So did I. I saw a picture of this alleged baby Maria had, by Onassis, an unfortunate abortion. But Maria had a photographer take a picture of she & the baby. That baby was ABSOLUTELY the child of Onassis. That picture was the mirror image of Onassis, who was quite attractive in his younger years. Funny how Life turns out. Had Onassis not made Maria have an abortion, that son would have lived, AFTER Onassis's First son died in that plane crash.. I do not remember the name of the book nor the author, but I HOPE to find it. Isn't it funny, how Life turns out, in the end ??

After 3 divorces Lee found herself with very little money. Jackie DID discreetly provide considerable financial support in Lee's later years. I do believe the sisters did love each other but their parents deliberately pitted them apart as rivals from early childhood. Lee was quite beautiful but WHAT did she really accomplish? She had an abysmal acting debut appearing in a play that closed immediately. She briefly was an interior decorator but it was short lived because she bristled at being told by clients what to do - she was very spoiled her entire life and used to giving orders to others. She was a dazzling socialite among the highest circles but not really any significant accomplishments in her life - 3 failed marriages. I just finished watching the Hulu series Capote and the Swans. Calista Flockhart gives a phenomenal performance as Lee Radzwill - she does not seem to be an appealing personality, very bitchy, spiteful, and social climbing. I thought she was physically more attractive than her sister BUT it was Jacqueline Kennedy who made the stratosphere as First Lady and later when she married Aristotle Onassis.

Two remarkable women. Lee was very pretty but having been through her parents divorce at a young age left her forever looking for approval from father figures. Her sister was her fathers favourite too which must have been hard on her. Divorce is hard on children no matter what age. 😊

Wealth makes life easier. Jacqueline Onassis had wonderful homes,$ 20 Million from Ari Onassis. Caroline and John/ RIP were exposed to Fifth Avenue, Martha Vineyard's and top Law Schools!

People have this idea that Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was this tragic, good-hearted woman fate decided to continually crap on . . . but that couldn't be further from the truth. She was ruthless, haughty, money-hungry, and cold to anyone who got in her way or betrayed her. Deep down inside I think she did love Lee--after all, she named her daughter "Caroline" after her--but there was resentment and jealousy that came out in the cruellest of ways that her destroying Lee's spirit and good fortune. Anyone who hung around Lee fell in love with her spirit and vivacious nature; anyone who hung around Jackie learned to walk a minefield and tried to distance themselves. Jackie looks like her dad but acts like her mother. Funny enough, Caroline looks like her dad (JFK) and acts like her mother; whereas Lee looks like her mom and acts like her dad, and JFK jr looks like Jackie and acts like his dad. I think Truman Capote summed up the sister rivalry the best: "Lee has more beauty and class and fashion sense in her pinky than Jackie has in her whole body."

Lee looks prettier than Jackie, in my opinion.

It sounds like Lee Radziwill was not a particularly nice person, but there is something good that should be said about her. When Lee's and Jacqueline's aunt and cousin Edith Beale and the younger Edith Beale of Grey Gardens were living in filth and poverty in a house overrun with cats and raccoons, Lee was there at the house helping with the clearing out and cleaning up. Jacqueline did send money on an ongoing basis, but Lee was there in a house that people in homes downwind could smell and where people sometimes wore flea collars because of the conditions of the house. I saw this in the documentary "That Summer". It was mentioned in the documentary that shortly before filming started, Lee Radziwill had been dealing with an unspecified medical condition. She was terribly thin in "That Summer" and I wonder if this unplanned help for her relatives was difficult for Lee, but at least on film there's not a word of complaint. Not only that I'd never known of Lee Radziwill's help to her relatives and, best as I can tell, apart from a few minutes in an obscure documatary, Lee drew no attention to herself for her kindness and took no credit for the improvement that were made though it's well-known Jacqueline sent money from a distance.

