Important and stranger part of life of Apple CEO Steve Jobs will be broadcast during Isaacson’s interview with Steve Kroft – his first about Jobs – on “60 Minutes” Sunday, Oct. 23 at 7 p.m. Jobs’s biographer describes this part as one of the most ironic revelation about life of Jobs, as in 1980s Jobs met a man a few times who unbeknownst to either was his biological father.
Given up for adoption as a baby, Jobs never knew he had a sister, until the biological mother he tracked down revealed her to him: the novelist Mona Simpson. Jobs met and bonded with Simpson and the two set out to find their father. Simpson found him, a man named Abdulfattah “John” Jandali. He was managing a coffee shop. Isaacson says Simpson had not told Jandali who his son was before he said to her, “‘I wish you could have seen me when I was running a bigger restaurant.'” Jandali said he ran a popular Mediterranean restaurant in Silicon Valley. “‘Everybody used to come there,'” Isaacson says Jandali told Simpson. “‘Even Steve Jobs used to eat there. Yeah, he was a great tipper.'”
