The daughter of a graphic designer and a surveyor, she initially studied sculpture and painting at London's Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design but switched to fashion as a more practical career choice. McCartney, a friend, offered her a job with Chloé in Paris, and by the time...

...intense can that competition become? Deborah--not her real name--a Minneapolis, Minn., health-care aide who preferred not to be identified to protect family members' feelings, had always been favored over her elder sister, she says, as the daughter who behaved best. When her parents became ill, she sold her house and moved with her husband and their kids into Mom and Dad's home to care for them. As Mom's dementia worsened, she often refused to take her pills.
