Dodi Fayed was born into a wealthy family, but he also had a career of his own as a film producer. He served as executive producer for several movies between the 1980s and 1990s, including "Hook" and "Chariots of Fire." However, Fayed is perhaps best known as being a playboy, a title bestowed upon him by the press due to his extensive relationship history. He was often seen publicly with different celebrities, including Winona Ryder, Brooke Shields, and Julia Roberts. While he was reportedly only interested in famous women, he didn't seem to want any commitments. Rather, he was addicted to getting pictures taken with them by the press, which was more appealing to him than dating them.
However, before meeting Princess Diana, there were two exceptions to the commitment-phobia practiced by Dodi Fayed. First, he was married to Suzanne Gregard, who is best known for her modeling work in the 1980s. The two wed in 1986 but divorced just six months later. Gregard herself has kept a relatively low profile and is thought to be remarried and still living in the U.S.
Dodi Fayed almost got married a second time (before rumors of a possible engagement with Princess Diana emerged). This time, he proposed to another model named Kelly Fisher. Fisher and Fayed were together for about two years, which was considered an unusually long time for Fayed.
