There is more on this in Fiona's Wikipedia entry, which also has details of her career: "Campbell-Walter's mother encouraged her to model and, as a teenager, she was photographed by Henry Clarke. She joined the Lucie Clayton Charm Academy, a London-based modelling agency and finishing school. She signed as a model and was a favorite of the photographer Cecil Beaton. In the 1950s she was earning up to £ 2,000 a day. In January 1953 she was featured on the cover of Life Magazine and was featured in Vogue. She was also photographed by John French, Elsbeth Juda, Norman Parkinson, and David Bailey and modelled for Christian Dior, Jacques Fath, and Elsa Schiaparelli." and her personal life: "On 17 September 1956 she married Baron Hans Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza de Kászon et Impérfalva at Castagnola, a Swiss village on the coast of Lake Lugano. She was the third wife of Thyssen-Bornemisza, a Dutch-born German-Swiss heir and art collector who was a member of the Hungarian nobility. Upon her marriage, she became a baroness, retired from modelling and moved to the Villa Favorita on Lake Lugano. She and her husband had two children: Baroness Francesca Thyssen-Bornemisza (born 7 June 1958); married Archduke Karl von Habsburg Baron Lorne Thyssen-Bornemisza (born 15 June 1963) She divorced Thyssen-Bornemisza on 20 January 1965 and moved to London with her children. In 1969 she received media attention for her affair with Greek shipping heir Alexander Onassis, the only son of Aristotle Onassis. Onassis had invited Campbell-Walter, 16 years his senior and a friend of his mother, Athina Mary "Tina" Livanos, to a dinner party."
