In the eyes of many people, a woman's beauty is a stepping stone, which can make their lives invincible.
However, this seems to be only for the attraction of the opposite sex, if two beautiful women meet, then why should they divide the winner?
At that time, the famous American movie star Marilyn Monroe became Kennedy's lover, and she was bent on replacing first lady Jacqueline.
To this end, Monroe did not spend less energy and charm, and pleasing Kennedy was her best skill.
Pretending to be a reporter and going into the White House to date Kennedy is probably something the whole world knows. But Kennedy was so happy that he even disguised himself as his secretary in order to be with her.
Not only that, Kennedy did not shy away from the relationship between the two people at all, introducing Monroe to know many important people around him. It was probably for this reason that Monroe had the idea of replacing the first lady.
Roberts, a White House official at the time, later put it this way:
"It should be noted that Marilyn Monroe lives in three dream worlds, and one of her latest dreams is to marry Kennedy and replace Jacqueline."
It is said that Monroe once asked Roberts:
"Why would the president marry a statue like Jacqueline?" I'm sure he never felt when he touched her. ”
As soon as these words came out, people should see a real Monroe very clearly: empty and empty.
She had no idea what disguise was, what politics was, and she didn't even know her "opponent" Jacqueline.
Monroe was unaware of her low IQ, and she repeatedly asked Roberts and others: "I am sure they are arranged marriages, they are really pitiful, firmly tied up by such an unfortunate marriage, when I am with the president, I can see clearly, he does not love her at all." 」 ”
Probably in order to show her difference, Monroe began to completely ignore Jacqueline.
She once asked Kennedy playfully, "Will I be first lady?" Kennedy was said to have just smiled but didn't respond to her.
In fact, Monroe has done countless "stupid" things, open the book "Those Precious Days", you can see the madness about Monroe, for Kennedy, she has been completely reckless.
One day in 1961, Monroe called the White House, and she proudly told Jacqueline: I spent the Spring Supper with your husband. And, she said very solemnly: "Jacqueline, I will be Kennedy's second wife".
So how did Jacqueline respond? People didn't even raise their tone a little, but said lightly:
"Marilyn, you'll marry Kennedy, which is great, and then you can move to the White House and take on all the duties of the first lady, and I'll move out and all the problems will fall on your head."
Monroe was completely dumbfounded, and she stayed where she was, not knowing how to answer.
Obviously, Jacqueline is a powerful character for Monroe, they are fighting for a man, but one is calm, the other is arrogant.
This is the result of different IQ, Monroe is not Jacqueline's opponent at all, because she seems to have nothing to come up with against Jacqueline except sexy and beautiful.
Monroe was always curious about why Kennedy would marry Jacqueline, but what she didn't know was that Kennedy had spent a lot of effort to get Jacqueline, and in this relationship, Jacqueline always maintained a "passive" mode, which was absolutely different from Monroe's "initiative".
Turning over the history of Jacqueline 'capturing' Kennedy, we can clearly see that Jacqueline had nothing at that time, her work and family were very ordinary, and even her appearance was not beautiful at all.
However, her attitude toward Kennedy was to welcome and refuse.
Every time Kennedy wanted to date her, she would always come up with reasons to say no. But at the same time as refusing, Jacqueline will let Kennedy see her abilities: strength and talent at work and in life.
For this reason, Kennedy, a man who said he would not marry, actually proposed to Jacqueline.
How does Jacqueline do in moments like these? She said: "I haven't thought about it yet and want to travel to Europe myself. ”
So Jacqueline left Kennedy and flew freely for a few days.
When she returned to the United States, Kennedy was already looking forward to it, which was a bit of a long-lost reunion, and it made Kennedy completely unable to control the passion in his body. So he immediately engaged Jacqueline.
You see, if this were put on Monroe, what would she do?
Of course, based on what she did later, it was already clear to everyone: Monroe was too direct and too proactive.
As Pat Laudford put it:
"This relationship she (Monroe) had with the president was the harshest and most terrible relationship of her life. Monroe didn't figure out that Kennedy slept with her not out of admiration but out of vanity, that he wanted to have the sexiest movie star of the day, that she was just a symbol of his personality, and that she wanted nothing else. ”
Unfortunately, Monroe did not know it, and she forced the incident to move forward little by little like playing with fire and self-immolation.
On May 19, 1962, she put on her sexiest pajamas and sang in person, and in front of many people, she said in very provocative language: "Happy birthday, my president." ”
The next day, it became a well-known story, and her young fate became confused.
Monroe would never have dreamed that in three months, she would have her own ending.
In fact, Monroe has done outrageous things that are definitely not only these. When Kennedy wanted to pull out of the relationship, Monroe was nervous and scared, and she took out all her hole cards and showed Kennedy in a threatening manner: "If you don't marry me, I'll shake out all your troubles." ”
That's the gap, right?
Jacqueline used to get Kennedy, and in order to save the marriage, she used to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Kennedy's aide, Godfrey McHugh, said, "Yes, Jacqueline knows all of Kennedy's women. ”
But she only knew, and then pretended not to know, giving Kennedy enough face and preserving his reputation as president.
Monroe, on the other hand, threatened Kennedy with the political image she cared most about.
This is Monroe's shortcoming, right? It's not that Jacqueline is too strong, I'm afraid I can only say that Monroe is too incompetent. Of course, this also can't blame her, the misery of sending people under the fence from childhood makes her have no chance to learn, and it is doomed to make her lose what she wants.
This is Monroe's sadness, incompetence, lack of INTELLIGENCE.
When faced with a problem, it is either avoidance or rampage. I believe that when she meets Jacqueline and fights with her, she will understand that the first lady is not so easy to do, beauty is only one aspect, through proper dress can have.
However, IQ is the most important, exquisite in all aspects, acting opportunistically, knowing astronomy from above, geography from below, and even fighting for power and favor.
This is the difficulty of the first lady, and competition without IQ is doomed to be a dead end.
Monroe paid for this, and it was her life at only 36 years old. She met Kennedy at the age of 25, and at the age of 31, she really came together, but she died a bizarre death after just 5 years, how not to make people sigh.
Of course, it wasn't long before Kennedy was also stabbed in the streets.
At this point, Jacqueline gorgeously quit the fight with all the women, and she won.
As written in Those Precious Days:
"When Jack (Kennedy) was shot and died next to Jackie 50 years ago, did they really love each other? After experiencing events, shames, triumphs, and disasters that the public knows or doesn't know, do their hearts really end up together? ”
It doesn't matter, love or not, Kennedy can only be Jacqueline's.
