According to Mimi Alford, she had an 18 month affair with President John F. Kennedy. She believed her situation was "unquestionably glamorous and full of fun". This allegedly occurred when JFK first took office in 1960. It was reported that JFK had an affair with Alford when she was just a 19-year-old intern working for him. When it ended, she said that she had no regrets. She moved on with her life. She met and married Dick Alford. Mimi said, "The encouragement and Dick becoming my husband, helped me to confront my past. It led me to write a complete memoir."

In her book "Once Upon a Secret: My Affair with President John F. Kennedy and Its Aftermath", Alford shared explicit details about her relationship with JFK. She said, “I was sort of swept into this web. He was this handsome man (the president). He had charisma and magnetism.” She also noted, “It wasn’t a romantic affair. I don’t really remember the president ever kissing me or making any romantic comments. This fact makes me sad." She additionally said that she didn't really remember kissing him either. She didn’t think that any actions with Kennedy taught her how to have any kind of real platonic or sexual relationship with another individual.

Alford's reputed affair is just one of the many cheating scandals that supposedly occurred during Kennedy’s presidency.
