Peter Lawford might not be the best-known member of the Rat Pack, but he certainly was an important member of the elite group. He is sometimes referred to as the "Man Who Kept The Secrets" due to his secretive efforts to connect Marilyn Monroe and his brother-in-law JFK. Throughout Monroe and Kennedy's alleged affair, Lawford supposedly acted as a liaison for the President. Some theorists even suggest that Lawford was somehow involved in Monroe's death. While that might sound a bit conspiratorial, it is known that Lawford had quite a few Mafia buddies who wanted nothing more than to see the blonde bombshell put into a shallow grave.
You probably remember Peter Lawford as a handsome and charismatic film star. But besides Ocean 11, can you think of a single film that he appeared in? After joining the Rat Pack, Lawford's movie career pretty much stalled. Even so, he did appear in quite a few decent films including Little Women, Exodus, It Should Happen To You, and Advise and Consent. Because of his Kennedy ties, Lawford also enjoyed quite a bit of political pull. After JFK's assassination, however, all of that would dissipate rapidly.
Lawford pretty much exclusively worked as a supporting actor and never really got a chance to be a lead in any of these films. That's not to say that he wasn't a noteworthy actor, but if he hadn't been a member of the Rat Pack or had those connections to JFK, he likely would be all but forgotten today. And really, hasn't he anyway? It's not as if the name Peter Lawford is something that you hear every day.
