Word’s broken that Rachel Weisz is set to play Jackie Kennedy in a new movie, but some are skeptical of the casting choice. We say: have you seen any of the previous portrayals? There’s plenty of room for improvement.
There are a lot of movies in which actresses portray Jackie – whether as a Bouvier, a Kennedy or an O. Jaclyn Smith donned a pink suit in 1981. In JFK, Jackie was furtive and pained. And in the past year, Jeanne Tripplehorn picked up the aviators to fix up Grey Gardens. In all, more than 30 actresses have worn the pillbox. And all of them have had absurd accents.
In 2000’s Jackie Bouvier Kennedy Onassis (yes, that’s the title) Emily VanCamp played her as a reserved, sepulchral child.
