The network announced Wednesday that for the first time viewers will hear the former First Lady in conversations with historian /*Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr*/. The recordings were made in the spring of 1964 and sealed until now.
A series of special reports will draw on these seven interviews totaling more than eight hours of audio recordings, in which Jackie Kennedy shared her impressions of life with her husband, /*President John F. Kennedy.*/ The tapes were left to daughter Caroline Kennedy. Their release is timed to the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy Administration.
The network says the centerpiece will be a special prime-time hour, with additional programs airing across all ABC News broadcasts and platforms this September. /*Diane Sawyer*/ will anchor.
