Jackie's "Affair" with Marlon Brando Detailed in New Book


C. David Heymann is at it again--another "Kennedy" book, entitled "Bobby and Jackie: A Love Story" will be in stores on July 14, 2009. But what's getting the most attention, so far, is the two day "affair" Jackie purportedly had with actor Marlon Brando. From the NY Post:


June 25, 2009 --


MARLON Brando enjoyed two nights of passionate sex with Jacqueline Kennedy and wanted to bare the intimate details to the world, a new book reveals.


In "Bobby and Jackie: A Love Story," which details a purported post-JFK assassination affair between Jackie and Robert F. Kennedy, C. David Heymann has obtained passages from Brando's account of how he hooked up with Jackie in 1964. They were in the first draft of the Oscar winner's 1994 memoir, "Songs My Mother Taught Me," until an editor friend of Jackie (by then also the widow of Aristotle Onassis) at Random House insisted they be cut, Heymann writes.

The first time, "according to Brando, [their] three-hour meal included a good deal of drinking . . . Jackie and the actor danced and drank. During their dance, Jackie, deeply attracted to Brando, 'pressed her thighs' suggestively into his. They danced again, then sat down and began to 'make out,' " according to Heymann.


He relates: "In Brando's words, 'From all I'd read and heard about her, Jacqueline Kennedy seemed coquettish and sensual but not particularly sexual. If anything, I pictured her as more voyeur than player. But that wasn't the case. She kept waiting for me to try to get her into bed. When I failed to make a move, she took matters into her own hands and popped the magic question. 'Would you like to spend the night?' And I said, 'I thought you'd never ask.' "


A week later, Jackie again hooked up with Brando at a Sutton Place apartment he borrowed from a friend. Commenting on Jackie's "boyish hips" and "muscular frame," Brando said, "I'm not sure she knew what she was doing sexually, but she did it well."


But Jackie then ended it. Heymann writes: "Having twice consummated her relationship with Brando, Jackie showed no interest in pursuing him further."
The book from Atria is due next month.

Heyman was the same one who posted those HORRIBLE things about John. I will have a hard time with this book. I won't buy it because I don't want him making money off his lies. Maybe there is some truth to it - but what gives him the right? Tribute books are one thing - but gossip is another...

I agree. Heymann is a little pathetic, in my opinion. First, these rumors-and I think that's all they are-have been out for years. Heymann is simply re-tilling old ground, and is trying to make it more exciting.
