Judy was not overawed by celebrity, but was turned on by power figures. Whether it be powerful figures in the music industry, politics or the underworld. When she started dating Frank Sinatra, she almost adapted his lifestyle – drinking until dawn, partying – but what she didn’t adapt was Sinatra’s tendency to receive pleasure from more than one woman at a time, and paid women at that. Judy was mortified and refused to be Sinatra’s main unpaid attraction, but was still friends with the singer, as it was he who introduced her to JFK during his presidential campaign.
Judy was still a permanent fixture in Frank’s life, through her relationship with JFK as he allowed them to use his Palm Springs compound to conduct their affair when they pleased. However, she did return to Frank on occasion for affection. She says, "I kept coming back to Frank because there is something compellingly attractive about him that draws you like a magnet. I think that's why so many stick to him even when he grinds his heel into their very soul".
