albuquerque, new mexico, in 1964. his mother, jackie guice, was a junior in high school when she and her boyfriend ted jorgenson became parents. >> she doesn't talk about it that much, but my mom had me when she was 17 years old. you could ask her but i'm pretty sure that wasn't cool in 1964 to be a pregnant mom in high school. >> but by the time jeff turned 2, his mother and jorgenson, a circus performer and unicyclist had split up, and jackie was left to raise her son on her own. >> look at jeff. look at that hair and the glasses. >> one of bezos' closest friends from high school, joshua weinstein, remembers jackie as a loving and determined mother. >> jackie is the toughest, hardest working person i've ever met and the most loyal, and jeff gets that from jackie. >> jackie bezos was clearly the force in jeff's life. a fiercely protective mother who