Lee, to cheer Jackie up, begged Onassis to let her invite Jackie on his yatch for the summer. When the vacation was over as parting gift, he gave Lee a small diamond-studded bracelet but to Jackie a diamond and ruby necklace. Later they got married without telling Lee who thaught they were still together.

What is the purpose of these women other than to consume ?

I never thought Jackie was pretty, she cleans up very well and she’s got style, but I always thought Lee was truly a beauty, just my opinion

She was prettier than Jackie.

So ridiculous both sisters was beautiful and lee wasnt overshadowed she was a princess

Thank you…..

Younger sibling syndrome. Just like Princess Margaret.

Very difficult to understand their relationship. Cannot ever imagine this kind of selfishness between siblings. That’s not a little bit of rivalry it’s outright selfishness and basically lack of love for a sibling.

I dont think Jackie cared about anyone but her children. She was hardly a dutiful daughter, she ignored her cousins at Grey Gardens and her own sister.

To be truly vapid, you need lots of money.

Nice job on this video. 👏

Lee was far more attractive than Jackie. It seems that neither were decent humans though.

She was American who married a Polish prince America don’t have a royal family not even Meghan is a princess no matter what she thinks

Where is that 1966 TV version of Laura? Back in the late '70s, a friend told me she'd just seen it on TV in Houston. That's when I first heard of it, so it must have kicked around as a syndicated re-run for many years. I've always wanted to see it. Really surprised it's never been uploaded to YT.

Millions of people have no decent vision.

Maria was the other woman in both marriages .. he paid for her surroundings and visited her to the end a true “mistress “

Not a word about her children in later life? Her son Anthony's death from cancer 2 weeks after JFK Jr's plane crash? Tony and John were very close as cousins.

I always wished that both Lee and Jackie would have spent more time helping their cousins, the Bouvier - Beale family. Some may be familiar with who I am talking about, since there are a number of documentaries and movies about the Edith's. Both Edith Bouvier - Beale and Edith's wayward daughter, Little Edie, really needed the help, and it would have been a nice opportunity for Lee and Jackie to get along and do something nice for their relations/cousins. In fact, Edith Bouvier - Beale, or Big Edie, might have been their aunt or great aunt. I can't remember off hand. However, both Big Edie and her daughter, Little Edie, led very interesting lives. Maybe even more so than their famous cousins, Lee and Jackie! The old money families have the best stories, and they have the best 'dirty laundry' . Great video as always. Thank you.

Real shame, they seemed to have everything and yet were so petty and small. She died in an expensive NYC apartment, she must of had a lot of money on her own.

You would think their parents would have had access to an orthodontist.

I have just one sibling, a sister whose older. Regardless of all our petty and at times serious we always come around.

Lee wasn't an American princess. She was a Polish princess through her marriage to a Polish aristocrat. She was American, but we have no royal titles that are handed down from America.

@@AndrewHeller-jn7dx Here's some helpful information for you. You see, lambchop, when people say Elvis Presley was the King of Rock 'n' Roll, they actually don't mean he had royal blood. You see, dear, Elvis was an American, and here in America, we have no official royalty. And so "king" was just a respectful, complimentary, honorary title to express admiration. Census and genealogy will confirm for you that Elvis had no royal blood of any kind. I hope that clears up any misconception you may have had. You're welcome.

The narration is AI. Not a person.

Lee Radziwill's husband Stash never did have any wealth. His family had lost almost everything. He had no skills. Through connections someone placed him on The Board of Directors at a bank. Later, Onassis placed him on some Board of Directors. I wondered why Lee wound up with him. He also had a language problem with English. Lee took Stash away from his long term wife and always had the connections. I suppose she wore the pants for the family and bossed her man. 😊

Lee wass much prettier than Jackie!

It would be helpful if you would slow down a bit and enunciate.

You’v forgot to say that she lost her son to cancer too I think that Jackie’s daughter’s name being also Caroline maybe it’s bc Jackie, despite everything, has truly loved her sister.
