Heterosexual Life-Partners: There's a very tender scene between Jackie and White House social secretary Nancy Tuckerman. In Real Life, Nancy and Jackie had been school friends since they were little girls. Nancy did stay with Jackie and was her personal secretary for the rest of Jackie's life.

Framing Device: An interview with a reporter in Hyannis Port functions as this, repeatedly flashing back to scenes as they discuss them. However, the conversation with the priest, which starts about halfway through the film, turns out to have occurred later.

We Hardly Knew Ye
 Jackie / int_676e942c
comment
The conversation with Bobby and the ambulance driver indicate she's worried about a We Hardly Knew Ye effect as Jack had been president only 3 years. In the interview, she mentions reporter Merriman Smithnote he phoned in the initial "three shots were fired" report to UPI from the press car telephone now talking about Jack like he was some dusty old historical artifact. She copies Lincoln's funeral because his accomplishments were more memorable than the two other presidents assassinated in office.

Due to the Dead
 Jackie / int_a679184b
comment
Due to the Dead: Much of the film covers the planning for J.F.K.'s funeral. Jackie wants to imitate Abraham Lincoln's lengthy procession as closely as possible, though this creates some security concerns. The conversation with Bobby and the ambulance driver indicate she's worried about a We Hardly Knew Ye effect as Jack had been president only 3 years. In the interview, she mentions reporter Merriman Smithnote he phoned in the initial "three shots were fired" report to UPI from the press car telephone now talking about Jack like he was some dusty old historical artifact.
