Jacqueline Lee Bouvier was born in Southampton, New York. The 28 July, 1929. She was the elder daughter of John Vernou Bouvier III and Janet Norton Lee Bouvier. As a child, Jacqueline became a well-trained rider, and began a lifelong love affair with horseback riding. She won several trophies and medals for her riding. She loved reading, painting, writing poems and shared a warm relationship with her father. Her relationship with her mother, though, was often distant.
She began her college education at Vassar College, in Poughkeepsie, New York and was named "Debutante of the Year" for the 1947-48 season. During her junior year at Vassar, Jacqueline studied foreign countries at the Sorbonne in Paris. When she returned home, she decided not to return to Vassar for her senior year, and instead she was transferred to George Washington University, in Washington D.C., where she graduated with a degree in French Literature.
