The CBS camera was rolling as Jackie Kennedy walked down a hallway. Her outfit and lipstick were red. She had a bouffant hairdo and full lips. 

In black and white, she was giving 46 million Americans a televised tour of the White House. She pretended that the camera was not even there. In fact, Jackie had written the script herself. She did not want anyone calling her ' First Lady'. Everyone adored her.

The Bay of Pigs had tarnished the President's image. Not so with Jackie. She enjoyed telling the American people the history of the White House. She had an emotional attachment to the presidential home.

After the special was over, Jackie was tired. It took 7 hours to record the 1 hour special. It became one of the most watched specials in television history. Jackie won an Emmy that year for the special.

America loved Jackie Kennedy.
