Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Nancy Tuckerman were friends over seven decades. Nancy almost never talked to people writing books. 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 stiff and willing to tell me little that was new. However, when the teenaged waiter poured her a cold cup of coffee, the mood changed.
We both laughed. That was how we began a friendlier and franker conversation that lasted ten years. This is a revised and expanded version of my article "Inside Jackie O's Longest, Most Complicated Friendship, " VANITY FAIR, July 2019. Nancy's insights about Jackie are on every page, but this is also the story of Nancy Tuckerman herself. As I'm telling the story, it's sometimes about me too.
