Jackie, Bobby Had Affair: Book

Jackie Kennedy turned to the arms of brother-in-law Bobby after John F. Kennedy’s assassination—or so a Kennedy biographer claims in Bobby and Jackie: A Love Story, out July 14. C. David Heymann alluded to such claims in two previous books, the New York Daily News reports, but Kennedy insiders aren’t convinced. “It’s a new low,” says one biographer; the Kennedy White House press secretary went further, calling it “bullshit.”

The book also reveals Jackie’s two sultry nights with Marlon Brando, according to the New York Post. Heymann got the story through cut passages from Brando’s memoir, including Jackie’s come-on, “Would you like to spend the night?” and Marlon’s response, “I thought you’d never ask.” Brando’s final assessment? “I’m not sure she knew what she was doing sexually, but she did it well.” (More Robert F.
