This Day in History: FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover met at the White House with John F. Kennedy, to advise him about what findings from a wiretap revealed on this day in 1962. Not only was Hoover aware that President Kennedy was conducting an extramarital affair with Judith Exner, Hoover advised that Ms. Exner was also romantically involved with organized crime figures Sam Giancana and Johnny Roselli, and with Frank Sinatra. After the meeting, Kennedy called Exner to terminate the relationship. The affair would not become public knowledge until Congressional hearings were held in 1975.
This was not the only affair that JFK had, and this should not be surprising to anyone who has kept up with the young president. The most famous affair was with actress Marilyn Monroe, who mysteriously overdosed at age 36 in 1962.
He had an affair with Mary Pinchot Meyer, who was murdered, shot twice at a close range, in Georgetown in October 1964. Beginning in 1976, Pinchot Meyer's life, her relationship with Kennedy, and her murder became the subjects of numerous articles and books, including a full-length biography by journalist Nina Burleigh.
JFK also had affairs with a Mimi Alford, Jill Cowan, Priscilla Wear, Blaze Starr, Pamela Turnure, Gunilla Von Post, Ellen Rometsch...even Angie Dickinson. According to Maria Riva, her mother Marlene Dietrich had an affair not only with JFK, but also his father Joe Kennedy.
