FBI documents tell of Kennedy sex parties with Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr
PREVIOUSLY secret FBI records released today reveal that Edward Kennedy may have participated in steamy sex parties with his two brothers, Marilyn Monroe and "Rat Pack" crooners Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr.
A racy memo from 1965 notes that a New York woman reportedly had "considerable information about sex parties" involving the Kennedy brothers John and Robert, Monroe, Sinatra and Davis.
While the source of the information is not described fully in the documents, "it was reported" that Jacqueline Hammond, the wealthy ex-wife of a former US ambassador to Spain, knew about the raunchy parties at the upscale Carlyle Hotel on the Upper East Side, according to a report on thesmokinggun.com.
The memo says that Hammond kept an apartment at the tony hotel.
Kennedy, who served in the Senate for nearly half a century, died last August.
The release of the documents had been highly anticipated by historians, scholars and others interested in the life and long public career of one of America's most prominent and powerful politicians.
Media organisations requested the documents through the Freedom of Information Act .
The paperwork also includes a report of death threats against Kennedy five years after his failed 1980 White House bid.
The documents showed that on May 23, 1985, the US Capitol Police passed onto the FBI a copy of a letter sent to the Secret Service, ostensibly by a Michigan resident.
The sender declared: "Brass tacks, I'm gonna kill Kennedy and (President Ronald) Reagan, and I really mean it."
The FBI considered the sender armed and dangerous, but an accompanying psychological analysis said she was "merely ventilating her frustrations and projecting her inadequacies."
The 1985 threat was among 2352 pages of documents the FBI posted on its website regarding the senator, who died last year at the age of 77 after fighting brain cancer. Most of the documents are about death threats and extortion attempts against the Massachusetts Democrat.
"These threats originated from multiple sources, including individuals, anonymous persons, and members of radical groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, "Minutemen" organisations, and the National Socialist White People's Party," the FBI wrote on its website.
Kennedy faced death threats when he ran for president in 1980 and before that in the years following the assassinations of his older brothers.
