Inga Marie Arvad Petersen (6 October 1913 – 12 December 1973) was a Danish-American journalist noted for being a guest of Adolf Hitler at the 1936 Summer Olympics and for her romantic relationship with John F. Kennedy in 1941 and 1942. The juxtaposition of these facts led to suspicions during World War II that she was a Nazi spy. Secret U.S. investigations uncovered no such evidence, and her past did not harm her professional life or social standing in the United States. She was a motion picture writer for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1945 [2] and a Hollywood gossip columnist, [3] and from the late 1940s until her death she was the wife of wealthy cowboy actor and military officer Tim McCoy .

Arvad was the 1931 beauty queen selected by the Danish newspaper Berlingske Tidende . [4] Arvad attended the Columbia School of Journalism in New York, and then moved to Washington D.C., where she worked as a columnist at the Washington Times-Herald. She met John F. Kennedy in Washington through his sister Kathleen , who was a reporter at the same newspaper. Arvad was said to have a good "intuitive style of writing" by her editor. [5]

In 1935, as a freelance reporter, [6] she interviewed Hitler, and this connection would color the rest of her life. She is thought to be among the few Scandinavians who interviewed Hitler. [2] He granted her two [7] or, perhaps, three interviews. [3] Arvad had scooped her colleagues earlier by reporting that Hermann Göring was soon to marry German actress Emmy Sonnemann . [6]

She was invited to the wedding and met important Nazis. Through Joseph Goebbels she secured an interview with Hitler. [8] In her article, a description of Hitler was later translated into English as: "You immediately like him. He seems lonely. The eyes, showing a kind heart, stare right at you. They sparkle with force." [4] Arvad was Hitler's guest at the 1936 Summer Olympics , which led to her being investigated by the FBI in America as a potential spy. [6] Hitler had told her that she was a perfect example of Nordic beauty. A photograph of her with Hitler surfaced and the FBI followed her, finding out that she was dating an American ensign, John F. Kennedy, son of the former U.S. ambassador to Britain. Kennedy's prominence led only to greater scrutiny of Arvad and suspicions about her that were never substantiated. Though she wrote only society news and never embraced Hitler's politics, the connection to him shadowed her professional life.

In November 1941, while John F. Kennedy served as an ensign in the U.S. Navy's Office of Naval Intelligence, he and Arvad began a romantic relationship. [4] Arvad was already being followed by the FBI because she was a resident alien. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover expressed concerns that she was a German spy given her personal contact with Adolf Hitler. When the FBI discovered that the "Ensign Jack" who had been visiting Arvad was, in fact, John F. Kennedy, they extended their investigation through wiretaps. [6] There was no evidence found to show Arvad, who was still married to Paul Fejos , was guilty of "any wrongdoing". However, that did not deter Hoover's FBI from the continued use of listening devices when Arvad and Kennedy were together. [9]

Kennedy's superior officer at the time, Captain Seymour A. D. Hunter, was quoted as saying that the U.S. Navy viewed Arvad as similar to Mata Hari . They thought she was using Kennedy to find out all she could about what was going on in the Navy Department. Captain Howard Klingman, then assistant director of the Office of Naval Intelligence, called Hunter into his office. Hunter was told that Kennedy needed to be put out of the Navy. Hunter pointed out that the situation was delicate because of Joseph P. Kennedy 's having been United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom. However, he believed the young naval intelligence officer was not privy to information that would be "more than a bit embarrassing". Hunter advised that Kennedy be transferred to a seagoing unit. [3]

Kennedy was reassigned to a desk job in South Carolina in January 1942, and the relationship with Arvad ended after a few brief encounters. Kennedy later stated he thought Hoover might have had something to do with his transfer. [10] Kennedy and Arvad knew they were being followed, and in the FBI transcripts of their encounters they sometimes spoke to "whoever is listening". [ citation needed ] Arvad later reflected on her time with Kennedy as a "passing affair". [11]

Arvad's first husband was Kamal Abdel Nabi, whom she married in 1931, when she was 17. Her second husband was to Hungarian film director Paul Fejos . She appeared in two Danish films, Storm Varsel and a Fejos-directed 1934 film Flight from the Millions . She was still married to Fejos when she traveled to the United States, as well as during her affair with Kennedy. She obtained a divorce from Fejos in June 1942. [12]

She became engaged to Robert Boothby , a British member of Parliament, in May 1945. He met Arvad in Los Angeles while he was with a British delegation to a conference in San Francisco, California. [2] Boothby sent her a 20-page letter pleading with her to marry him after he returned to England. Arvad accepted, but then broke off the engagement because of a compliment Hitler once paid her as being "the perfect Nordic beauty" and the effect it might have on Boothby's political career. Arvad commented that she despised Hitler's policies and only saw him on the two occasions of her interviews. However, the English press made much of her audience with him and Boothby was soon to be seeking re-election. [7] Arvad was suspected of being the mistress of Axel Wenner-Gren , a Swedish industrialist on the U.S. State Department blacklist. No proof of such a relationship has surfaced. [3]

