An open letter to my son, dearest Stephen. I was under a death sentence in February of 1987 when i haltingly told you the identity of your true father In a clear voice as if explaining something to a child I told you there never had been a right time

At our last meeting at the Shamrock Hotel in Houston, Texas in 1969 I begged Lyndon to acknowledge you as his son since he was once again a private citizen and no longer an elected official governed by the polls of public opinion. But he was not willing to risk his reputation and his post-presidential image or embarrass his official family. I was pleased with your acceptance of what I knew to have been a traumatic revelation Four months passed before the next painful chapter occurred, reopening my own emotional wounds with a vengeance. The triggering factor? A $10.5 million lawsuit filed against Lyndon's widow Lady Bird for conspiring to deny you your legal airship. Included in your lawsuit was an affidavit from me relating a lengthy affair with Lyndon from 1948-1969 In the ensuing weeks

The human interest story of my relationship with Lyndon was featured in almost every newspaper in the country, and it was covered on nightly news programs. I was inundated with phone calls from magazines and talk shows all requesting interviews. It was absolutely unbelievable! As you know, I was employed by one of Dallas's largest advertising agencies and was invited to Lyndon's senatorial victory party over Governor Coke Stevenson to honor his campaign workers. I became instantly involved with your father when he asked me to dance. After these many years my heart still races when i think of him above all

This is a true love story about your father and me, caught in a turbulent world grasping for happiness. He wore two faces one of a talented inspiring leader the other that of an insufferable bastard he was the most magnificent and the most manipulative person I have ever met everyone who knew or worked for your father recognized his schizophrenic personality yet they remained loyal As did I. Though our relationship ended after 21 years, his spirit will always remain alive in my heart We were two people who gave each other comfort laughter love and most importantly you our son Influential best-selling authors featured Madeline's life and her relationship with the president in their books And have authenticated her story

I heard about Madeline about four or five years ago, and I first met her and found her totally credible. And a very brave lady that takes a lot of courage to bare your soul the way she has Yes they did know about Madeline Brown it was one of these gentlemanly secrets you know there's something they knew about but nobody wrote about at that time Madeline has been frequently interviewed by the media in Europe and Japan, where there is a great deal of interest in her life. Because of the worldwide attention and news coverage, Madeline receives cards letters and gifts from fans in many countries Today, Madeleine is a frequent guest at conferences and symposiums on The Kennedy Assassination

as she was only 100 yards away when the assassination took place and knew many of the prominent people associated with the tragedy. She spends her free time responding to requests from researchers throughout the world. Director Oliver Stone and actor Kevin Costner consulted with Madeline during the making of the film JFK, after Stephen's tragic death of cancer at the age of 39
