The Other Woman Doesn’t Work

Not that she was destined to become the next Angelina Jolie – not even close – but since B List and reality stars are all the rage these days, who’s to say she would not have had a career revival as the matriarch for a new generation? Or a movie of the week once every few weeks?

The problem is her love life. She is in love with a man who has a wife. A man who comes from a legendary family. A man who is supposed to be a bastion of fidelity, with strong values and a wholesome image. This is not the man who should be carrying on an affair with an actress, hidden away in hotels, picked up on the sly by his security team, given a code name by his people. Her birthday is noted in his assistant’s organiser, it’s as official as it gets, only it’s also the best kept secret, and he intends to keep it that way which is why she’s only allowed to work sparingly. Which means guest appearances only and no long standing commitments, lest she reappear on the radar and invite a little curiosity, potentially blowing their cover.

She lives by his rules because she thinks what they have is real and forever but not surprisingly, he has his eye on someone else. Almost her doppelganger. Some say she will be replaced. Is cheating hereditary?

[LynnieD]

Geez....legendary family that I assume the father cheated since she asks if its hereditary...

I got nothing here!!!

[Manboob]

She doesn't say he's an actor... maybe a political family? Not Bush...?!

[LynnieD]

True....

Wonder if Barack and Scarlett?? Because she does say actress.

No, its not Scarlett, because she is working a lot....and too young for this blind.

[MontanaMama]

This is one of the best blinds in a long time...ok

security detail
code name
legendary family
a parent who notoriously cheated
known for a solid marriage

Actress would be a "matriarch" - so 40's up (but that's not nec. indicative of the age of the man)
Small bit parts
Good buzz in youth (?)

I'm thinking political but I am totally stumped.

[cmmdee]

Good blind! Unfortunately, I have no guesses to contribute!
Whoever it is, their mother must have been a major cheater/player in the past... Darnit! I want to know who this is!

[Belindagogo]

McCain cheated on his first wife with the current wife but I don't think his family is legendary so it's probably not him.

[nycgirl]

It's Bill Clinton and that dark haired actress. There was a thread here a few days back.

[Belindagogo]

^^but he's not a bastion of fidelity and I don't think his family is legendary

[Sasha]

^^Right Belindagogo.

This could be a Kennedy offspring, maybe RFK Jr. He has a very wholsesome image, but as we all know, his father and uncle were horndogs extraordinaire...I can't think of who the actress would be, probably someone based on the East Coast.

[Belindagogo]

the only other east Coast family I could think of is the Cuomo's or (Jeb) Bush but he's a cheater too.

[MontanaMama]

Kept thinking Kennedy too - but wouldn't a Kennedy consider cheating a birthright instead of hereditary? What about the Guvinator and Maria Shriver (Kennedy)? Their marriage is pretty solid - oh wait, he paid off a bunch of the ladies during his run.

Since I appear to be babble happy - if its an eastcoast Kennedy, could the actress by someone like Claire Danes?

[LynnieD]

I don't know why.....but Sharon Stone popped in my head as the actress. She keeps a low profile, isn't dating anyone, adopted a bunch of kids (like Angelina) and does a lot of charity work....

[Giselle]

She does mention Barack Obama in the Brody Jenner/Chace Crawford post out of nothing though, really got me thinking.

This one is so juicy, think i'd almost kill to know who this is.

[Sasha]

A man who comes from a legendary family.

Barack Obama does not qualify.

I would be willing to bet good money most of the Kennedy's have "security details" especially the men, for obvious reasons. RFK Jr. most definitely has a wholsesome reputation in spite of the "legendary" infidelities of his father Robert Kennedy and his uncle John F. Kennedy. The other day I was doing an image search and came across a pic of him with Liz Claiborne (before she died of course ) at some event or other, so he travels in celeb circles quite comfortably.
