A Singular Love Story, Mimi Alford

1962, Washington, West Wing of the White House. Mimi, a 19-year-old student, joined Kennedy's press office. A naive young woman from a good family, she came from the same background and school as Jackie. She met JFK, who very quickly invited her to private gatherings. Guided by the President's closest and complicit collaborators, she obeyed, no longer quite knowing where propriety ended and complicity began. Seduced by the President, she shared a tumultuous intimacy for two years. Mimi Alford kept this affair a secret for nearly forty years. This secret destroyed her life; this secret is now bringing her back to life. Revealed by an article that caused a scandal in the United States in 2003, Mimi finally speaks about this passionate relationship and invites us to meet the most mythical of US presidents, behind the scenes of the White House, from the Cuban Missile Crisis to the assassination in Dallas.
