Jean Christensen worked in the World Wildlife Fund’s Public Relations Department and met Andre in the early 70s; their relationship may or may not have been romantic; unfortunately Jean died in 2008.
Andre the Giant was an internationally acclaimed professional wrestler known for his size and strength.

Roussimoff was an outstanding performer, beloved by audiences. He even ventured into acting, appearing on several TV shows – one being The Six Million Dollar Man where he played Sasquatch! Later in life, acting was his source of peace; one such filming project being The Princess Bride because all cast members treated him like an equal participant.
