Tour of The White House

February 14, 1962

First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, with her breathless voice, takes television viewers on a tour of the White House, on CBS TV, on this date. (Haven’t you always found it strange that Marylin Monroe and Jackie Kennedy basically had the same voice?)

It was estimated that hundreds of millions of people saw the program, making it the most widely viewed documentary during the genre’s so-called golden age.
