These nude images of Jackie Kennedy Onassis were taken on a Greek beach in 1972 after her own husband tipped off photographers with her exact location, a new book has claimed. The photographs, which show the former First Lady walking casually along a beach in Skorpios, Greece without a scrap of clothing, were part of a widespread smear campaign by her husband, Greek tycoon Aristotle 'Ari' Onassis, the book claims. The images, which were splashed across magazines and newspapers worldwide, were taken as the couple endured a turbulent marriage fraught with infidelity, absences and family scorn. The revelations come from noted Kennedy author Christopher Andersen in his upcoming book 'The Good Son: JFK Jr. and the Mother He Loved'.
