Downfall of a golden boy
Peter Lawford was the only Brit in the eminent Rat Pack
Lawford is credited with introducing Marilyn Monroe to Presi- dent John F Kennedy and is said to be the last person who spoke to her before she died. Yet despite a string of hit films including Ocean’s 11 he died, impoverished, at just 61.
Now, tied in with a radio documentary tomorrow entitled Brother-in-Lawford, Christopher Lawford, his eldest son, has talked about how he believes his four- times-married father struggled with alcohol abuse and died penniless because “money doesn’t last long in Hollywood and he didn’t have any role models”.
The show sets out to give a warts and all profile of the film luminary dubbed “Brother-in-Lawford” by a jealous Frank Sinatra. Shocking claims about his childhood including sexual abuse by his nanny and an uncle suggest the roots that led to his death after years of alcoholism.
He didn’t acquire a bad spirit. He mostly hurt himself.

Added to this the scrutiny of his sexuality and rumours that his mother made him dress as a girl and split his parents’ bed until he was 12 makes for some uncomfortable subject matter.

Peter Sydney Ernest Lawford (né Aylen; 7 September 1923 – 24 December 1984) was an English player. He resided in the United States throughout his adult life.[1][2][3] He was a member of the "Rat Pack" and the brother-in-law of US president John F. Kennedy and senators Robert F. Kennedy and Edward Kennedy. From the 1940s to the 1960s, he was a well-known celebrity and starred in a number of highly acclaimed films. In later years, he was noted more for his off-screen activities as a celebrity than for his acting; it was said that he was "famous for being famous".[4]
Darwin Porter, author of Merv Griffin: a Life in the Closet, said: “We met in ’59 when he sang for my senior prom and the scholar committee paid him $500. What he made then was a far sob from the billionaire he was at the conclude. He lost his virginity, to a female, that is, when Judy Garland seduced him. His first crush was Errol Flynn, whom he saw passed out naked on a couch. His roommate a year and a half was Montgomery Clift. He lived with Roddy McDowall at the Dakota,
In 1958, when Kennedy decided to launch a campaign for the presidency from his Massachusetts Senate seat, the United States was on the cusp of a sexual revolution that would challenge and modify many people. JFK’s numerous affairs (before, during and after his marriage to Jackie) and his friendships with gay men suddenly had a social and cultural context. Criticisms from others in the Kennedy orbit insinuate that Jack took advantage of Lem’s love for him without reciprocating. David Pitts quotes Vidal cruelly calling Billings “a lifelong slave,” “the principal fag at court,” and a “nurse” who helped Jack deal with the pain caused by Addison’s disease.
Indeed, it often seems that Kennedy did treat people who loved him for granted. This may have been correct of his wife, although perhaps she understood that their marriage would be non-monogamous. Our most reliable accounts of JFK’s carelessness are not from Lem, but from women who later came forward. For example, in Once Upon a Secret (2012), Mimi Alford describes an affair she had with Kennedy, beginning in the summer of 1962 when she was 19 and termination shortly b
