A Historical Portrayal by Leslie Goddard, PhD
It is 1964 and the former first lady, besieged by tourists and paparazzi, is struggling to cope with life after Camelot. Attempting to determine her next step, she reviews her life, sharing stories about her marriage, her fight for privacy amidst intense media scrutiny, her work to restore the White House, and her attempts to showcase the arts. As she gradually opens up, you will meet the private woman behind the public myth.
