Former U.S. president John F. Kennedy's wife Jacqueline had an affair with movie legend Marlon Brando the year after her husband was assassinated, according to a new book.
Brando is reported to have bedded the iconic socialite on two occasions in 1964.
The Godfather star is said to have written about their romance in an early draft of his 1994 memoirs Songs My Mother Taught Me - but the revelations were edited out by a friend of JFK's widow prior to publication.
In a new book - titled Bobby and Jackie: A Love Story author C. David Heymann claims to have uncovered unpublished passages from Brando's autobiography.
The excerpts reportedly reveal Brando slept with Jackie Kennedy - aka Jackie Onassis - a year after her husband was murdered in Dallas, Texas in November 1963.
The first time was allegedly after Brando and Kennedy enjoyed a three hour meal together.
According to New York Post gossip column PageSix, Heymann writes, "(The) meal included a good deal of drinking... Jackie and the actor danced and drank. During their dance, Jackie, deeply attracted to Brando, 'pressed her thighs' suggestively into his.
"They danced again, then sat down and began to 'make out'... In Brando's words, 'From all I'd read and heard about her, Jacqueline Kennedy seemed coquettish and sensual but not particularly sexual. If anything, I pictured her as more voyeur than player. But that wasn't the case.
"She kept waiting for me to try to get her into bed. When I failed to make a move, she took matters into her own hands and popped the magic question. 'Would you like to spend the night?' And I said, 'I thought you'd never ask.'"
A week later, the couple allegedly met up again at an apartment belonging to a friend of Brando's, and once again ended up in bed - but the romance then fizzled out.
Heymann adds: "Having twice consummated her relationship with Brando, Jackie showed no interest in pursuing him further."
He could have been a contender........
We had one for eight years. A humble, good man who saved the country from possible financial collapse after nine-eleven and then protected it from further attack.
Of course the DBM had to keep up the lie that he was stupid and a do-nothing. Only those of us who read the Daily Dose know that he was about the country's business every day he was in the White House.
Well, that’s ok, she apparently wasn’t getting any at home at the rate JFK screwed around on her.
"Oh-ohhhhh! Thanks for the visual!"
Donald Spoto’s bio of Marilyn explains her last night in sufficient detail.
Reagan was a good one.....God bless him.
If you're talking about Bush....Glenn Beck & I would disagree.
He was ready to ignore the 'rule of law' in 2007, 2008.....(among other things).....all those illegals, doncha know.
What were the Hoover stories going around Washington, DC at the time back then, I read the recent ‘sensational’ bio and it is mind bending stuff!
Jeez, Fail Safe was published in 1962; who had ever heard of Henry Kissinger in 1962?
You mean like how Bill Clinton had a nose like a Hoover vacuum?
Ever thought about writing one yourself?
Mindbender is right I’ve heard the George Smathers story too...not the one about the FIAT CEO though— whoa!
WOW, MindBender. Just WOWWY-WOW WOW WOW.
I think I’ll pop some popcorn and read your post again a few times.
There was rampant drinking then random sex it sounds like, Guen. Martinis here, highballs there...sex everywhere. I think my popcorn’s ready.... ;-)
Jeez, Fail Safe was published in 1962; who had ever heard of Henry Kissinger in 1962?
Eugene Burdick, who wrote the book, had a Ph.D. degree in psychology, and he worked at the department of Political Science at the University of California. He was a friend and contemporary of Kissinger.
By 1956, Kissinger was already a quiet legend in academic circles.
No, the COD was never proved. It was probably a drug overdose. Probably accidentally self-indiced.
The interesting thing was that she had called William J. Bryan, MD, a Hollywood for an appointment to try to kick druds and depression.
Bryan had been heavily involved in MKULTRA, was the tech adviser for Manchurian Candidate and has been accused by some of being the one (if there was one) who hypnotized Sirhan Sirhan. I knew him well. Was a great source. Last saw him about a month before his death in about 1976.
The big deal on MM was the time between her death until she was removed from the house. Both JFK and RFK were doing her, as were about a dozen others. She was a very sad, addicted, screwed up lady.LAPD "Cine Squad" and two very trusted Fed types sterilized the house to remove anything that would tie her to the Kennedys.
Strongly suggest reading Nemesis by Peter Evans. As far as I know, it is entirely factual, although I have little knowledge of the Onassis/European/Middle Eastern side of the story.
I do know that Peter Jennings was exceptionally knowledgeable about early (Pre-Munich Olympics) Black September stuff and thought there were many undisclosed connections to certain US / Middle East terrorist stuff.
Strongly suggest reading “Nemesis” by Peter Evans

a Hollywood PSYCHIATRIST and internationally recognised expert in hypnosis for an appointment to try to kick DRUGS and depression. She never made it to the appointment
Since he had links to Agency (and also moved the Hollywood media), I wonder if he said anything to anyone that she (and her secrets) were coming to see him.
This is all conjecture. He never said anything beyond that she had had an appointment, and that was years after her death..... but it’s interesting.
