Film looks at America’s grief
Print Edition
This film recounts America’s outpouring of grief to JFK’s widow, bereaved first lady Jacqueline Kennedy.
Veteran TV comedy writer Janis Hirsch used words to entertain millions of viewers. But the letter she scrawled in early 1964 as a teenager was intended to comfort Mrs Kennedy.
Hirsch’s note, among some 800,000 sent to Mrs Kennedy in the two months after President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas in 1963, is featured along with about 20 others in the moving, finely wrought documentary “Letters to Jackie: Remembering President Kennedy.”
“I know you too have problems, so I will tell you my remedy for smiling and happiness. Always sing ‘You Gotta Have Heart’ (from the Broadway musical ‘Damn Yankees’) and I think you’ll be happy,” Hirsch wrote.
