Character Traits

Common Bouvier Traits

Like her twin daughters, Patty and Selma, she smoked heavily, but quited at about 40 and speaks as raspily as they do. She never smiles, except in "Lady Bouvier's Lover", thus seeming largely pessimistic, critical and unsociable. She also seems to disapprove of Marge's marriage to Homer (this, again, is a similarity with Patty and Selma, who share a hatred for their brother-in-law).

Romantic Relationships

She had a brief romance with Abraham Simpson, Homer's father. However, she broke up with him when she was wooed by billionaire Montgomery Burns, whom she came close to marrying before Abraham's intervention made her decide she was better off alone.

Younger Days

When going through an old photo album, Abe Simpson can't help but notice Jackie used to be 'nifty number' in her younger years. Jackie tells him she got a lot of attention from the boys in her days, which drove all of her friends (Zelda Fitzgerald, Frances Farmer, and little Sylvia Plath) into insanity. (Lady Bouvier's Lover).

Name Orgin

The character is created by creator Matt Groening is named after Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. She has the tallest hair of any simpson character
