Mamie Beat Jackie on the Style Front

Reader Comments

Back to blog

Mamie was known for rhinestones, beef stew, and watching Gunsmoke. She was at best an extension of her husband IKE. West Wing renovations? Mamie was not welcome in her husband's inner sanctum even when he was not taking a nap. As for donations, she accepted a new rug for the Diplomatic Reception Room after her dog left a sizeable puddle. Her legacy - she wore pink and sat when the President told her to......much like her dog.
