Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy (née Bouvier), also known as Jackie, was the First Lady of the United States as the wife of President John F. Kennedy. (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy)
== Biography ==
At some point, she became married to John F. Kennedy. By the time of his assassination in 1963, they had two children together, Caroline and John Junior.
Kennedy was elected President of the United States in 1960. Jackie had accompanied him on a political visit within America at some point during the campaign, the last time she would do so before her husband's death.
=== The assassination ===
On 22 November 1963, Jackie accompanied her husband on a visit to Dallas, Texas, to bolster his popularity in a state that would have been crucial for the 1964 election. During the motorcade's slow ride through the city, Kennedy had snarled at Jackie to remove her sunglasses so that the throngs of people lining the roads could see her smiling eyes.
After Kennedy was shot, his head exploded and his body slumped onto Jackie's lap. (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy) A young Jessica Willamy saw "Jackie scrambling to the back of the car to recover a piece of blood and brain-stained skull". (PROSE: Wonderland) A Secret Service agent then threw himself on the back of the vehicle and pushed her down into her seat as the limousine began to speed away from the site of the shooting towards Parkland Memorial Hospital.
Kennedy was pronounced dead on arrival and Lyndon Johnson was sworn in as the new President that day. Jackie's pink outfit and matching hat was stained by her husband's blood but she refused to take it off for hours after the assassination. Jackie and her clothing became one of the enduring and unforgettable icons of the tragedy. (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy)
=== Legacy ===
A photograph of Jackie and the president, taken not long before the assassination, was taken and eventually made its way into the possession of conspiracy theorist Clive Finch. (PROSE: Have You Seen This Man?, TV: Rose)
=== Alternate timelines ===
In an alternate timeline envisioned by James Stevens, it was Jackie that was assassinated instead of John. In the immediate aftermath, John was wracked with guilt about his philandering and his lies to her. His survival resulted in the beginning of a nuclear war on 22 January 1964.
