You can pinpoint the exact moment when the line between politics and celebrity went from blurred to crystal clear. It was the evening of May 19, 1962
at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
That was the night Marilyn Monroe, in a gold, beaded gown by Oscar-winning French costume designer, Jean Louis, sang a breathless “happy birthday” to president John F Kennedy at a $1,000-a-head fundraiser in the Big Apple.
Monroe’s rumoured lover Kennedy would later call the sensual performance “wholesome”, while his wife, Jackie, who did not attend, would tell her sister Lee Radziwill
: “Life’s too short to worry about Marilyn Monroe.”
