Christina Onassis
Encyclopedia : C : CH : CHR : Christina Onassis
Born in New York City, she was an awkward-looking child. At the age of seventeen, she got plastic surgery to shrink her nose and remove the dark rings under her eyes.
Christina was married four times. Her first marriage, to Joseph Bolker, ended in divorce because her father did not approve. Christina had many love affairs, and married twice more -- to Alexander Andreadis and later to Sergei Kousov before her final marriage. Thierry Roussel was her fourth husband and the only one with whom she had a child, Athina Roussel. This marriage ended in divorce after Christina discovered that Thierry had been having an affair with a Swedish model, Marianne "Gaby" Landhage, though the relationship continued after the marriage was legally over.
Christina lost her immediate family all within a period of 24 months. Her father's health had started to deteriorate after Alexander's death, and her mother had committed suicide, something which Christina herself had attempted to do a couple of times.
She died at the age of only 37 of pulmonary edema in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Experts say that her premature death was caused by constant drug abuse and dramatic changes in weight.
