I.P Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis 1929-1994😥
@Awesnap Thank you for writing this. It is so true. There is very little respect for the English language nowadays.

Her hair was the style back in the day.

Thank you.
Jacgueline Kennedy helped restore much in the White House carefully with respect to it's historic past.🇺🇸🇩🇰🦅💜

Such a modern age yet hard to believe color wasnt around yet on tv. Black and white is so ancient.
I want a video app that does this look for Android or iOS. Does it even exist?
Mrs Kennedy was so dignified......
Stilted? I found her enchanting.
As beautiful and elligant as it all is, it doesn't compare to Jacqueline's Beauty 💙
