Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, the widow of the 35th United States President, John F. Kennedy, became an American icon, bringing style, grace, elegance and sophistication into the White House. She served as the First Lady of the United States from 1961 until her husband's assassination in 1963. She later married Aristotle Onassis in 1968. After his death in 1975, she had a successful career as a book editor.

A week after her husband's assassination, Jackie Kennedy gave an interview to Theodore H. White of Life magazine in which she compared the Kennedy White House years to King Arthur's Camelot. She shared that John F. Kennedy often played the title song of the musical recording before retiring at the end of the day, and quoted Queen Guinevere to express the loss: "Now he is a legend when he would have preferred to be a man."
