Being Raised in the Bouvier Family Home
In life, it’s frequently more important to know who you know than what you know. In terms of being an American socialite, this was true, and the Bouviers had all the appropriate connections. While Janet Bouvier, Lee’s mother, was a social climber, her father, “Black Jack” Bouvier, worked as a stockbroker in New York City. The Bouvier family concealed their dysfunction by projecting a joyful family image while they were in public. The Bouviers resided in a posh New York neighborhood in the 1940s and 1950s. Lee’s parents split when she was just seven years old because they could no longer hide their instability. In less than two years, her mother remarried to Hugh Dudley Auchincloss Jr.
