“Although it was extremely risky to [John F.] Kennedy’s image, during this period [May 1962] Marilyn [Monroe] moved into the beach house [of JFK’s brother-in-law Peter Lawford and his sister Patricia Kennedy] at Santa Monica] … There were times that Jack would be there having sex with Marilyn, separated from the Lawfords by only a dividing wall. … Peter also acted as the official recorder of these events. … Jack liked to get into the tub, then have Marilyn climb on top of him while they had sex in the water. Peter would be asked to take photographs, the president delighting in having his activities recorded. … After the president’s death, as many of the photographs as could be found were destroyed. Since no one knew who had taken all of them or where they might have gone, there was great fear that some might have remained unrecovered. Peter, for one, was not asked to destroy his, apparently because no one realized he had some, and he retained them after his divorce [from Patricia Kennedy].” (Patricia Seaton Lawford, The Peter Lawford Story [New York 1990] p. 178-179) “What happened next has been the subject of countless hours of debate and more nonsense than any other issue related to the Kennedy presidency except his assassination. … So what did happen? An unstable woman was pushed beyond her limits by the unfeeling actions of Jack Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, and, in a sense, Peter. The situation started when Bobby had a talk with Marilyn concerning her constant calls to the private quarters of the White House. She was told that she was not going to be first lady. She was not even a serious affair for the president. … Right after Bobby talked with her, Marilyn went to the Cal-Neva Lodge, a resort in which Frank Sinatra had had an interest at one period of time and a popular place for entertainment figures to both rest and play. There she proceeded to overdose on proscription drugs. Her stomach had to be pumped and she returned to her home.” (Idem, p. 180-181)
