Joe And Marilyn: Legends In Love - Plot & Excerpts
Kennedy was done with the actress. Her erratic behavior—her letters, phone calls, and love poems, as well as her call to Jackie—no longer amused him. Too many people, including the Secret Service and FBI, knew of the affair by this time, and while the press in those days didn’t peer into the closets (or private lives) of politicians, there were those that did. The Kennedy clan’s list of perceived enemies—Fidel Castro, the Mafia, and Jimmy Hoffa, president of the largest union in America, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, to name a few—was long and getting longer. The president was only too pleased to assign Bobby Kennedy the unpleasant (some might say pleasant) task of getting Marilyn off his back. Bobby’s arrival on the scene came at a precarious point in Marilyn’s career. After Fox fired her from Something’s Got to Give, she suffered what Dr. Ralph Greenson described as a “deeply paranoid and depressive reaction.” She placed some of the blame for her misfortune on George Cukor, stipulating that Cukor, an outspoken and admitted homosexual, had been jealous of her affair with Yves Montand during their joint appearance in Let’s Make Love.
