JFK and Jackie were the best-looking couple ever!

In what universe?

You could place your entire hand, fingers spread out, between Jackie‘s eyes.

Well….

I think Tom and Nicole were a better looking couple.

OP, you're fucking boring and entirely stupid.

They were a handsome couple, which just shows looks are deceiving.

Jack Kennedy, his father and his brothers were all dicking any bitch who spread her legs wide enough, while pretending to be happily married and men "of faith."

JFK always looked like a combination of a weasel and a horse to my eyes.

Melania and I are the sexiest first couple. I'm a 6'3", 220 pound stud!

Mmmno.

They were young and attractive. He had vision and she had Chanel.

They also made John John. That was the gene pool lottery right there.

R10, I don’t find either of them all that good looking, but they did produce one of the most beautiful men I’ve ever seen in John John.

Those genes were magic.

John John got the best features of both parents

Young Jill and Joe were actually a nice looking couple too. Of course she was much more hoish than Jackie Kennedy as she was still married to her first husband when she started fucking Uncle Joe.

Both were very attractive. They had “it” in spades. Jackie was pretty. Yes, she had wide set eyes, but she was very pretty and looked very regal.

That picture makes them look more alike than many pictures do - and John, Jr definitely got the Bouvier coloring and looks.

Excuse us?

They looked better together than they did apart. Definition of a bella coppia.

Compare them to the dump truck couplings of every presidency before them and since. It makes sense people are still in love with this couple. Obamas were pretty too but the Kennedys were OG.

No one is swooning over the glamour of Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower?!!!

She was odd looking. She could see around corners without turning her head.

She is described in A Prayer For Owen Meany as “cow eyed.”

My favorite Jackie photo is the one taken of her on the sidewalk by a stalker paparazzo in 1971. She was pissed but it’s a great pic.

JFK, jr. was a beautiful man. His sister looks more like the Kennedys.

The Obamas are also a glamorous couple.

Everyone liked that photo of Jackie, it's a great one but I think she felt like she was being stalked by the photographer.

She had style . Often a woman of less than stellar looks might have great style ,wich makes them seem more beautiful . Personally I thought Jackie was gorgeous in the 50s-60s and far less so later in life. I never thought JFK particularly hot but I also know some men just have that certain something that overrides all that . He might have exuded masculinity and confidence in person .Pictures often cant capture that . We see pics of some hottie from long ago that was considered a real ladies man and think "Eeeewww" but he might have had that certain something .Hence the reputation as a great lover .

Did JFK had a reputation as a great fuck, r25? I heard he was really fast and had an average cock.

Are you also the one who cannot decide on which nose to get or the one with the Condoleeza Rice obsession, OP? (I'm asking because this topic pops up with similar regularity.) They're both hot mids, at best. They were slim and she looked good in clothes, and this alone did some heavy lifting. He was mostly teeth. But don't ask me, I don't "get" other celebs either, like Travolta.

I will never get this idea that they were Mr and Mrs Gorgeous. He was moonfaced, the only thing he had going for him was being relatively young. She was hyena-ish looking...I don't get it. They did priduce one very good looking son but thats just because he got the actual good parts from both.

He bagged a lot of women R26 so he had to have had something .

^^^That something was power and money.

We never heard of JFK's liasons while he was president. I'm glad of that.

Why do some people say that JFK had weird eyes?

Excuse you, OP

He was the poster boy for wham bam thank you ma'am.

The draw was the power and money but also off the charts charisma. Jackie had it too. Everyone in their orbit was besotted with them for the rest of their lives. They had some kind of magic.

Glowing

They weren't super attractive. But, compared to previous older presidents and first ladies, JFK and Jackie looked like supermodels. People were probably bored of seeing Dwight and Mamie on newspapers, magazine covers, or on TV. A 40 something president and his 30 something wife were probably fresh breath of air for many.

Bitch, are you saying I wasn't a supermodel?!

Both had movie star looks

Well they were certainly no Don & Mel.

The bar is low for “beautiful” First Ladies. Basically,if you’re not hideous you have “movie star looks”.

Dave Powers said to them as they were getting off the plane in Dallas, "You two look like Mr. and Mrs. America".

Mary Gallagher, who worked for both of them, indicated that there was just something kind of breathtaking about his presence. I had a friend decades ago who was friends with her in DC. She would never talk about his catting around, however.

He was not a good fuck. My dad was a WH reporter back in the 60s. It was well known he had the finesse of a 13 yo boy. Rough, fumbling and fast. Would fuck a girl in the elevator between floors floors 1 and 2.

JFK apparently used to say that he wasn't finished with a woman until he had her three ways. He was ramped up from meds.

>>John F. Kennedy, who was just 43 when elected president in 1960, was the youngest person ever elected to the Oval Office. Outwardly, he seemed like the picture of youthful vitality and health, but the American public didn’t know that beneath the young president’s robust image, he was someone who struggled with numerous health issues.

>>Despite JFK’s slim, athletic-looking physique and skill at pastimes such as golf and sailing, he contended with spinal problems and osteoporosis that left him in chronic pain. He was also afflicted with Addison’s disease, a condition in which damaged adrenal glands don’t produce enough hormones, causing fatigue, digestive difficulties and low blood pressure. And he experienced severe allergies and urinary tract infections.

>>As historian Robert Dallek discovered when studying his medical records years later, Kennedy took as many as 12 different medications at once. He used demerol and methadone for pain, barbiturates to help him sleep, an amphetamine, thyroid hormone, and an anti-anxiety medication, and injections of gamma globulins to fight infections, among other prescriptions.

