New Book Reveals Brando’s 'Affair’ With Jackie O
Hollywood Rag ^ | 6/25/09

Posted on 06/25/2009 2:05:02 PM PDT by lewisglad

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In a new book - titled Bobby and Jackie: A Love Story author C. David Heymann claims to have uncovered unpublished passages from Brando's autobiography.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."

Teddy has been a trip since infancy.

Once interviewed the golf pro that Papa Joe hired to teach all the Kennedy boys to play golf.

He said Joe Jr. was “incredible, a man's man. He was the one who should have been president, etc.”

Jack, a bit of a playboy even in his youth, but smart and “Not a bad lad” (the pro was very Irish himself)

Bobby; the runt of the litter. Toughest of all of them. Won ever fight by never giving up.

I asked about Teddy, and he would not answer me. (This was pre-Chapaquidik probably about 1966.) When pressed for an answer, after a few drinks, he simply said, “Ah, Young Teddy. Now there is a tragety. All I say is... Teddy cheats at golf.

To another golfer, that's all he had to say.

PS, Teddy's story about swimming across the harbor after the car that drowned Mary Jo went into the water. Complete BS.

Life Magazine hired the six members of the Harvard swim team to see of they could do it against the same tide that was running that night. None made it more than half way across.

Thanks, but read Peter Evans. It's better. He is a great newspaper guy.

Seriously, I'm a TV guy. When writing for $, I write short sentences. I right to be listened to, (Just like Peggy Noonan) not to be read.

If you read Peggy's books silently, they are a struggle to get through. But read them out loud, and they are auditory nectar for the gods.... and the ears.

I can not write well for publication, just for broadcast. It's a different skill set.

Giovanni Agnelli was the Italian.

He and Jackie were introduced by Pamela Harriman, who at seperate times was sexually involved with Joe Sr, Joe Jr, and Jack.... and Edward R. Morrow.... and Agnelli (and about 20% of the rest of the upper class men in wartime London!)

MB, maybe that’s the inside joke to Teddy in naming his dog Swimmer—that Teddy hoodwinked everyone about swimming “across the harbor.”.

Thanks, but seriously, get Peter's book. It's great. It fills in lots of blanks we have ALL wondered about.

Be well. I have to go back and watch the some of the 3785 hours of prime time television being devoted to the passings of Farah and Michael.

I recently bought a Godfather DVD and saw the movie uncut and unedited for the first time. Nice movie.
