Mimi Alford
Mimi Alford was a 19 year old girl when she started working in the White House press office, where she wound up immediately catching the eye of President John F. Kennedy himself.
Four days into the job, she found herself standing alone next to the most powerful man in the country, and it happened to be in the most intimate room at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
He allegedly invited her to go for a swim in the White House pool. Later that day, Alford was back at her desk when she was contacted again, this time wondering if she would be interested in an informal meeting “upstairs.”
Ultimately, JFK offered her an intimate tour of the residence, and it was when it was just the two of them in the bedroom he shared with the First Lady that he made his move, according to Alford.
In her book, she wrote, “The next thing I knew, he was standing in front of me, his face inches away. He placed both hands on my shoulders and guided me toward the edge of the bed.”
A few moments later, Alford lost her virginity to the nation’s leader, and their trysts continued for over a year, according to her accounts.
The affair with President Kennedy began to cool after a few months, and he sometimes humiliated her. The pressures of her double life drove her to leave college after her second year.
And Alford said that she and the President didn’t have any more inappropriate relations after August 1963, when his son Patrick died, though she retained her position in the White House for a while.

I can think of at least two others that could have been mentioned. One is fairly obvious: Mary Jo Kopechne. The other is columnist Dorothy Kilgallen, whose mysterious death was remarkably similar to Marilyn Monroe’s. Kilgallen was ready to have a book published about the JFK assassination, but after her death, all of her notes, transcripts and rough draft of the book mysteriously disappeared, never to be seen again.
Do not want this crap on my phone again
I’m surprised that you didn’t mention the name of Mary Jo Kapechne, (sp)? who drowned in a car
accident driven by Edward Kennedy. Her drowning was mysterious. I’m sure there are more women, whose lives were ruined or adversely affected by this powerful family.
You left off several others. Ted Kennedy while driving after a party he was giving a girl a ride home he crashed his car is a River the girl died and he ran home. Also his wife became an alcoholic.

Most of the Kennedy’s are dead. Let them rest in peace. Seems to me you’d be more interested in JFK’S death than his sex life.
You forgot Mary Jo Kopechne, the young lady who drowned on Chappaquiddick island in 1969 while in a car driven by Senator Ted Kennedy that overturned into a pond. The Senator got out alive but he left Mary Jo and didn’t report the accident until the next morning!
You left out my friend Martha Moxley!
