Description from the seller

Patrick Siccoli has photographed celebrities throughout his career. Mick Jagger, the Beatles, Jack Nicholson, Alain Delon and... Fidel Castro, Salvador Dalí.

Christina Onassis (11 December 1950 – 19 November 1988) was a Greek-Argentine businesswoman, socialite and heiress to the Onassis fortune. She was the only daughter of Aristotle Onassis and Athina Mary "Tina" Livanos.
Christina's parents divorced in 1960, precipitated by her father's affair with opera singer Maria Callas. He later married former US first lady Jacqueline Kennedy, widow of US president John F. Kennedy, in 1968. Christina and Alexander reportedly distrusted Kennedy and never warmed to her. Christina's mother married in 1971 Stavros Niarchos, the widower of her sister and Christina's aunt Eugenia Livanos in 1971.

Christina received considerable media attention for her lavish lifestyle, spending habits, and turbulent personal life. Her frequent battles with her weight and inability to find lasting love left her unhappy, despite her wealth. She frequently went on crash diets and would lose large amounts of weight, only to gain it back when she became depressed. Diagnosed with clinical depression at the age of 30, she was prescribed barbiturates, amphetamines, and sleeping pills, to which she developed an addiction. Onassis was reportedly hospitalized for overdosing on sleeping pills in the 1970s.
