Document 253354
JACQUELINE KENNEDY. ANS: "Jackie"
beneath typed note from "N", 1p, 8½x5½. In full: "Steve - this
didn't take/Jackie (Jan 30, 1990)". Headed: "To Jackie Onassis
7/8/89". In part: "I think Brooke could do a small wonderful book
on Why I Love New York-which would give her a chance to expand on her enthusiasm
for the city and to show how she lives her life so fully. If she's not
comfortable doing a long essay on the above, one way to structure it would be to
chronicle a period of time in her life-say, six weeks like Bill Buckley did in
Overdrive. What do you think?" ROBERTA BROOKE RUSSELL had married
Vincent Astor, heir to the fortune of fur magnate and financier John Jacob
Astor, in 1953. After his death in 1959, Brooke Astor became the President of
the Vincent Astor Foundation, which provided nearly 100 grants each year to
charitable organizations, civic programs and cultural institutions in New York
City. From 1978 until her death in 1994, JACQUELINE KENNEDY ONASSIS
worked in New York City as an editor for Doubleday. Brooke Astor, who
celebrated her 100th birthday on March 31, 2002, never wrote the book suggested
to Mrs. Onassis in this letter. Lightly creased. Fine condition.
