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.
