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In a new book - titled Bobby and Jackie: A Love Story author C. David Heymann claims to have uncovered unpublished passages from Brando's autobiography.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."
Sleep well, except if you live in Los Angeles County.
In LA, stay awake guarding your home. You are on your own tonight, because all LEOs in the county are busy with crowd control at the hospital, and the Sheriff's helicopter is busy ferrying Michael's body to yet another TV interview.
This just in, Barbara Walters, Elizabeth Taylor and President Obama just appeared together, live on MSNBC, to announce a 30-day period of national mourning for Michael.
The President asked that all flags at local NAMBLA chapters be lowered to half staff, both in honor of Michael, and to help us get a visual of how his staff was whenever little boys were around.
Be well.
“This just in, Barbara Walters, Elizabeth Taylor and President Obama just appeared together, live on MSNBC, to announce a 30-day period of national mourning for Michael.”
I saw that. Immediately afterward, they blamed Jackson’s death on George W. Bush, who tormented Jackson by refusing to support the Underage Marriage Act. Combined with widespread pollution permitted under GWB, and the overall effect was too much for Michael Jackson’s child-like heart...
As Barbara would say,
“It’s Twue! It’s Twue!”
“The only one worse than Jackie was Grace Kelly. On two separate occasions, she did Gary Cooper and Humphrey Bogart, both in a cars, on the curb, in front of the Brown Derby!”
Not to mention Ray Milland while he was still married and Bing Crosby while his wife Dixie was dying of cancer.
No wonder her kids were so messed up. She did a total 180 and pretended that she was Miss Virgin Princess after marriage to Ranier.
I wonder if he made her clip her fingernails...
