4. Marilyn Monroe with JFK

Marilyn Monroe with John F Kennedy: It was a widely popular rumor that JFK and Marilyn Monroe slept together at least once at Bing Crosby’s house in Palm Springs. Monroe’s friend said:

“Later, once the rumor mill was grinding, Marilyn told me that this night in March was the only time of her “affair” with JFK. Of course, she was titillated beyond belief, because for a year, he had been trying, through Lawford, to have an evening with her. A great many people thought, after that weekend, that there was more to it. But Marilyn gave me the impression that it was not a major event for either of them: it happened once, that weekend, and that was that.”
