Why Jackie Kennedy's Mother Hated Her So Much

September 12, 1953. Newport. Twelve hundred guests, an archbishop at the altar, and the most photographed bride in America coming up the aisle on her stepfather's arm. Her real father was two miles away at the Viking Hotel, dressed and waiting for a car that never came. Thirteen years earlier her mother had gone to Reno and come back with a decree citing extreme mental cruelty — after handing a tabloid the names of his mistresses. That mother trained both daughters to marry money, then left Jackie out of the family fortune entirely. Jackie ended up paying for her nursing bills.
