Her på bloggen (og mange andre steder) har der været en del fascination af Marilyn Monroes affære med John F. Kennedy. Her er det seneste kapitel i den gamle, kulørte historie, nemlig en anmeldelse i The Independent af en ny bog af den amerikanske forfatter Christopher Andersen:

The book goes on to quote the late actor Pater Lawford, who married JFK’s sister Patricia in 1954, as saying Monroe called Jackie Kennedy to confess to the affair and to tell her that her husband had already agreed to leave his family and set up home with the actress.

Kennedy is said to have responded: “Marilyn, you’ll marry Jack, that’s great… And you’ll move into the White House and you’ll assume the responsibilities of First Lady, and I’ll move out and you’ll have all the problems”.
