Athina Onassis Roussel

I found the Vanity Fair article about her that's quite long so I will not post it here but instead give the link: http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2005/05/athina200505

It mentions her possible lipo, as well as the breakdown in her relationship with her father. Very interesting read, although I think it is good for her to learn more about Greece and her heritage I don't think she is at all ready to head the Foundation she is not at all suited for it.
 
^Yeah, the article by Nicholas Gage from May 2005 was very interesting. Also the one Vanity Fair published in November 1997 was in fact the article that started my interest in her. It was by Edward Klein.
