Producer Lester Persky tells us he has interest from all three networks for the six-to-eight-hour miniseries of the Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis story that he’d like to have ready for next


season. He completed his rights deal for C. David Hayman’s unauthorized 728-page “A Woman Named Jackie”--due out May 3 from Lyle Stuart, Inc.--just last week for “substantial six figures,”


Persky said. Already the object of intense media heat, “A Woman Named Jackie” reportedly includes information drawn from some 800 interviews, as well as previously unreleased letters, White


House records and FBI files--plus a word-for-word reproduction of the prenuptial agreement she signed before marrying Aristotle Onassis. Persky, who produced NBC’s miniseries version of


Hayman’s “Poor Little Rich Girl,” said his new project will cover “Mrs. Onassis’ entire life, from even before she was born.” He added, “We will try to do it in a quality way, with tact.”


Onassis’ spokeswoman told us that Jackie has no plans to respond either to Hayman’s book or Persky’s miniseries treatment of it: “We never respond . . . we don’t encourage them, obviously.”
