After the White House

In 1968 she surprised many of her admirers by marrying jet-setting multimillionaire Aristotle Onassis. Some claimed that only he could provide the privacy she craved from the paparazzi (celebrity photographers) who dogged her after she left the White House. Although rumors circulated that the couple spent more time apart than together, they were still married when Onassis died in 1975. His widow moved to New York City, where she worked as a book editor from 1978 until her death from lymphatic cancer.
