Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, widow of John F. Kennedy, called her daughter Caroline's husband an 'egghead' and said he was a 'boring old fogey' behind his back, according to reports. The former First Lady's name calling was a result of her mistrust of Ed Schlossberg, who is 12 years older than Caroline. Her open contempt for Mr Schlossberg ended when Caroline threatened to cut Jackie off from her grandchildren.[1]
Maurice Tempelsman had known her for more than 30 years and had been her constant companion for more than a decade, sharing everything: the daily victories, big and small, the adventures and frustrations of her complex life, and then her final months of suffering. He walked with her in the park in her last days, steadying the frail body with his hand, and he was at the bedside on 19 May 1995, the night she died. Tempelsman met Jackie Kennedy in the 1950s, when he arranged a meeting for then-Senator John F. Kennedy with De Beers South African diamond interests. After she was widowed a second time with the death of Aristotle Onassis in 1975, Tempelsman became her financial adviser. He is reported to have quadrupled her $26 million inheritance.[2]
