Jackie Kennedy's Stylist
From Cuban Refugee to the Inner Circles of Power, Beauty, and Fame
A memoir by Peter Lamas with Jeff Nelson.
An unprecedented look inside the private lives of America's most powerful women — Jackie Kennedy, Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Diahann Carroll — told by the man who held their secrets and witnessed their vulnerabilities.
Peter Lamas arrived in New York from Havana with nothing. He left a Cuba in revolution, watched his family lose everything, and rebuilt a life as one of the most sought-after hairstylists of his generation — the man called when Jackie Kennedy needed someone she could trust, when Elizabeth Taylor needed someone who would not talk, when an Ernest Hemingway needed his hair cut in Havana before the world changed.
A profound meditation on identity, ambition, and what it truly means to belong — Jackie Kennedy's Stylist is a rare glimpse behind the velvet curtain of fame, told with the discretion of a master and the honesty of a man who finally learned the difference between belonging and becoming.
