Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Nancy Tuckerman were friends over seven decades. Nancy almost never talked to people writing books about Jackie. She made an exception for me because I was working with her former colleagues. She and I met for the first time at the Red Lion Inn on a cold day in February. She was wearing a plain brown sweater and hiding behind a newspaper. At first she was stiff with me. But at lunch the young waiter poured her a cold cup of coffee. When he stepped away, we both laughed. That was how we began a friendlier and franker conversation that lasted 10 years.

Warm, lively reading of Jackie's oldest friendship
Revisado: 08-25-22
I loved Jackie Stories (poignant accounts of 8 of JKO's friends, in their later years) and was curious about the Audible version, of which the first installment has been issued, about Nancy Tuckerman, Jackie's oldest friend. The reader, actress Pamela Dillman (who herself has a famous family pedigree -- the daughter of Bradford Dillman and stepdaughter of Suzy Parker), narrates the story with verve and just the right amount of tender humor to capture author William Kuhn's literary voice. There is a great deal of affection in his account of his developing relationship with Tuckerman in her old age, as she gradually reveals details about her and Jackie's early years in the upper class world of Miss Porter's school, being an assistant at the White House, the chaos following JFK's assassination, the bumps in their friendship when they both worked at Doubleday, and the losses that came with being friends with someone so famous. Dillman's voice brings out Nancy's crustiness, her moods and her sense of humor. It's a vivid and touching portrait.
