Judith Exner, who died in 1999, was open about her affair with John F. Kennedy from the mid-1970s on, penning a warts-and-all memoir, “My Story,” in 1977. In it, she recalls how she became the secret lover of the most powerful man in the world. In the late 1950s, Exner was a teenager and married to the famous and well-connected Hollywood actor William Campbell. Through him she became a famous Hollywood socialite, and by 1959 she was the lover of Frank Sinatra, who later introduced her to Kennedy, according to People. Her affair with Sinatra didn’t last long, and within a few meetings, Exner and Kennedy became romantically involved.

But Kennedy wasn’t the only big name that Exner came into contact with through Sinatra. She also made the acquaintance of a man named Sam Flood, whose real name was Sam Giancana (pictured), a notorious mobster with whom she later claimed to have also had an affair with.
