Mimi Beardsley, JFK playmate,
in the news on May 15, 2003
On JFK’s plane trips:
“Whenever the President traveled,
members of the press staff traveled as well.
You always have a press secretary
and a couple of girls traveling….
Mimi, who obviously couldn’t perform
any function at all, made all the trips!”
Apparently there was some function….
“Don’t forget the coffee!”
– Punchline from the film
“Good Will Hunting.”
