Maria Callas/Aristotle Onassis 6. Marilyn Monroe/JFK 7. Monica Lewisnky / Bill Clinton 8. Katharine Hepburn/Spencer Tracy 9. Camilla Parker Bowles and Prince Charles 10. Lucy Mercer/Franklin Roosevelt 11. Clara Petacci/Benito Mussolini A perverse love story in a way: she entered a long affair with Mussolini, who was 28 years her senior, when she was very young and stood by him through his falls at the end of the war. She was with him when he was captured and refused to leave his side even though she had wealthy family (and even a bit she herself had inherited or squirreled away) to go to, and instead was executed with him. (If anybody’s into morbid pics of dead Italian women you can google for pics of her post execution body strung up for spectators.) ---