Arvad married American actor Tim McCoy in 1946 and became a U.S. citizen. [13]

She and McCoy had two sons, Ronald and Terence. McCoy met Arvad when he was making a film short shot on a Native American reservation. McCoy and Arvad resided on a 127-acre (0.51 km 2 ) estate in Bucks County, Pennsylvania named Dolington Manor, also known as the Benjamin Taylor Homestead. [13] McCoy moved there after selling his Wyoming ranch, the Eagle's Nest, [14] where he had lived for 37 years. When their first child was born in August 1947, McCoy was 56. He had three children [15] from his previous marriage to Agnes Miller, daughter of actress Bijou Heron . [16]

In January 1946 David O. Selznick sent Arvad on a tour of 25 to 30 American cities to promote Duel in the Sun . She was accompanied by Anita Colby , Florence Pritchett , and Laura Wells. [17]

Inga Arvad died of cancer on a ranch near Nogales, Arizona in 1973. She was survived by her husband and their two sons. [8] She was buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery in Saginaw, Michigan.


Inga Ley was born on March 8, 1916 as Inga Ursula Spilcker in Wroclaw, Poland (at the time the German city of Breslau). Inga was the daughter of the opera and concert singer Max Spilcker and his wife Lory “Lore” Franzisker Spilcker, born Kotz, who was also an opera singer.
Inga and her younger sister Gittli were given voice training lessons by their parents. In 1935, Inga, with her fine mezzo soprano voice, was performing at the Friedrichstadt-Palast, Berlin when she met her future husband Robert Ley for the first time.
The young Inga, who had grown up to extraordinary beauty, was courted by him, presented with flowers after the performances, and finally invited by him to receptions and travels. At such a reception in 1936 Inga was introduced to Hitler, who was also impressed by the beautiful singer.
In 1936 she took part in a trip to Italy with Robert Ley, in 1937 on a Baltic Sea voyage with one of the KdF ships, and ” word spread around” about Inga and Robert Ley afterwards. Inga, a rather restrained young woman, returned the love of this 26-year older and powerful man in the party hierarchy, and apparently both began planning for a common future at least since 1937. They were married a year later on 20 August 1938.
 NSDAP Reichsleiter Dr. Robert Ley was the leader of the Deutsche Arbeitsfront (German Labour Front). It was Robert Ley’s second marriage. He was 26 years older than Inga at the time and the marriage was not a happy one. The honeymoon took place on the KDF (Kraft Durch Freude, Strength Through Joy) ship “Robert Ley”. Hitler was also there with other High ranking Nazi figures.
She was very much admired by Hitler and often took refuge from her husband’s heavy drinking by staying at Hitler’s mountain retreat in the Obersalzberg.
There were three children born from the marriage: Lore (born October 25, 1938), Wolf (born May 14, 1940) and Gloria (born June 27, 1941) The Leys first lived in their villa in Berlin, Herthastraße 13/15. Adolf Hitler was a frequent visitor, sometimes visiting them twice a week. On January 1 1936 Robert Ley bought a large country estate, which included a farm, in Gut Rottland which is located in Waldbröl near Gummersbach. In 1940 Ley received from Adolf Hitler a monetary gift worth one million Reichsmarks, which he used to finance the farm. Inga liked to stay in Gut Rottland to get away from the hectic daily routine in Berlin. However Berlin remained the centre of her life as it was where her husband worked and where her friends were. The staff was expanded to include a nanny and a nurse. Like her parents, Inga had a hospitable house; Artists and political celebrities came to visit. Adolf Hitler was one of the regular guests of the Leys, sometimes he came twice a week.
Between 1938 and 1942, we often found the Leys to be welcome guests at various receptions and events, and it was always Inga Ley who drew admiring glances from the participants. Her husband enjoyed the brilliance that Inga spread, all the more as some rays fell back on him. The luck would have been perfect if Inga had not suffered from a health handicap.
Every since Inga graduated from the High School, Inga had been plagued with recurring bile colic (gallbladder attacks). Her condition was further affected by the fact that she had to undergo an appendectomy during her pregnancy with Lore. As Robert Ley reported in his Nuremberg Interviews: the bile colic, began then and continued from then on even more often. To combat the pain, the doctors used morphine, of which Inga became dependent over the years.
Under the pseudonym Inga Hansen, in Januari 1941 Inga Ley wrote a children’s book – Es War Einmal, kleine Märchen für kleine Leute – (Once Upon a Time, Little Fairy Tales for Little People). She illustrated the book herself. The neat little and very rare book was red linen bound (with title embossed in gold) and was reissued again in 1943 in two gold embossed different colors (green end red) (the illustrations and versions from this book can be found in photo album 3)
In March 1941, when she was five months pregnant, Inga suffered a bad accident while riding in her carriage near Waldbröl. While riding near the “Brölbähnchen” railway line a whistle from an approaching train startled the horses. Inga was thrown out of the carriage and suffered a miscarriage. She was immediately flown to a hospital in Berlin. The baby survived the accident unscathed and was born prematurely three months later on June 27 1941. To celebrate the German forces early victories in Russia (Operation Barbarossa) the baby was named Gloria. While in hospital Inga was given morphine for pain relief which she was soon to become dependent on for the remainder of her short life.
Worried about the allied bombing raids on Berlin, Inga moved permantly to Gut Rottland at the end of 1941. After living a cultured life in Berlin, Inga found living on a farm away from her husband to be quite a challenge. She was not accepted by the estate’s administrative staff and missed her husband who spent most of his time in Berlin. She continued to seek refuge in morphine came addicted and in May 1942 she was admitted to a sanatorium in San Remo for treatment. The treatment was unsuccessful and in August and October 1942 she was in another sanatorium, this time in Berlin. Her state of mind was badly damaged and she was suffering from severe cramps.
In the last days of 1942, Inga left Berlin and returned to Gut Rottland. There were many Poles, Ukrainians and Russian prisoners of war working on the farm so handguns were issued to protect Inga and her staff from possible attacks. Robert Ley was at Gut Rottland in December that same year and was under orders to reported to the Führer headquarters, Wolfsschanze before the end of the year. Those last days at Gut Rottland were later described by witnesses as not very harmonious. Inga Ley’s depressive mood, coupled by the bad military situation in Russia (Stalingrad) made Robert Ley nervous and irritable.
Ley planned to leave Gut Rottland with Otto Marrenbach for the Führer headquarters on December 29 at 6 o’clock in the evening. According to Robert Ley’s private secretary, Hildegard Brüninghoff, while they were waiting downstairs for the company car, Inga Ley went up to her bedroom on the first floor and shot herself. Ley and Marrenbach ran to the upper floor and tried to open the locked bedroom door. After forcing the door open they found Inga laying across her bed with a single shot to the forehead. She had committed suicide. She was driven to it by loneliness, her dependency on pain killing drugs following complications during childbirth and her husband’s upcoming departure. She was 26 years old when she died. She was buried in the oak grove (see the Ahnenhain auf Rottland photo album) adjacent to her home in Gut Rottland. (Robert Ley ordered that Inga’s parents (Max Spilcker and his wife Lore) be granted custody of their three children. A farewell letter was found which proved that Inga had been planning suicide for some time. Her husband’s upcoming departure was the trigger that brought it on.
Adolf Hitler was deeply moved when he heard of the death of Inga Ley. He wrote her mother a letter of condolence which is very revealing and gives an insight into his state of mind.
As for Robert Ley, he increasingly devoted his time to “womanising and heavy drinking.” A few months after his wife’s death, in March 1943, he took a mistress. Ley did not marry his mistress because he was afraid of ridicule as she was 18 years old and he was 54 at the time. This, however, did not prevent her from bearing him a child, which was delivered in September 1944.

