Episode 9: A Brush With Death Jan 06, 2021

But that didn’t stop her from having fun— maybe even too much.

Kennedy next to the squat and abrasive Greek business tycoon Aristotle Onassis, you might assume they had nothing in common— but in fact, they were both wealthy, hyper-competitive, and big time womanizers, stopping at nothing to get whatever—and whoever—they desired.
