We still make references to this moment in presidential history in our culture today, with many documentaries, films, and television series examining the alleged affair from every conceivable angle.

Fox News is reporting that author J. Randy Taraborrelli claims that former first lady Jackie Kennedy was shocked when the Hollywood star called her home. I mean, I'm pretty sure all of us would be stunned to have had a call from Marilyn Monroe, but given the rumors swirling that her dear hubby, a man who boomers have idolized for decades now, had a fling with the sex symbol, well, this probably wasn't the good kind of shocked.

Here are the details of the call:

It was April 1962, and the first lady was in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, when the phone rang in her bedroom. When she picked up, the mother of two instantly recognized the breathy voice on the other end.

Author J. Randy Taraborrelli told Fox News Digital that the glamorous wife of President John F. Kennedy thought it was a cruel practical joke. His book, "Jackie: Public, Private, Secret," published on Tuesday, is based on nearly 25 years of research and hundreds of interviews with friends, family and lovers. It also references unreleased papers from the JFK Library, including diaries and oral histories.
