New book say Marilyn told Jackie that JFK was going to marry her

USA Today


A book by journalist Christopher Andersen, says Monroe actually called Jackie Kennedy and told her that JFK planned to marry her, reports AFP. To which Jackie is said to have replied, "And you'll move into the White House and you'll assume the responsibilities of first lady, and I'll move out and you'll have all the problems," according to These Precious Few Days: The Final Year of Jack with Jackie.

Andersen's book makes the case that while Jackie knew all about her husband's dalliances, it was only his affair with Monroe that worried her because she knew how huge the scandal would be if it became public. And Monroe seemed pretty sure she would be living in the White House someday, notes the Daily News summary of the book.

"Can't you just see me as first lady?" she is quoted as asking friend Jeanne Carmen.
