From the VFArchive: On what would've been her 90th birthday, take a look back at Jackie Kennedy's incredible legacy
he idea of taking her own lovers had crossed Jackie's mind when Jack was in the Senate."She told me she knew Jack had affairs," said Tony Bradlee."She was pondering maybe doing it herself. I don't think she did, but she seemed a little sad at that point." Once Jack became president, the risks of such behavior escalated. Instead of lovers, Jackie sought friendships with some of J.F.K.'s closest advisers.
In her whispery voice Jackie concentrated initially on her concerns about J.F.K.'s infidelity."She wanted me to know she was not naïve or dumb, as people in the White House thought," said Finnerty."She did know what was going on. This conversation shocked me." She said the Secret Service was covering up for her husband, and she was bothered that many people, especially reporters,"thought she was strange and aloof, living in a world of her own.
Lee came on November 7 for an extended stay. As they had the previous March, the Kennedys decided to throw a dinner dance"in honor of" Jackie's sister as well as Fiat auto baron Gianni Agnelli and his wife, Marella, who were visiting from Italy. The Kennedys had met the Agnellis during trips to the South of France and at the Wrightsman home in Palm Beach. They also had a connection through Franklin Roosevelt Jr., who was the American representative for Fiat.
Just a week later, on a wintry Monday evening while Jackie and the children were at Glen Ora with Lee and her son, Anthony, Mary Meyer and Jack began their affair at the White House. Although she was as free a spirit as her friend Helen Chavchavadze, Meyer became more deeply enmeshed with Kennedy from the outset. Unlike Chavchavadze, who kept her liaison secret, Meyer confided in Anne Truitt a couple of months after the affair began—and later that year to Anne's husband, James.
