With over 500 million copies of her books sold in more than 40 countries and 32 New York Times bestsellers to her credit, she is known for giving her readers an unrivaled insider’s knowledge of Hollywood and the glamorous lives (and loves) of the rich, famous, and infamous. From Jackie's children: Our mother never did anything in small measures! Her extensive and unique collection of art, objects and jewelry is a testament to her passion. Every piece bought her joy and inspiration and the very act of selecting and collecting became an extension of her wildly creative spirit. The story goes, that when our parents first met in the 1960s, our father, who was an artist and avid art connoisseur, introduced our mother to the thrill of collecting. He took her to the flea market in Paris and she was hooked! As children, most weekends, we were bundled off to antique markets all over London, so that she could feed her addiction.
