The day designer Gianni Versace was shot, he had reportedly been out to the shops to buy magazines for his neice, Allegra Beck. Apparently, Allegra never got over this fact, a source told the New York Daily News.

Allegra was recently seen leaving the UCLA Medical Centre - where Mary-Kate Olsen was treated for anorexia - looking frighteningly thin, sparking rumours that she is ill.

Beck has been described as "an intelligent, sensitive, lovely young woman".
