[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do people do that still? Just read the most fascinating Jackie Kennedy biography. I had no idea her mom masterminded her marrying JFK, and then even the Kennedies helped orchestrate her marriage to Onassis, purely for money, which set her up for life. Same with her sisters, both married for money. [/quote]

Janet married her beautiful and smart 23 yr old daughter off to a 35 year old womanizer who was obsessed with success and ambition. It wasn't a happy or successful marriage so she did Jackie no favor.

In the Kennedys' case, many people promoted the marriage, such as JFK's father. He knew that his son had to appear stable and settled to have a shot at the presidency. The father knew that Jacqueline didn't come from money but checked off many other boxes: educated but traditional, Catholic, spoke three Romance languages, the WASP Auchincloss connection.

As for Onassis, the settlement after his death made her one of the wealthiest women in the country. Of course it was worth it.[/quote]
