Onassis (April 30, 1948 - January 23, 1973) was the only son of
Aristotle Onassis and Athina Livanos (alternate spelling: Livanou), also
known as Tina. He had one sibling, Christina Onassis, the mother of
Athina.Alexander was born in Harkness Pavilion, a clinic in New York
City. He had the same name as Onassis's uncle, who was murdered during
World War I. Alexander neither went to school nor had friends of his own
age, and despite not having any academics gifts, he was very
knowledgeable about automobiles and motors, which impressed Gianni
Agnelli from Fiat. His closest friends were his house employees like
Christian Cafarakis. Alexander and Christina were extremely close. Their
bond exceeded the normal ties of a brother and sister. They were bonded
further by the shared traumas caused by a workaholic, obsessive,
sometimes abusive father. Furthermore, it has been written that Tina had
difficult relationships with her children, especially with Christina,
from whom she expected particular perfection.
