I’d seen newspaper photographs of [Mrs. Kennedy], of course, but in person she was much more striking than I had imagined. She was tall - about five foot seven inches - but it was the way she carried herself, almost gliding into the room with a dancer’s erect posture, that exuded an air of quiet confidence. Her chin-length, dark brown hair was perfectly coiffed, and she wore just a touch of makeup, enough to accentuate her dark brown eyes and full lipsbut still look natural. She was very attractive, very gracious, and very pregnant.
