** Jackie Kennedy’s Mysterious Phone Call from Marilyn Monroe Unveiled**

Jackie Kennedy was left deeply affected by a phone conversation with Marilyn Monroe, according to revelations in J. Randy Taraborrelli's latest biography “Jackie: Public, Private, Secret.”

This detailed account, based on extensive research spanning nearly 25 years and numerous interviews with Kennedy's inner circle, sheds light on the alleged affair between President John F. Kennedy and the iconic actress Monroe, which reportedly occurred over a weekend in March 1962.

In a poignant moment captured in the book, Kennedy received a call from Monroe in April 1962 at their Hyannis Port, Massachusetts residence.

Recognizing Monroe's distinctive voice, Kennedy was surprised to hear the Hollywood star on the line, inquiring about “Jack.”

Monroe, addressing Kennedy as “Jackie,” requested that she pass on a message to her husband, expressing a desire to simply convey greetings.

The unexpected exchange, occurring just months before Monroe's tragic death, left Kennedy unsettled.

Taraborrelli revealed that Kennedy confided in her family about the haunting quality of Monroe's voice during the call, leaving her with lingering questions for years to come.

Despite the lack of a substantial conversation, Kennedy found Monroe's voice to be sad and ethereal, evoking a sense of loss and vulnerability.

Notably, Kennedy was struck by the enigmatic nature of the call, as the bedroom phone line where Monroe reached her was the sole unmonitored line in the house, bypassing the scrutiny of the Secret Service.

The mysterious circumstances surrounding how Monroe obtained the number added to the intrigue of the fleeting interaction.

Following Monroe's poignant rendition of “Happy Birthday” to JFK in May 1962, Kennedy's absence from the event underscored the complex dynamics at play within the Kennedy-Monroe-JFK triangle.

Taraborrelli highlighted Kennedy's conflicted emotions, describing her as torn between grief for Monroe's tragic end and a recognition of the actress's vulnerabilities in the face of JFK's charisma and power.

Despite acknowledging Monroe's fragility, Kennedy ultimately prioritized her loyalty to JFK, understanding the complexities of being entwined with a man of great influence.

Taraborrelli portrayed Kennedy as navigating the tumultuous waters of her husband's presidency with grace, even as she grappled with the specter of Monroe's haunting phone call.