Tales of President John F. Kennedy 's infidelities during his 10-year marriage to First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy have circulated for more than half a century.


In a 2016 cover story, PEOPLE profiled some of the women who claimed or were reported to be involved with the 35th president.


However, in August 2021, another woman came forward with news of an alleged affair. Diana de Vegh said she engaged in a relationship with the president when she was 20 years old.


The affair allegedly began in 1958, making him twice her age. De Vegh, now 83, said that Kennedy would often say there was "something special" about her, which admittedly captured her attention.


But this, she said, "is not a romantic story." In fact, she said it took "years to recover" from the romance — "almost as many years" as it took for her to come forward with her story.


De Vegh said that she was a junior at Radcliffe College in Cambridge, Massachusetts, when she attended her first political dinner, a benefit for Kennedy. She and Kennedy locked eyes from across the table. At one point, the Massachusetts Senator asked someone to give up their seat "so a tired old man can sit next to a pretty girl," leaving the college student starstruck.


The two supposedly met up several times following the benefit. Eventually, de Vegh said, Kennedy invited her back to his apartment in Boston, and the relationship turned romantic, with de Vegh even moving to Washington, D.C., after Kennedy was elected president.


"What could I have been thinking?" de Vegh said, adding "I was feeling, in full movie-star-infatuation mode."


"For a Great Man, he was still in the throes of the male mythology of his time: see pretty young woman, have pretty young woman," she wrote.


Read on for more of the women profiled in PEOPLE's 2016 cover story.


Exner, who served as a conduit between JFK and mobster Sam Giancana, famously claimed that she had an abortion after she became pregnant with the President's child.


"Jack couldn't have been more loving, more concerned about my feelings, more considerate, more gentle," Exner, the daughter of a well-off architect, told PEOPLE of JFK in a 1988 interview.


Longtime gossip columnist Liz Smith, who wrote extensively about Exner in the years after the latter's 1977 memoir My Story 's publication, says Jackie was unsurprised — and fascinated — by what she learned.


"Her good friends Truman Capote and Gore Vidal told me she knew all about Judith Exner and everybody else, and she read my stories on Judith with high interest,"
