Dianne Russell Condon's fascination with the Kennedys was ignited by old Life magazines, books, and Ron Gallela photographs. She worked on Ted Kennedy's presidential campaign in 1980 before continuing her career in the book business, where she has worked for the past nine years. She was born in Queens, New York, where she currently resides with her husband and young son.
. An American icon. A legend.
Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was all of that, and yet she was an extremely private person. For the first time since the fabled auction, the items that only a privileged few were able to view are captured in all their beauty in Jackie's Treasures: The Fabled Objects from the Auction of the Century by Dianne Russell Condon, with a foreword by Dominick Dunne.
Jackie's Treasures, includes fifty of the most talked about and intriguing items from the auction that made headlines around the world. Each item is accompanied by vintage photographs and a brief history detailing its provenance. Condon presents an array of pieces that extend throughout Jackie's life--John F. Kennedy's rocking chair, John Jr.'s high chair, the now famous humidor given to John F. Kennedy by Milton Berle, Jackie's pearls, and the Lesotho III, her engagement ring from Aristotle Onassis.
