New book claims Elizabeth Taylor slept with Ronald Reagan... and engaged in threesome with JFK

For a lady married eight times (two of which were to the same man), it would be fair to say Elizabeth Taylor enjoyed the company of various men throughout her her glittering showbiz career.

And now it has been claimed that not only did she have a string of romances with fellow screen stars - but also with Presidents Ronald Reagan and John F Kennedy.

The former liaison allegedly occurred when she was a teenager, with the latter encounter reportedly taking place as a threesome with actor Robert Stack, according to an explosive new biography.

Three's a crowd: Elizabeth Taylor, centre, with Ronald and Nancy Reagan, discuss the play The Little Foxes, in which the actress starred, in March 1981

Elizabeth Taylor: There is Nothing Like a Dame - penned by authors Danforth Prince and Darwin Potter - is an unauthorised biography that explores the colourful love live of the late National Velvet star.

 

According to the book, the actress confessed to a friend after she was seduced at Reagan's Hollywood Hills home, saying: 'Reagan was treating me like a grown woman, and that thrilled me.

Loves of her life: Liz Taylor, left with Cleopatra co-star, and fifth (and sixth) husband Richard Burton; right, with husband John Warner, whom she married in 1976 - the same year her second marriage to Burton had ended

Number four: The actress pictured with husband Eddie Fisher, circa 1962

'We sat on his sofa and I could tell he wanted to get it on but he seemed reluctant to make the first move. I became the aggressor.

'After a heavy make-out session on the sofa, we went into the bedroom.'

The book claims Regan [born in 1911] was 36 at the time of the alleged encounter, which means it would have been 1947.

That would put Taylor, born in 1932, at just 15-years-old.

Stars in her eyes: Ms Taylor with first husband, hotel heir Conrad 'Nicky' Hilton Jr, circa 1951, left, and again with husband Burton, circa 1971, right

Film star and celebrated singer: The actress, again with Fisher, cira 1960. The pair were married 1959-1964

Under cover: Taylor arrives at Heathrow Airport with her seventh husband, John Warner, in December 1976

The authors claim it was a nude dip in JFK's pool that would turn into a threesome between the actress, the politician and actor Robert Stack.

Prince and Porter allege Taylor also counted Peter Lawford, Errol Flynn, Tony Curtis, Paul Newman and Frank Sinatra as lovers - her romance with Ol' Blue Eyes becoming one of the more serious.

Ms Taylor's estate has yet to respond to MailOnline's request for comment.

The terrifying world of child brides: Devastating images show girls young enough to be in pre-school who are married off to older men

At age 11, Ghulam was married off to 40-year-old Jaiz in a rural Afghan village, making her only one of more than 10 million young girls who are being forced to wed men old enough to be their fathers or grandfather every year.

In an effort to start a global conversation about the devastating effects of early marriages, which are currently practiced in more than 50 developing countries, the United Nations designated October 11 as International Day of the Girl Child this year.

To mark the occasion and draw attention to the problem of child brides, photojournalist Stephanie Sinclair teamed up with National Geographic to create  a series of heart-breaking photos depicting girls as young as five years old being married off to middle-aged men in countries like India, Yemen and Ethiopia.

Disturbing: Faiz, 40 (left), and Ghulam (right), 11, sit in her home prior to their wedding in the rural Damarda Village, Afghanistan on September 11, 2005

Minors: Tahani (front), 8, is seen with her husband Majed, 27, and her former classmate Ghada (rear), 8, and her husband outside their home in Hajjah, Yemen

Voiceless: Sumeena Shreshta Balami, right, 15, leaves her home to meet her groom, Prakash Balami, 16, in Kagati Village in Nepal, while Sarita, left, 15, is seen covered in tears and sweat before she is sent to her new home in Rajasthan, India 

Vulnerable: Young girls sit inside a home outside of Al Hudaydah, Yemen, in 2010

Although child marriage is against the law in many countries, and international treaties forbid the practice, it is estimates that about 51 million girls below age 18 are currently married, often under the cover of darkness and in secret. In Afghanistan alone, it is believed that approximately 57 per cent of girls wed before the legal age of 16. 

Various factors drive parents of child brides to marry off their daughters, from the community’s pressure to confirm to age-old cultural customs to economic considerations. In poor, developing nations, it is not uncommon for families to settle debts by offering their daughters as payment.    

Beside India, where girls are usually wed to boys who are only a couple of years their senior, the husbands may be decades older than their prepubescent betrothed. It is not uncommon for men to kidnap girls and rape them first before trying the knot.

Child mothers: Asia, a 14-year-old mother, washes her new baby girl at home in Hajjah while her two-year-old daughter plays

Since 2003, Sinclair has been traveling to remote corners of the world in countries like Nepal and Yemen to document weddings of child brides and their transformation into young mothers in the hope of giving them a voice and raising awareness of the problem. 

Experts agree that early marriage denies the girls education and robs them of their childhood because most young wives, burdened by grownup responsibilities, do not get a chance to interact with their peers or carry on friendships outside the household.   

Ghulam, the 11-year-old bride from Afghanistan who was married off in 2005, was forced to drop out of school, giving up on her dream of becoming a teacher one day. Parents often remove their daughters from school even before they are engaged to limit their interactions with boys. 

In many cases, the girls are lorded over by their husbands and in-laws, leaving them vulnerable to domestic violence as well as physical, sexual and verbal abuse. 

Underage wives who are lucky enough to escape from their husbands end up living in poverty, or worse. Some girls turn to prostitution to earn a meager income and enter brothels, where they are subjected to horrific abuse.  

Fearless: Nujood Ali, right, was ten when she fled her abusive, much older husband and took a taxi to the courthouse in Sanaa, Yemen, while, Debritu, right, 14, escaped from her husband while seven month pregnant

Gruesome: Police woman Malalai Kakar (back right) arrests Janan, 35, after he tried to kill his 15-year-old wife Jamila for angering him by fleeing her home to stay with her mother following years of abuse

Rock bottom: A young prostitute named China sits stunned after being beat up by a man visiting Kabele Five in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia

Most girls who enter early marriages are expected to get pregnant right away, which often leads to tragedy for both the mothers, who are still children themselves, and their babies.  

Adolescent wives are more likely to have obstructed labor because their bodies have not fully developed yet. Statistics show that pregnancy death for child brides is double that of women in the 20s, according to the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.

One doctor based in the Yemeni capital Sanaa listed some of the medical consequences of forcing girls into sex and childbirth before they are physically mature - ripped vaginal walls and internal ruptures called fistulas which can lead to life-long incontinence.

Girls are often too young to understand the concept of reproduction. The doctor said: 'The nurses start by asking, "Do you know what's happening?" "Do you understand that this is a baby that has been growing inside of you?"'

Unless international organizations take steps to reverse the troubling trend, it is estimated that over the next decade, 100 million more girls—or about 25,000 girls a day—will marry before they turn 18.

Tradition: Ghulam, 11, says a prayer with male family members to cement her engagement to Faiz, 40
