Defined in the public eye by her two high-profile marriages, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis began 1975

Jackie After O is an exciting and original portrayal of the life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis through the lens of one remarkable year, as she shook the world's expectations and pursued her dreams in middle age.
