Personal life
Bernstein has been married three times, first to a fellow reporter at The Washington Post, Carol Honsa; then to writer and director Nora Ephron from 1976 to 1980; and finally to actress Christine Kuehbeck.
Bernstein first met Margaret Jay, the daughter of British Prime Minister James Callaghan and the wife of Peter Jay, before his marriage to Ephron. In 1979, they had a well-publicized extramarital relationship. Margaret later became a cabinet minister in her own right. Bernstein and her second son, Jacob, were already pregnant with their second son, Max, when she learned of her husband's affair with Jay in 1979. After finding out, Ephron delivered Max early. Ephron was inspired by the events surrounding the 1983 novel Heartburn, which was turned into a 1986 film starring Jack Nicholson and Meryl St. Ceph.
Bernstein, who was single in the 1980s, was known for, among other things, dating Bianca Jagger, Martha Stewart, and Elizabeth Taylor.
Early life and career
Bernstein was born in Washington, D.C., the son of Sylvia (née Walker) and Alfred Bernstein. Both his parents were civil rights campaigners and members of the Communist Party USA in the 1940s. He attended Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, Maryland, where he served as circulation and exchange manager for the school's newspaper Silver Chips. He began his journalism career at the age of 16 when he became a copyboy for The Washington Star and moved "quickly through the ranks." The Star, on the other hand, did not have to write for the journal without requiring a college degree.
He worked at the University of Maryland, College Park, as a reporter for the school's independent daily, The Diamondback. Bernstein was suspended from the university at the fall 1964 semester due to poor grades.
Bernstein left the Star in 1965 to become a full-time reporter for the Elizabeth Daily Journal in New Jersey. Although there, he received the first prize in New Jersey's investigative reporting, feature writing, and news on a deadline. Bernstein left New Jersey in 1966 and began writing for The Washington Post, where he covered every facet of local news and became one of the paper's top writing stylists.
