Sen. John F. Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline, were interviewed by Edwards R. Murrow in their Boston apartment one month after they were married in 1953. The new bride was taken aback when Murrow asked her what requires more diplomacy--her old job as a reporter, or being married. CBS News is bringing back an icon - "Person to Person" with Charlie Rose and Lara Logan airs Wednesday, Feb. 8 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

you can tell Jackie was nervous
@julietteyork6293 2 years ago

Jackie was clearly nervous and hadn’t yet acquired her legendary poise. This clip is surreal.

The world was once so intimate and (seemingly) innocent.

This gives me an intimate glimpse of the allure these two had. So nice to see something of them before history took over.

Oh my goodness, these three people speaking with one another. Three people that I admire more than I can express. Thank you so much for posting this.

Jackie held up beautifully even tho it's obvious this isn't exactly her tea party ♡♡♡

Jackie was down to earth well educated lady. Because of her a job as a journalist she looks so natural on amera and tv especially during the interview. She looks ready to answer any question. Jfk and family must have been proud to have as member of their family.

Jackie was so majestic and imposing.

Strange at the end that he should ask Senator Kennedy to express his appreciation to Mrs Kennedy, she is sitting right there! Convention of the day?

@caitlinallen2797 1 year ago

It was clear that Jackie was quite happy to get away from the camera briefly when JFK was asked to give a tour of their apartment.

It's still so very sad even this many years later.

I love that he's smoking while interviewing them. It gives such a good feel of the old days haha. Yet I wasn't even born at this time but I do remember when it was normal to smoke in restaurants and a lot of other places.
