Camera Girl

Long before she was known as Jackie O, Jacqueline Bouvier was a single twentysomething columnist and photographer for the Washington Times-Herald. An upcoming book, Camera Girl, by Carl Sferrazza Anthony, uncovers new details about her coming of age and falling in love with John F. Kennedy, the young Senator with whom she shared a determination to make a mark. Included in the new book are rarely seen photos of the young woman who had big dreams and who would soon become one of the most glamorous icons in the world.
