Jackie Kennedy Allegedly Receives a Mysterious Call from Marilyn Monroe, According to Biographer

Jackie Kennedy, the former First Lady, reportedly received a phone call from Marilyn Monroe that left her haunted.

J. Randy Taraborrelli's new biography, “Jackie: Public, Private, Secret,” is a comprehensive account of Kennedy's life based on 25 years of research and interviews with family, friends, and former lovers.

The book delves into President John F. Kennedy's alleged affair with Monroe, claiming it was a weekend fling in March 1962.

Taraborrelli reveals in his book that one month after Monroe's affair with the president, Kennedy received a phone call from the actress at their residence in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, in April 1962.

Kennedy recognized Monroe's distinct voice and confirmed her identity before Monroe asked her to pass on a message to her husband, Jack.

However, Monroe stated that she simply wanted to say hello.

Kennedy, taken aback by the call, agreed to deliver the message and ended the conversation.

However, the brief exchange left her with lingering questions.

Taraborrelli explains that Kennedy later confided in her family, describing Monroe's voice as haunting and memorable.

Despite the lack of a substantial conversation, the phone call left Kennedy wondering for ten years if it truly was Marilyn Monroe, creating a lasting impact on the family.

According to the biography, Kennedy found Monroe's voice during the call to be sad and ethereal, with a hint of a lost little girl.

She found it disturbing.

The book also highlights the mystery of how Monroe obtained the private number, as the bedroom phone line was the only one in the house not monitored by the Secret Service.

Just a month after the phone call, Monroe famously sang “Happy Birthday” to JFK during his 45th birthday celebration, an event that Jackie Kennedy notably skipped.

Unfortunately, Monroe passed away at the age of 36 in August of that year.

Taraborrelli reveals that while Kennedy was devastated by Monroe's untimely death, she also believed that Monroe was a disaster waiting to happen and too vulnerable to be involved with JFK.

Despite this, Kennedy understood her husband and the complexities that came with being in a relationship with a powerful man.

Taraborrelli explains that her main concern was JFK and she recognized the flaws that often accompany great men like him.