>>“In actuality, he had the most complex medical history of anyone to occupy the White House,” Dr. Lee R. Mandel wrote in 2009 in Annals of Internal Medicine.

Who are we, second bananas?

R12- Intelligence was NOT one of them.

It took DUM DUM like 3 times to pass the bar exam.

R38- Jackie O had EMBRYO in the womb looks.

No, the best looking couple BY FAR was Ted Kennedy and Mary Jo Kopechne

Who?

Well, obviously, he didn't think so.

JFK Jr looks like he had a different dad.

Joe Jr, the anointed one before he took on that suicide mission to compete with JFK the PT 109 hero, was rather handsome .

And Rosemary, the one old Joe lobotomized, was by far the prettiest daughter.

R50 Wrong

They were glamorous and chic after decades of old guys and frumpy or horsey looking first ladies. The Obamas were more conventionally attractive.

teddy and Joan were a more attractive couple back in the 60s.

Michelle Obama is an icon but she is not prettier than Jackie.

OP obvi never saw a photo of James and Janet Debarge.

OP, I'm guessing you're white.

If Wes Moore becomes president in 28, he and his wife will take the cake for best looking first couple ever. Said what I said.

I couldn't stand that fake whisper voice Jackie used. You know that's not what she sounded like when she was berating Junior for fucking people like Madonna and Darryl Hannah.

[quote]No one is swooning over the glamour of Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower?!!!

In Fellow Travelers the Matt Bomer character is forced to take a lie detector test about his secret gay activities. He focuses on a picture of Mamie Eisenhower to keep his pulse rate down, and passes the test with flying colors.

There were some rumors to that effect, r50, but Jr looked a lot like his dad as he aged, especially the eyes.

Nah, OP.

Halle Berry and Eric Benet were INSANELY hot together. Too bad they never had a child together.

I can't find a good image, but Freda Payne and Gregory Abbot were fire.

I thought the fake whisper voice was how a certain generation of wealthy upper crust, finishing school ladies were taught to speak. "Never raise your voice, it's unrefined and un-ladylike".

Wasn't this why Cora on DA spoke the way she did? Once when she was mad at Mary she dropped it.

Since you lumpen fraus & ancient queens are still chattering about us half a century later we obviously were plebeian mediocrities just like vous.

In photographs, showing teeth while smiling looks sociopathic.

R65 You must be a serial killer with a fetish.

Both had perfect set eyes

She was majorly walleyed. And he had pig eyes.

John John was so handsome and so dead…

She was not beautiful or gorgeous. I feel like I’m looking at a different person than the one whom so many will rave about her “great beauty”.

Kamala and Doug, thank you.

Agreed r70. She was well dressed and somewhat glamorous but beautiful? Absolutely not.

The appearance and demeanor of the Kennedys reflected their wealth and breeding. A certain polish.

Sadly, R69, he didn't get the Brains gene from either parent, or he might still be here. I guess he got JFK's post-Dallas brain instead. (What, too soon?)

Why are people saying that JFK Jr. wasn't smart?

r75, he flunked the Bar Exam a few times plus he wasn't qualified to fly a plane at night, yet tried it.

She was 33. My mom’s age. It’s hard to imagine the sheer thrill of having someone like her in the WH, after coming of age in depression and war, and getting married in the Eisenhower years. And that was without the internet.

See The Right Stuff, and Betty Grissom’s reaction to not meeting Jackie for a taste…

Jackie had…grace.

John and Jackie weren’t even the best looking couple of the early Sixties.

I never found JFK hot.

Many people flunk the bar exam.

Jackie was plain, even borderline ugly.

Like them or not, ScarJo and Ryan Reynolds were gorgeous together.

Makes me wish I didn’t know anything behind the facade.

Oh, pul-eeze. The best-looking couple ever is...

(drum roll please)

Amal and George

Sorry, R85. I'm laughing too hard at the title of the article and its teaser to be able to see the photos.

No

JFK and 45 minutes with Marlene Dietrich in 1963

[quote] The clock reached 6:15 before J.F.K. loped in, kissed her, poured himself some wine, took her out on the balcony and talked about Lincoln. “I hope you aren’t in a hurry,” he said. Marlene explained that, alas, 2,000 Jews were waiting to give her a plaque at 7 p.m., and it was now 6:30...”That doesn’t give us much time, does it?” said J.F.K., looking straight into her eyes. Marlene confesses that she likes powerful men and enjoys hanging their scalps on her belt. So she looked straight back and said: “No, Jack, I guess it doesn’t.” With that, he took her glass and led the way out into a corridor and then round a corner into -- the presidential bedroom. And then, in M.D.’s words: “I remembered about his bad back -- that wartime injury. I looked at him and he was already undressing. He was unwinding rolls of bandage from around his middle -- he looked like Laocoon and that snake, you know? Now, I’m an old lady, and I said to myself: I’d like to sleep with the President, sure, but I’ll be goddammed if I’m going to be on top!”

[quote]But it seems everything was OK; J.F.K. took the superior position; and it was all over sweetly and very soon.

When she returned from Washington to her NY apartment her son in law was staying with her. She pulled a pair of pink panties out of her crocodile leather bag, held them under his nose and said, 'Smell this. That's him, the President of the United States. He was wonderful.'"

JFK had his father, Joe's, eyes although not in the same degree. Anyone who met Joe Kennedy for the first time remarked on his extraordinarily penetrating eyes - like daggers right through you.

I could see how Jackie could be perceived as a trendsetter coming after Mamie (who looked like Moe Howard in drag) Bess Truman and Eleanor Roosevelt. She was younger and brought a more youthful look to the whitehouse.
