She was the demurely dressed fashion icon who stole the hearts of a president and a playboy.
But beneath the cool exterior, Jackie Kennedy was a passionate woman who seduced Marlon Brando and had an affair with her brother-in-law Bobby, a new book claims.
Unsubstantiated claims about a relationship with Bobby Kennedy have surfaced several times over the last few years.
His book, Bobby and Jackie: A Love Story, makes a series of claims about the woman who became known as Jackie O after marrying the Greek billionaire and playboy Aristotle Onassis in 1968.
Arguably the biggest revelation is a short-lived affair with Brando in 1964 which is described partly in the Oscar-winning actor's own words.
Brando, who had a reputation as a Hollywood bad boy, claims to have enjoyed two nights of passionate sex with Jackie and wanted to write about the encounter in his 1994 memoir Songs My Mother Taught Me.
But, according to Heymann, those passages were axed on the advice of an editor who was a friend of the former First Lady.
Brando claimed they enjoyed a three-hour meal which, he said, 'involved a good deal of drinking'.
Heymann writes: 'Jackie and the actor danced and drank. During their dance Jackie, deeply attracted to Brando, "pressed her thighs" suggestively into his. They danced again, then sat down and began to make out.'
He then gives Brando's own account of their first night together.
'From all I'd read and heard about her, Jacqueline Kennedy seemed coquettish and sensual but not particularly sexual,' the actor wrote.
'If anything, I pictured her as more voyeur than player. But that wasn't the case. She kept waiting for me to try to get her into bed.
'When I failed to make a move she took matters into her own hands and popped the magic question, "Would you like to spend the night?" I said, "I thought you'd never ask".'
Heymann claims that Jackie ended the affair. He writes: 'Having twice consummated her relationship with Brando, Jackie showed no interest in pursuing him further.'
The author has claimed before that Jackie had an affair with Bobby Kennedy. But in his new book, to be published next month, he describes how they spent Christmas 1964 together in Palm Beach and then holidayed in Antigua without Bobby's wife Ethel.
The claims have been denied by those close to the Kennedy circle.
