However, it looks like this legacy is secure thanks to her granddaughter, who happens to be a dead ringer for Jacqueline herself. Who is this granddaughter, though, and how else is she like her famous grandmother? Keep reading to discover the answers!
The influence and legacy of Jacqueline Kennedy
After JFK was elected as president, Jacqueline Kennedy wasted no time making some big movies. This included restoring the White House by establishing a White House Fine Arts Committee to help restore the famous building’s many public rooms. She also hosted White House dinners to which she invited various artists, writers, musicians, and other creatives, giving her the reputation of being a major supporter of the arts. Finally, she essentially served as an ambassador when traveling with her famous husband all around the world.
Even after his death, Jacqueline Kennedy helped to save and restore Grand Central Station and prevented the destruction of famous structures like the Renwick Building. And she did all of this while showing an immaculate fashion sense that inspired an entire generation of women. And she was certainly an inspiration to her oldest granddaughter, who has grown into the spitting image of Jacqueline herself!
