...MacLaine, 90, writes: 'In 1962, at the famous celebration for John F Kennedy's 45th birthday at Madison Square Garden, Jimmy Durante and I performed for the president and the crowd, but what most people remember is Marilyn Monroe singing "Happy Birthday" to him.
'Afterward there was a private party at Arthur Krim's home...'
In the caption to a black and white photograph, in which both she and JFK are in the background, she writes: 'Jack Kennedy had just walked out of the bedroom behind me, and Bobby Kennedy had just walked in.
'Marilyn was in the bedroom...'
MacLaine also implies this wasn't the first time the 'revolving door' into Marilyn's bedroom took place.
In a later photograph, from 1984, she writes: 'Here I'm telling Teddy Kennedy that story... and he's laughing about how the boys got away with it all the time.'
In her best-selling book Ask Not: The Kennedys and the Women They Destroyed, Dailymail.com columnist Maureen Callahan described the crossover relationships between JFK and his brother as an 'incestuous sexual competition' between the two.
In fact, she reveals that, just 30 minutes before Marilyn appeared on stage to sing 'Happy Birthday', she had sex with Bobby in her dressing room.
'They spent 15 minutes alone together,' Callahan writes.
The liaison made her late to the stage, where she arrived 'drunk and flush with the transgressive sex she'd just had with Bobby, her dress so tight she could hardly walk'.
Jackie Kennedy was 'furious' after the performance, which left JFK 'slack-jawed' in the audience. And so, Callahan writes, Jackie gave her husband an 'ultimatum', telling him he could no longer see Marilyn, or else 'she would divorce him — taking the children and costing him a second term'...

This is probably election year agitprop, due to RFK Jr's alliance with Donald Trump, because it's not as if no one had ever heard of this before.
So Shirley was hanging out at a sleazy assemblage like that and she was shocked? What was she doing there in the first place?
Forget it, Jake, it’s Hollywood.
Good old Came-a-lot.
Exactly.
‘she would divorce him’ ???
Jackie was a hardcore Catholic... Divorce wasn’t part of her vocabulary. That’s why she had Aristotle Onassis arrange for his assassination.
“What was she doing there in the first place?”
Why, the wide eyed waif was sitting in he corner, aghast that nobody else shared her sense of propriety. She certainly wasn’t in there partying or anything like that.
Now she turned rat. This is why they are not allowed in the mafia.
I doubt she was shocked. Circa 1982 he was on the cover of either Time or Newsweek in a ‘tard, kicking up over her head, in her 40s, I kept that around the office of that time, for a long while. :^) Despite her being kind of a flake, when she got her first big showbiz check (for Irma La Douce I think) she used it to buy the apartment building where she already lived, in Malibu. She considered herself a dancer much moreso than an actress, and knew that one wrong step could end her career. Owning and living in the income property would make sure she’d always be taken care of.
Ah, here it is:

Wouldn’t it be something is the Harris loss led to the demise of the Democrat Party? That party has a long and sordid history. Evil on every level and in every way. And this year they pushed hard on abortion and transgender policies, hoping that blatant election fraud could get them a win. It’s time for that whole party to go the way of the Whigs.
"The Trouble with Harry," Hitchcock's comedy about a body that is forever being buried and dug up.
LOL
It depends, the Harris loss may make the Democratic Party take stock and realize they are way too radical. Even Bill Clinton has been telling them that.
Oh good god. No she didn’t. I doubt she threatened to leave him. She probably would have simply endured like most rich women of that era did. Especially women steeped in the Euro-ethos of men having affairs.
And annulment was not unheard of.
So, no, she didn’t secretly plot with a Greek shipping magnate to coordinate an assassination in Dallas. That theory fits in with WTC being controlled demolition, TicTac UFO’s dogfighting F-18s, and Jim Morrison alive and hiding in Paris.
It seems RFKjr’s affairs and other past times drove his first wife to suicide. So why is anyone surprised!
A Kennedy doing what Kennedys gull the public and indulge!
Many here still mesmerized by the word Kennedy.
Whoa... Are you saying all those thing 'aren't' true?
Expect them to attack Trump's allies like this. So people will be reluctant to work for Trump in Washington.
i’m pretty sure MacLaine has simply confused events from her many past lives ...
Joe Sr and JFK were having a light argument about some issue, and when it simmered down, Joe turned to the other person present and said proudly, “this is why I settled $1 million on each of my children when they turned 21 — so they could spit in my eye if they wanted to!”
From the same bio — JFK was dating some 3rd reich era German chick (despite claims to the contrary, they were never married) and they were together telling his family about it. Joe and JFK were really arguing that time, Joe didn’t want them to keep dating.
When Joe would finally boil over and storm out, JFK assured her that she’d be welcomed into the fold.
When JFK boiled over and would storm out, Joe would hit on JFK’s German girlfriend.
IOW, it is to be expected. :^)
BTW, from what I’ve seen at a great distance, there’s nothin’ wrong with having money. :^)
