One of the most tawdry was her pick-up and seduction of an 19-year-old Fm with other women. Indeed, after finally shedding her virginity at 19 to Danny Marentette, an indolently wealthy race-horse broker and her onetime-fiance, Christina embarked on a sexual career that included four marriages and divorces, and countless pointless affairs. With me, it is always the other way around.'' The only difference, as Christina herself would later put it, was that ''My father was never happy in love, but he was always successful. She inherited an insatiable sexual friskiness from her father, who had a one-night-stand with Eva Peron while Tina was pregnant and dallied for years with diva Maria Callas. In fact, Christina`s similarities with her father would go far beyond her unfortunate looks. Calling her ''Chryso mou,'' Greek for ''my golden one,'' he may have delighted in this tiny replica of himself. Dark-haired, dusky-skinned and equipped with her father`s beak-like nose and shadowy bags under the eyes, Christina became a life-long, even hated, embarrassment to her patrician mother.Īlthough he only began paying attention to her when he introduced her to the business after Alexander`s 1973 death in a plane crash, Aristotle Onassis did have a tender spot for this ugly duckling child.
On December 11, 1950, in a New York hospital, she delivered Christina, who, to her everlasting horror, resembled Aristotle Onassis in every way. Already thinking that she might marry again in the future, Tina reluctantly but stubbornly refused to abort, reputedly despite beatings by her husband. Tina obliged him with two abortions, but when she turned up pregnant again in 1950, her doctor warned her that if she terminated this pregnancy it might be the last pregnancy she`d ever have. An elegant, delicate-featured blonde, some 30 years his junior, Tina had added allure for the dynastic-minded Onassis as the most adored daughter of Stavros Livanos, patriarach of a prominent Greek shipping family.Īfter their son, Alexander, was born in 1948, Aristotle Onassis had his heir and wanted no more. The trail to that bathtub can be traced back to her unwanted birth to Aristotle Onassis and his wife Athina, called Tina. And to do that she had these terrible drugs, these black mavro mavros (amphetamines) and the fact that, to go to sleep she used to have the nurse injecting her with antidepressants-I mean, it`s a nightmare. I think one of the clues to her death is the fact that she was always taking off weight and putting on weight. The day she died, she`d rung her daughter, saying `I`m buying a ranch, we`re going to get you a pony, you`re going to live this wonderful outdoor life for two or three months a year.` And she was again slimming. ''And she certainly didn`t commit suicide, because she was on a real up.

''She gave them holidays, and they lived with her for six or seven months a year,'' he says, referring particularly to the Doderos, long-time friends who were lavished with free room-and-board, exotic travel and gifts of cash and jewelry in exchange for their attendance on her. ''Well, she certainly wasn`t murdered, because the only people who could have murdered her were were the Doderos and Eleni, her maid, and they had the most to gain by keeping her alive the more she was alive the more she gave them.
Although the Doderos behaved strangely, by barring the medical examiner from the bathroom where the body was found, the Argentine authorities eventually attributed the death to acute pulmonary edema. On the morning of November 19, 1988, she was found, by her devoted, long-time maid Eleni Syros, dead and half-naked in a bathtub, in the Buenos Aires home of friends Alberto and Marina Dodero. In exchange, Christina rewarded him with a $160,000 Ferrari Testarossa sportscar and the promise of a $10 million bonus if a child was successfully conceived and delivered.ĭespite all her mysteriously perverse behavior, according to Dempster, there is no real mystery about Christina`s death. He complied by conveniently, if impersonally, supplying her with a bank of his sperm, with which she was still being inseminated monthly at the time of her death.
So in love was she with Thierry Roussel, her flagrantly unfaithful fourth and final ex-husband, that after the divorce she begged him to father another child by her. Maids were instructed to check the sheets in the mornings for tell-tale signs of transgression and offenders were evicted. These included no bedtime for anyone until she had worked off her own amphetamine-induced insomnia and, above all, no lovemaking under her roof.

So erratic and imperious was Christina that she concocted a series of strange house rules for overnight guests in her many homes.
