Now, I know this may sound condescending to some, but television and radio personality Jackie O (Of the Kyle and Jackie radio program, and host of several horrible shows including Big Brother) did not originate the name "Jackie O".
It is startling, but I do wonder how many people (mainly of the internet savvy generation) are aware of the original Jackie O. That is Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. See the picture to your left. Thats here. Widow of one of the most popular American Presidents ever John F. Kennedy. Was with him as he was assassinated. Then 5 years later married billionaire Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis.
The Jackie O of Australia (born Jacqueline Ellen Last, first married name O'Neill, second married name Henderson) chose to adopt the name that is synonymous with class, grace and very chic fashion for what ever reasons, but the idea stuck. When young whipper snappers are bobbing along to their groovy tunes at the local happening and the name Jackie O pops up, surely the first picture that will pop into their young, wacky, zany heads will be of the host of Australian Princess. And in my humble opinion, that is very sad. Long may the real Jackie O rest in peace.
R.I.P. the REAL Jackie O (Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis)
1929-1994
And naturally, of course, I am interested to know how many of you out there had heard of the original Jackie O, or did you think that she was the originator? (like the terminator!)
