Want to Be Like Jackie Kennedy? Here Are 8 Rules She Lived by
There is, perhaps, no greater American figure more beloved for her style and grace as the late Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. Her legacy as the wife of President John F. Kennedy and the keeper of the Camelot legend alone has been a subject of fascination for decades, inspiring countless movies and biographies along the way.
It comes as no surprise, then, that Natalie Portman's gripping portrayal of the former First Lady in Jackie drummed up buzz all awards season long. The Academy Award-winning actress's latest tour de force (for which she received an Oscar nod), transcends an ability to retell history after JFK's assassination; it's her keen sense of zeroing in on all of the little details that lend credence to this biopic. "She's so well-known in terms of what she looks like and what she sounds like and how she moves, so to get that is definitely daunting," Portman told Entertainment Weekly about preparing for the role of a lifetime.
