| Charles Addams with his sports car and dog |
Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis once dated the cartoonist
Charles Addams, a pairing that seems just about as strange and anything Addams ever
created for his “Addams family” panel cartoons in the New Yorker.
According to the biography Charles Addams: A Cartoonist’s Life by Linda H. Davis, they got
along wonderfully together. The former first lady played with his crossbows,
rode with Addams in his Bentley at 110 mph and was a real fan.
“I love Pugsley and Lurch, but my favorite in Morticia,”
Jackie said. “She and I have a lot more in common than you might think.”

Addams may have harbored hopes of marrying her, but Jackie killed
those in one single chilly sentence. “Well, I couldn’t get married to you,” she
said. “What would we talk about at the end of the say — cartoons?”
Morticia, indeed.
