You're right.....the rumor was with JFK, and not Clinton....
I'm really getting old - and trying to project all my hate toward Clinton....

Was there every anything other than vicious gossip tying Angie and JFK (the horny) to each other?

Bacharach-Dickinson Daughter Dies

*

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Nikki Bacharach, daughter of Burt Bacharach and Angie Dickinson, committed suicide, the songwriter and actress said in a statement Friday.

Nikki Bacharach, 40, suffered from Asperger's Disorder, a form of autism. She killed herself Thursday night at her condo, said Linda Dozoretz, a spokeswoman for the family.

"She quietly and peacefully committed suicide to escape the ravages to her brain brought on by Asperger's," the statement said.

Nikki Bacharach died of suffocation using a plastic bag and helium, said Mike Feiler of the Ventura County coroner's office.

Born prematurely in 1966, Lea Nikki Bacharach studied geology at Cal Lutheran University, but could not pursue a career in the field because of poor eyesight.

"She loved kitties, and earthquakes, glacial calving, meteor showers, science, blue skies and sunsets, and Tahiti," the statement said.

Nikki Bacharach was the only child of Burt Bacharach, 77, and Dickinson, 75, who were married from 1965 to 1981.

It was the second marriage for both Bacharach, the Oscar-winning composer of "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head," and "What the World Needs Now is Love," and Dickinson, star of the film "Dress to Kill" and the TV show "Police Woman."

Bacharach has three children from other marriages.

Not sure... In the 70's I knew a director in Manhattan who seemed to know which actresses JFK had arranged to meet up with whenever Jackie was out-of-town. It was behind-the-scenes gossip in those days about all of them. Dickenson might have known him in the 50's/pre-Presidency. She's been around awhile. Any one know?

Nice line. I've got to remember that right after I have my warm Ovaltine and Graham Crackers.
