The Secret Behind Jackie Kennedy’s PINK SUIT

A pink wool suit with a navy collar lies in a windowless room at the National Archives in Maryland, unwashed since November 22, 1963. Jacqueline Kennedy wore it in Dallas and refused to take it off until the next morning. A 2003 deed of gift from Caroline Kennedy keeps it from public view until 2103. This documentary follows the suit from Chanel's 1961 collection to a licensed copy made in New York for political reasons, through the handwritten packing list for the Texas trip, the Fort Worth breakfast, the swearing-in on Air Force One, the box on her mother's stationery, and the pillbox hat that has never been found. Accounts from William Manchester, Lady Bird Johnson, Clint Hill and the historian Carl Anthony are presented as their recollections. Narration: AI voice. Research and editing by the channel.
