In the final hours of her life, Jackie Kennedy Onassis lay in the bedroom of her NYC apt., surrounded by a variety of close friends and relatives. “It’s seared in my brain what she looked like,” Carly Simon tells NBC News.
“I don't think she thought marrying an artist was such a good idea,” Simon said. “And when I got married to Jim , my second husband, she at first was not in favor of that because Jim was not a provider in the sense that she thought women should have a provider as their husband.”Jake Whitman / NBC News
“She said, ‘Darling, that’s so fantastic, congratulations, but there are so many people who deserved it more, but you won,’” Simon recalled.Simon also cherished their relationship for other reasons. Onassis, she said, spoke to her with a bracing honesty. "Live at Grand Central" is a 1995 concert Carly Simon gave in the middle of New York City's Grand Central Terminal.One day, Onassis went along with Simon to a recording session with the acclaimed opera singer Placido Domingo. Onassis watched as Simon and Domingo sang a song from Miss Saigon for his album, “The Broadway that I Love.”
“For instance, his not being there for the birth of a child, his being off with a mistress while she was in the hospital,” Simon said. “There are various things that he did that by comparison to having a mistress must have hurt more.”When Simon signed a deal with Onassis to write her first book, she was paid an advance of $25,000. When the pair discussed payment for her second book, Onassis asked her for the details of the first deal.
Simon always called the same person. “Jackie,” Simon said. “She was being the mother that I never had. And she was not judging me. She was just so supportive and funny at the same time.” “I held her hand and told her I loved her,” Simon said. “John was standing at the end of her bed with his hands neatly folded and Maurice was there with his hands folded and they were both praying over her.”
