Jackie Kennedy's Stylist: JFK Was Murdered
22 Aug
Summary
- Stylist Peter Lamas worked with A-list celebrities including Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Taylor.
- He claims Jackie Kennedy believed Marilyn Monroe was also murdered.
- Lamas details his experiences with Jackie Kennedy in his new book.
Peter Lamas, a celebrated hairstylist, worked with an array of famous clients, including Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, and Audrey Hepburn. His career began with mentorship from Vidal Sassoon and Paul Mitchell in New York City, eventually leading him to Kenneth Battelle's prestigious salon.
It was at Kenneth's salon that Lamas met Jacqueline Kennedy. Initially filling in for Battelle, Lamas soon became Jackie's personal stylist, traveling with her and providing services when the paparazzi made salon visits difficult. He even accompanied her to her wedding to Aristotle Onassis in Greece in 1968.
Lamas details two distinct phases of Jackie's life: as the composed widow of JFK and as 'Jackie O.' He notes a shift in her demeanor after her marriage to Onassis, though she remained confident and intelligent.
During a conversation years later, Jackie confided in Lamas about the assassination of President Kennedy, expressing her belief that Oswald was a pawn and that the same individuals responsible for her husband's death also murdered Marilyn Monroe. Lamas considers this trust a testament to the deep relationships stylists often form with their clients.
Lamas's new book, "Jackie Kennedy's Stylist," chronicles his personal journey and his experiences with prominent figures, emphasizing his humble beginnings and aspirations rather than gossip.
