Judith Exner

 

 

Age: 65

 

Summary: former mistress of U.S. President John F. Kennedy and Mafia leader Sam Giancana whose disclosure of her relationships with the men diminished the near legendary stature of the deceased president by revealing a scandal during his administration when she had also claimed that she became pregnant with Kennedy's child but decided to have an abortion to avoid embarrassing the president as she carried kickback money to the Kennedy brothers (including Robert F. Kennedy) from California defense contractors, and who wrote the 1977 autobiography Judith Exner: My Story, in which she would claim that her relationship with JFK was personal and that she was never an intermediary between Kennedy and the Mafia.
