In today’s NY Post , Page Six links John Kerry with actress (and Old Navy old lady)Morgan Fairchild in the 1980s. Apparently, Kerry courted some other notables:
“…before his marriage to ketchup heiress Teresa Heinz Kerry, [John Kerry] was also linked to Catherine Oxenberg, Michele Phillips, Patti Davis and British gin heiress Emma Gilbey, now married to New York Times executive editor Bill Keller.”
Whoa! “Gin heiress?” A quick Google reveals that Gilbey (of Gilbey Gin, it turns out) is also British. Which means her journalistic I.D. is usually “British gin heiress Emma Gilbey.” Pretty rad. (FYI, mine is: “American college debt heir Joel Meyer” or often “lavish credit card playboy Joel Meyer”) .
So did John Kerry marry up or marry down when he hitched with the “American ketchup heiress?”
