New York (AFP) - Lee Radziwill, the socialite and younger sister of former US first lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, died in New York on Friday at the age of 85, US media reported.

Born Caroline Lee Bouvier on March 3, 1933, she worked as an actress, interior designer and finally a brand ambassador to Giorgio Armani.
