Scenes filmed around the capital included one dealing with Jackie's $42.50-a-week stint in the early '50s as the "Inquiring Camera Girl" for the now-defunct Washington Times-Herald. Though the former First Lady eventually covered the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, she never quite clicked with the bulky Speed Graphic cameras then favored for news photography.
