I have always been fascinated by the Kennedy women, this biopic is perhaps the most dignified and relevant works on the lives of the wives of the Kennedy brothers. Particularly well done is the portrayal of Joan. The careful balance given by Leslie Stephanson is masterful and beautifully paced and insightful. Lauren Holly's brash and lovable Ethel makes Robert's devotion understandable. Finally we are given a Jackie through Jill Hennessy that is not just a collage of mannerisms based on television clips! Thom Christopher's tight writing is not a sentimental journey but an enchanting examination of extraordinary women placed in extraordinary circumstances by virtue of their exoteric partners.
 Give me strength January 17, 2008

The Women of Camelot
Give me strength! The kennedys must be rolling in their graves at a poorly scripted, over cliched, stiffly acted and if that wasnt enough , BAD wigged women portaying the 'strong but suffering Kennedy women"
Whether or not Ethel Kennedy did have a voice similar to a munchkin with sand in its throat, I dont think Lauren Hollys version gave the woman much credibility. In fact I wished someone had of anethetised her throat or I would have put my head through a window.
BAD wig of the series goes to the Jill Henessy who played the role of Jackie Kennedy. All the money spent on production and they couldnt get the poor girl a decent wig and a good onion to make her tears over Jacks death look beleivable.
And Leslie Stephanson.....the poor misunderstood Joan hitting the bottle over the cruel remarks about her worth and her intelligence. Why hit the bottle........she could have hit the road.
All the scripted stereotyping that the viewer could ever want created a sea of slop that in the end needed a bucket beside the chair of the viewer.
The winner of the bad accent award goes to the kennedy men who put the rhouw onto "yask" and "caarnt" and "pawt". They must of worked hard to get it sooooo OTT.
Buy it but dont expect much except a good nights sleep. Better than benzos and not as addictive,.
 CAMELOT January 1, 2008
Enriqueta A. Netta (Exeter PA)
Jill Hennsey played wonderul role protraying Jackie Kennedy. It gives the viewer a part in the movie itself as there is good drama, and role acting. I felt part of the film myself. Excellent. The story is well written, and gives the many facts that the public hadn't known during the Kennedy era. I was in 7th grade when Pres. Jack Kennedy was assisin. It was a horrible day that afternoon, that we were dismiss from class early and sent home. The church bells rang out in morning. I will never forget that day. I enjoyed the movie very well. Execept for Marilyln Monroe, the part of her character didnt' look like the real one. But it was a fine job too.

Covering much of the same territory as other biopics on the Kennedys, THE WOMEN OF CAMELOT goes more in depth on the three,Jackie,Ethel and Joan who were married to Jack,Bobby and Teddy respectively.Though this 3 hour series hits all of the well known "hot spots" that occurred during the years 1953-1979, what this series does best is to keep the focus squarely on the women and their dealings with each other,their trusts and mistrusts with the Kennedy clan and their needs ,wants and desires that individually fueled them while being married to the most powerful family in America.The casting is outstanding. All three actresses have done a marvelous job at capturing the ladies language,look and movement.This film breezes through material quickly, but not in a way that characters are left undeveloped. History is not sacrificed and neither is character enrichment.Well done and worth the bargain price you pay.
