In 1993, Michael sent Jackie an extravagant gift, perhaps trying to win her over. Recalled Stephen Styles, who was a close friend of John F. Kennedy Jnr’s, ‘Michael was pushing for a deeper relationship, I think. But you just didn’t do that with Jackie; she was the one to set the boundaries. One day, my phone rang and it was John. “You will never guess what’s going on around here,” he said. “My mother is fit to be tied.” Then, he explained to me that a big screen TV had been delivered to Jackie’s apartment building from Michael, and that was so large they couldn’t even get it in the front door of the lobby. It was just out in the middle of the sidewalk on Fifth Avenue, with a giant pink bow on it that said, “For Jackie. The Most Wonderful Woman in the World.” A big crowd had gathered, hoping that the most wonderful woman in the world would come down and claim her prize. “My mother is having a fit, about it,” John said, laughing. They finally got it up to her apartment, but they had to disassemble much of it just to get it in the lobby.’
