Summary

In this week's Double-Dunne episode, we explore the life and times of Judith Campbell Exner. Associated in more than you may expect - not just the girlfriend of Frank Sinatra, John F. Kennedy, and Sami Giancana, Judith stands alongside Marilyn Monroe - both women were used by powerful men of the generation for their own aims and motivations.

0:46.8	that you are with us today. Thanks so much for joining. Today I am using the Taylor Swift song
0:53.2	The Lucky One as a theme for our story about Judith
0:57.9	Campbell-Exner. The lucky one is quite in contrast against Mirrorball, what I think of when I think
1:05.2	about Maryland, just like Judith Campbell-Exner is quite a contrast against Maryland. These two women were both

1:30.8	You might hear her name and some not great things come to mind that get ballied about when it
1:38.5	comes to Judith. She's a mafia doll. She's a political mistress. She's a sex worker. All largely untrue.

2:12.8	What are some of these?
