r5, CBK is my best-dressed woman ever, but I acknowledge that your correct observation is why she made minimalism work perfectly.

She knew better than anybody that her physical canvas; the conventional, classic status signifiers of white, tall, blonde, needed no embellishment by garment. In and of themselves, they already were powerful.

All her garments needed to do was cover her, and those covers consisted of her superb sense of restraint in perfectly cut, classic styles.

I've never seen a pic of CBK in a bad choice, although, her style was never put to the test of the 70s and 80s, when even Jackie O made a couple of ridiculous choices.

If her and JFK, Jr were still alive she'd have long ago dumped his boring ass and, by now, be on her 3rd or so hedge-fund billionaire.

From what I saw and read, CBK had the upper hand in that relationship with JFK, Jr. He seemed much more invested than she did.

Physically, the words incomparably handsome do not begin to describe JFK, Jr.

Still, while watching him being interviewed by Larry King, Oprah or Walters, I realized that gorgeous face diverted from the reality that, personality-wise, JFK, Jr. was not Mr. Excitement. In fact, he was a bit dull.

JFK, Jr. was helplessly besotted with her, while her investment wasn't as deep. It's just that her feminine ego couldn't pass up the opportunity to be the singular woman who took the World's Most Eligible Bachelor off the market.

I can't remember what publication it was, maybe Vanity Fair? that subtly indicated, if you read between the lines that his sister Caroline seemed somewhat distant or tepid about the prospect of her brother marrying CBK.

Maybe she worried that her brother's heart was going to be broken.

She seemed like she would be a cold mother. I think she didn’t get pregnant because the marriage wasn’t what she expected and then she’d be trapped. At the point when she died the marriage was failing, so not sure why, according to some reports, he was still pushing for a baby.

The Michael Bergen story sounds fishy. Not sure I believe any of it. He just needed to sell books.

She's not my normal 'type', but one thing i'll say is that she always looked RICH. The more I look at her I find her to be quite poignantly beautiful, with her sad fish eyes and big lips. I also don't actually mind the big nose.

It was the era for big tall blondes with broad shoulders in minimalist outfits. It reminds me of the way Julia Roberts' character in Notting Hill dressed. I think Sharon Stone and Courtney Love were also in their clean cut Versace / CK phase and had similar styling. Cate Blanchett burst on the scene around the same time and also had quite a strong nose and chin, was very tall, pale and blonde.

There was once video on YouTube of Carolyn commanding a CK photo shoot years ago and she was in complete control of those models.

From numerous accounts, Carolyn had a temper and liked to have her own way. She also liked to shop and JFK, Jr. was constantly complaining about the clothing bills she amassed.

Carolyn had decided not to attend that Kennedy wedding on Cape Cod, and only did so after JFK, Jr.'s personal assistant convinced her to go or else the tabloids would make much of her absence.

Much is made about her "style", but all her style consisted of with this: severely pulled back hair, red lipstick and a black dress. On the last day of her life she went to Saks and bought a dress (as if she needed a new dress) t wear at Rory Kennedy's wedding: a $1,630 black off-the-shoulder silk crepe number from Rive Gauche, the ready-to-wear line from Yves Saint Laurent.

It’s odd because she seemed like the type that would bask in the attention and love the limelight. I will never understand why she married him.

[quote] I will never understand why she married him.

I alluded to this upthread and I like this opportunity provided by r167 to elaborate.

I don't know what was in CBK's heart and mind about JFK, Jr.

I do, however, know how heterosexual females, generally, operate when it comes to competing with other women, and especially when it comes to men.

It would be the rare straight woman, no matter how genuinely media shy and averse to publicity, who could resist being The One who snagged JFK, Jr. ; The One who he asked to marry him.

Ego and feminine vanity, simply put, played a part in why she married him. His physical beauty, his position, who he was, was the frosting on the cake. I don't fault her. I don't know of any human being who could resist seizing that opportunity.

But, although I didn't read Michael Bergin's cashing-in book which, conveniently, he wrote after both JFK, Jr, and CBK were dead, still, I have no problem believing him that CBK and him maintained a sexual relationship.

For all his physical beauty, JFK, Jr. was dull. He wasn't Mr. Excitement. And believe you me, when a woman finds her man dull and boring, there's no alleviating that. Again, my belief was that he much more invested in that relationship than she was.

I didn't need to. It took some effort to see and hear beyond his looks, but while watching him being interviewed, it came through. If this guy wasn't who he was, and how he looked, he'd have no spark going for him, personality-wise.

I've written it before and will again- if both were still alive, long ago, CBK would've dumped his boring ass and by now be on her 2nd or 3rd hedge-fund billionaire.

No way in hell was she cut out to be a Kennedy wife. She apparently hated the limelight. But what did she expect? Marrying him was really stupid. But how could she have not married John-John, Prince of Camelot, heir to the Kennedy throne? Of course she would. But I think she was already regretting it by the time she and her sister and her witless husband went down to the sea in a death spiral.

Karl is actually just some poor tormented father, enabling his junkie daughter by giving her money and so protective of his wife that he has her believe her daughter is dead rather than reveal the truth about her. And where did it imply that he was the "source" of the Ouija board or the crucifix? He has great concern and pity for Regan, telling Karras "Think you for helping Miss Regan."

Early photos of her, before she lost weight and bleached her hair blonde, plainly showed she was ordinary looking. Then she transformed herself into a spectacular beauty by becoming skinny with a long mane of very blonde hair. For some, that constitutes great beauty; skinny, with long blonde hair. But her face was not what you would call pretty; gaunt, with a large nose. She was, after her transformation, "striking." But beautiful? I never thought so.

Rich socialites are not really beautiful so even Carolyn’s horse face is gorgeous relative to the other ugly and plain ones, she will definitely stand out and be striking. Same with Diana, the royal family and british aristocracy are collections of really ugly people, and the other duchess is Sarah, so she was considred very beautiful. But since rich people buy pretty starlets for spawning, the rich people get a bit easier on the eyes, but dumber… hence we get the likes of Prince Harry, Paris Hilton, stephanie seymours kids, Liz Hurley’s kid.
