Nigel Dempster - Heiress: Story of Christina Onassis
Pan Books, 1991
215 str.
meki povez
stanje: vrlo dobro

As heiress to the world`s largest fortune, Christina Onassis survived a childhood of pampered neglect but carried the scars of her upbringing to the grave. Her search for happiness ended in a lonely death at the age of 38 - half a world away from her fourth husband and beloved child.

Money, by the evidence here, was the sole interesting thing about this heiress`s life. Crediting for his material interviews with Onassis pere and his daughter conducted by Peter Evans for his book Ari , plus his own with hangers-on, lovers and husbands, London Daily Mail columnist Dempster whisks us through the growing-up and post-Ari years of Christina, who died in 1988 at age 38. A baby unwanted by both parents, the unattractive child rarely saw either, but as a teenager--with a $4000 monthly allowance--she grew close to her father. Not until his death did she create sensational headlines: by surrounding herself with a dissolute set whom she both exploited and was exploited by; marrying and divorcing four times with stunning rapidity; taking lovers galore; endlessly humiliating herself. The gossip quotient here is high enough to satisfy tabloid devotees, although Jackie-addicts will be disappointed that Dempster supplies nothing new about the heiress`s stepmother. Photos.
