Biography
American lawyer and author, noted family member as the daughter of John
F. and Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. Gracious, dignified and productive, she
is a credit to her mother's upbringing and her own quality. She and her
brother "John John" were picture-perfect babies for a young
president. It was just before bedtime on 11/22/1963 when Caroline's nurse
told her that her father was dead and the six-year-old mourned deeply. She
moved with her mom and brother to New York City where she entered a
Convent school. By the time that her mom married Greek multimillionaire
Ari Onassis on 10/20/1968, she was poised in international travel and
situations, but never really warmed up to her step-father.
At Concord Academy in Massachusetts, which she entered in 1972,
Caroline's interests in film, photography and social issues began to take
form. In 1973 she interviewed coal miners in Tennessee for a documentary,
and the following summer she visited drug rehab centers in Hong Kong and
worked as an intern at her Uncle Ted's Washington office. After graduating
from Concord, she studied art appreciation in London. By the time she
entered Harvard-Radcliffe the following year, she had dated, smoked pot,
refused to have a society debut and was an object of great curiosity to
the public.
Caroline was drawn to the media as a career and interned at the New
York Daily News in 1977. Graduating in 1979 with a degree in fine arts,
she began working at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1980. While there,
she met 13-year-older Edwin Schlossberg, a cultural historian who was
quiet, affluent, artistic and intellectual. They fell deeply in love but
moved forward slowly.
They married on 7/19/1986, Cape Cod, and their daughter Rose was born
6/25/1988 and Tatiana in May 1990. Their son, John Bouvier Kennedy
Schlossberg, was born 1/19/1993.
In June 1988, Caroline graduated from Columbia's School of Law, and she
published her first book in 1990, "In Our Defense - The Bill of Right
In Action," and co-wrote her second book, "The Right To
Privacy," a Constitutional study, which was published in the Fall of
1995.
When her famous mother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, died of cancer on
5/19/1994, Caroline stepped into her mother's role as a cultural
patron.
Shock and grief struck again on 7/16/1999 when her brother John, his
wife Carolyn and her sister, Lauren Bessette, went down into the ocean off
the coast of Martha's Vineyard in a plane that John was piloting. During
the painful first year after the loss, Caroline held fast to her Catholic
faith, relatives and public duties, but kept grounded by tending to her
kid's colds, homework and meals, often cooking dinner in spite of live-in
help.
