[edit]Personal life
Simpson was born inGreen Bay, Wisconsin, to Joanne Carole Schieble and Abdulfattah John Jandali, who was later a political science professor at theUniversity of Nevadaand is presently a vice president at Boomtown Casino and Hotel inReno, Nevada. Her parents divorced in 1962, when Jandali was managing a refinery inSyria.[2][3]Her mother was an American of Swiss German descent and her father wasSyrian.[4][5]She later took her stepfather's surname, Simpson.
She is the biological sister ofSteve Jobs, the late co-founder, CEO and chairman ofApple. Jobs, the elder sibling, was placed for adoption by their then-unmarried parents who married 10 months later, after Joanne's father (who reportedly opposed her marriage to a Syrian) died.[3]Her 1987 novel,Anywhere But Here, is dedicated to her mother and "my brother Steve."[3]She first met Jobs when they were adults, after she invited him to a party promotingAnywhere But Herewhere she revealed that they were siblings; Jobs was 32.[6]The two of them forged a relationship where he regularly visited her inManhattan. Simpson said "My brother and I are very close, I admire him enormously." Jobs said "We're family. She's one of my best friends in the world. I call her and talk to her every couple of days."[7]The interactions between Simpson and Jobs, and learning how similar they were, had a major effect on Jobs. Steve Lohr of theNew York Timeswrote "The effect of all this on Jobs seems to be a certain sense of calming fatalism — less urgency to control his immediate environment and a greater trust that life’s outcomes are, to a certain degree, wired in the genes."[6]A few years earlier, Jobs was staunch on most of his character having been formed from his experiences, not his birth parents or genetics (Jobs frequently referred to his adoptive parents as "the only real parents" that he ever had[7]). From Simpson, Jobs would learn more details about their parents, and he invited his birth mother Joanne Simpson to a few events.[8]Simpson remains estranged from their biological father John Jandali, just as her late brother Steve Jobs did as well.[9]
Simpson married television writer and producerRichard Appelin 1993[10][11]and they have two children.[12]Appel, a writer forThe Simpsons, used his wife's name forHomer Simpson'smother, beginning with the episode "Mother Simpson".[13]They have since divorced.
