1. She spoke four languages: English, French, Italian and Spanish.
2. She spent her first two years in college at Vassar, then was off to France her junior year at the University of Grenoble and the Sorbonne. Upon her return to the states she finished at George Washington finally graduating with a degree in French Literature.
3. When it came to fashion, more than anything she loved black and white combos. However she preferred white bottoms and a black sweater or blouse.
4. Jackie's first job after her college graduation was as a photographer for the Washington Times-Herald.

I love this post! Its the strangest timing as my boss and I were talking about her today saying how women like her just aren't around anymore today (debatable I know) and that she was gorgeous AND smart. I didn't know one of those facts though so am all the wiser for reading your post :)
