John F. Kennedy’s numerous affairs, which may have included a relationship with Marilyn Monroe, are well known. However, it turns out that his father was just as sexually active. In the 1920s and 1930s, Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. likely had affairs with Hollywood stars, Gloria Swanson and Marlene Dietrich.
John F. Kennedy’s Father Allegedly Had Affairs Hollywood Icons
Swanson’s memoir states that she and Joe Kennedy met at the Savoy Plaza Hotel in New York City on November 11, 1927.
A mutual friend arranged contact between the two because Swanson needed money and Kennedy could help as a banker.
Swanson was already a big star, but her lavish spending had plunged her into huge debt. “At that time, the public wanted us to live like kings and queens,” she said.
Kennedy asked her point-blank why she had turned down a contract with Paramount that paid her $1 million a year.
She said, “I would have been the second or third person in the history of film to sign a million-dollar contract, but I was the first person to say no.” The Washington Post reports that Kennedy found this funny and Swanson kept trying to make him laugh. Things moved quickly after that.
When Swanson and her then-husband were visiting Kennedy in California, Kennedy sent her husband on a one-day fishing trip so he could spend time alone with Swanson. He went to her room and told her he couldn’t wait any longer.
The Professional Partnership Between Kennedy And Swanson Was A Failure
One reason for Kennedy’s affairs is that he and his wife, Rose, had a fairly clean relationship. Rose Kennedy, a devout Catholic, believed that sex should only be used to have children, according to her close friend Marie Greene.
Swanson was a much more modern woman whose morals were different. When Joe Kennedy’s affair with Swanson began, Rose Kennedy was in Massachusetts, where she planned to have and subsequently deliver her eighth child.
Dietrich Met Kennedy On The French Riviera
After seven years, Kennedy was U.S. ambassador to England at age 49 and spent the summer with his family in Cannes on the French Riviera. They rented a villa near the Hôtel du Cap, where many rich and famous people stayed. There he met the famous actress Marlene Dietrich.
Dietrich was married to Rudolf Sieber and had a daughter with him, but their marriage was open, so they both had other lovers. She was 37 when she met Kennedy and was already having an affair with a writer (“All Quiet on the Western Front,” 1928).

She was also going through a difficult period in her career, so Kennedy used his old contacts in Hollywood to help her get a part in a Western that would help her get back on her feet.
Kennedy and Dietrich had similar personalities and enjoyed talking politics, but she disagreed with his policy of keeping Nazi Germany out of the rest of the world.
In general, people disagreed with him, and it eventually cost him his job as ambassador. In the summer of 1939, just before the outbreak of World War II, he and Dietrich began dating again.
