Lee Was Given an Ultimatum

Her first try at acting had gone horribly wrong. However, Capote had sold Lee on the concept of becoming a celebrity. She saw it in her future and wanted to pursue it. The difficulty was that she was not very talented and lacked proper training. In 1944, she appeared in a remake of Laura. Lee thought it was better than her previous performance, but her husband saw it as the last straw. Lee wasn’t just embarrassing herself; she was also dragging her family along. He needed to halt it, and he knew exactly how. The Prince offered his wife an ultimatum, stating that she could give up her dream of becoming a star or say goodbye to her children. Lee’s children came first, and for her, the choice was clear.

Jackie Stabbed Her Sister in the Back

Lee and Jackie had done some terrible things to each other, but the worst had to have occurred in 1968. In the fall of that year, Jackie married Lee’s ex-lover, Aristotle Onassis. Lee had never expected much from her sister, but she had certainly not expected her to do this. Lee experienced betrayal like she had never before. The worst thing was that Jackie had not informed her about the situation. Instead, she had to hear it directly from Onassis. Lee, like any good socialite, put on a brave face and congratulated the couple. You can only image what she looked like when the cameras were turned away.
