"The very 'in' new eating club in London is Burke's, on Clifford Street.  The Earl of Lichfield and his partner, Dougie Heyward, assigned the decoration to Tessa Kennedy.  It has apricot walls, brown leather banquettes and paintings of gardens and huge bouquets by Christiane Kubrick, wife of Stanley Kubrick, the film producer."

"Tessa Kennedy will be on the movie screens soon.  She designed the Scottish castle settings for "Tamlin," the picture [[Roddy McDowall]] has directed with Ava Gardner starring."

"The bell, however kept on ringing."

"It wasn't until I met her, on a day of sullen snow in New York and in the solemn conference room of the bank she uses as a sort of office on her frequent business trips to New York, that I remembered."

"Today, at 28, and president of Kennedy-Sumner Ltd. of London, Tessa Kennedy is somehow too much of a personage to question about her private life.  She volunteers this much: 'I never would have worked if I didn't have three children to support.  I'm glad it happened the way it did.  As far as character is concerned it's been the best thing for my life.  I like the challenge and the tempo."

"She goes to Jordan every two months to check on the progress of the palaces.  There are patios, fountains, a three-story domed room with pierced alabaster windows and mosaic floors.  'The workers are fantastic.  I go in and say, "This floor is wrong."  The next day it's all changed.  But of course, there is not much work done when one isn't there.' "

"With her partner, she has twenty jobs on hand now."
