Carolyn Bessette Kennedy - The Ultimate 90s Career Woman and Style Icon

from Matilda’s Top Women In History

Carolyn Bessette Kennedy is a modern style icon - almost 3 decades after her early death. However she was much more that a fashionable socialite - friends and family all say she was kind, warm and caring. She forged a successful career in a difficult industry, and fell in love with a man who happened to be in the public eye. Her struggle to get used to the frenzy of media attention was ongoing, and she was only just starting to manage it when she boarded a plane in July 1999.Beller, Elizabeth: Once Upon A Time - The Captivating Life of Carolyn Bessette KennedyConrieri, Stefania: Inside the Super-Secret, Ultra-Intimate Wedding of John F.
