Meet former First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy in this fascinating first-person performance by actress and historian Leslie Goddard. It is 1964 and the former first lady, besieged by paparazzi, is struggling to cope. Attempting to determine her next step, she reviews her life, sharing stories about her marriage, her fight for privacy amidst intense media scrutiny, her work to restore the White House, and her attempts to showcase the arts. As she gradually opens up, you will meet the private woman behind the public myth.
