With the anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination a few days away, the news and t.v. programs have been remembering our former president’s legacy and death. One interesting thing to come to surface is JFK’s last intimate moments with his wife, Jackie. It was rumored the marriage had turned cold, having slept in separate rooms in Houston’s Rice Hotel on the eve of the Dallas incident. It turns out the couple joined the mile high club the day before JFK’s death. To read more, click below.
According to a historian, William Manchester, the Kennedy and his wife had sex on Air Force One the day before his assassination. This is what Manchester had to say about the moment in his biography on JFK:
“Their life together now had nearly a full day to run. Yet this was to be their last hour of serenity. The tyranny of events and exhaustion would begin to close in when they finished the two-hundred-mile lap to Houston. Actually, they hadn’t even an hour. In this plane the hop took only forty-five minutes. Privacy was that limited, confined to a tiny blue cabin racing 30,000 feet above the tessellated green and brown plains of central Texas . . . Their time was up. The President emerged in a fresh shirt.”
Jackie confessed many details from her marriage, from the assassination to their last intimate moment with her husband in an interview with Manchester but later sued him to keep the information under wraps. According to the legal settlement, Jackie and Robert Kennedy were given final edits of Manchester’s book, as well as the taped interview he had with the First Lady (which would be sealed in JFK’s Library & Presidential Museum), and all copies of the original book were destroyed. This settlement would be effective for a 100 years, the public won’t be able to see it until 2067.
Sheesh! Them Kennedys don’t play!
