3. The Humanisation Of Jackie Kennedy
Countless actresses have portrayed Jackie Kennedy, tortured wife and-soon-to-be-widow of the president, down the years, from Jaclyn Smith in the 1981 TV movie "Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy" through to Natalie Portman,
slated to appear in upcoming Noah Oppenheim-scripted drama film "Jackie". But none have played the role better than Parkland's Kat Steffens. You've probably never heard of Steffens - she doesn't even have a wikipedia page, but what she does do is humanise Jackie Kennedy. In refusing to let doctors retrieve her husband's broken body because she didn't want them to see her horrific wounds, she vividly brings to life the trauma of that day and the thoughts she had. "You know he's dead, leave me alone". Complete with her blood-stained, now-famous pink Chanel suit, Steffans makes Jackie a real person, and not just a character from the annals of history, and not enough JFK films achieve that.
