Summary

They were alike in a lot of ways -- Both loved the arts, and they were both guilty of spending actual fortunes on the contents of their closets… Both loved everything European. But their favorite place was Lasata, East Hampton New York, where their father encouraged the genius and beauty in everything they did. 

But they were different people at their core. One loved to sink into the back of the classroom with her nose in a book; one wanted everyone to know her. One was a flirt; one was more about practicality. One always struggled to find funds; one attracted money like it grew on trees. One submitted herself to the traditions she grew up in, and made the most of the roles of her time -- she took all she could; the other rebelled against the boundaries forced on her, sacrificing comforts, security, and praise. One wrestled with her identity for her entire life, trying to find a way to shine on her own stage; one fought overwhelming publicity and clung to the little privacy she was allowed. 2 sisters. Money, husbands, camera flashes, couture sunglasses, and too much tragedy for one lifetime.

This is the true story of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis & Princess Lee Radziwill… we’ve read all the biographies, watched all the documentaries... here is everything you need to know, complete with all the juicy details.

Welcome to Blood and Business. I'm Bethany and I'm Cassie. Today we're talking about a sister duo literally born and bred for the world stage. They were two of the most glamorous

0:33.0

women of the 20th century. One changed the White House forever and set a new template for what a

0:37.8

first lady of the United States could be and would be. The other would wander for a lifetime,

0:43.1

trying to find her own limelight and step out of the shadows of her sister. Their lifelong quest,

0:48.7

money, power, and glory. And they found it, but it never quite satisfied the hunger that they both carried.

0:56.0

They will forever be remembered, but they lost each other along the way. They are Jackie O., Jackie

1:03.3

Kennedy, and Princess Lee Radzwell. This is part two of the Bouvier sisters. Okay, so when we left off, both of the sisters were just starting in their careers,

1:32.7

and Jackie had gotten a journalist position in D.C., and then Lee was working for a magazine

1:41.3

in New York. Jackie was not quick to rush into a marriage. She had decided

1:45.2

that she definitely did not want to marry any of the guys that she grew up with, not because of

1:50.0

them, but because of their life and what their life would mean for her. But by the time 1952 rolled

1:56.6

around, she's 23 at this point, and she started to feel the pressure of, you know, the societal

2:02.5

norms and, oh my gosh, you're getting ancient. You're 23 years old. Better start popping out

2:08.2

them babies. Exactly. So she ended up getting engaged to a New York stockbroker named John G. W. Husted

2:17.1

Jr. who was a friend of her stepfather, Hugh Ogincloss.
