Connie Controversy

1963: Connie Francis requests a personal meeting with President John F. Kennedy to discuss her concerns about his Indochina policy. Instead, she is snubbed with a form letter, a humiliating rejection for one of the most popular singers of her day. She immediately vows that she will “ruin” the president. According White House records, she receives the rejection letter on Thursday, November 21, 1963. Coincidence?
