...Monica Lewinsky grew up in a $1.6 million Beverly Hills home. Her parents owned three cars, including a Cadillac and a Mercedes, and spent freely on themselves (symphony season tickets, artwork and wine) and on Monica and her brother Michael, including tennis lessons ($720 a month), baby sitting ($300 a month) and hairstyling for Monica ($100 a month). Vacations frequently involved spending amounts in excess of $20,000 a year. The monthly psychiatrist's bill...
...Lewinskys' divorce came just as Monica entered Beverly Hills High School. Eden Sassoon, 24, and the daughter of celebrity hair stylist Vidal Sassoon, was a classmate who would often have Lewinsky over to her house. "She was not my best friend.

Lewinsky left Beverly Hills High abruptly during her junior year. At Bel Air High, a tiny $12,000-a-year prep school designed for smart kids facing personal problems, a more self-assured Monica began to emerge. She got involved in drama, the choral group and art.

In the school yearbook Monica's senior year, a classmate calls Lewinsky her "guardian angel." Lewinsky's page included dedications...

Those who knew her describe Monica as a big-hearted and reliable friend. Recalls Dick Morgan, a former neighbor: "She was a listener who was interested in people." But some also remember her as sharp-tongued and talking too much. She liked name dropping, telling friends she knew Tori Spelling and the Menendez brothers back in Beverly Hills High. (Spelling said last week that...
Some fellow psychology majors from Lewis and Clark have banded together--anonymously--to circulate a message of support: "Monica is the epitome of a true friend." A couple of Website fan clubs have also sprung up, but most of the Internet home pages that revolve around her name are sardonic depositories of tawdry humor. She faces countless depositions and grand-jury testimonies and the possible charge that she perjured herself in denying an affair with the President...
