Extra-Marital Affairs
Palme and American actress Shirley MacLaine were lovers for several years during Palme's years as a prime minister, with Palme all the while entertaining many other affairs, among others with a wealthy communist woman, according to McClaine (who has also claimed her visions have told her that Olof Palme was a reincarnation of Charlemagne). Palme was also one of several top-ranking politicians whose name occurred in the registers of brothel madam Doris Hopp (a political scandal known in Sweden as and the) and named several years later by one of the call girls, though no other evidence was ever presented. Call Girl, a Swedish film released to much controversy in 2012, depict a somewhat fictionalized Palme's (though the prime minister in the film is never named as such) relationship with an under-age callgirl.

Famous quotes containing the word affairs:
“A man with your experience in affairs must have seen cause to appreciate the futility of opposition to the moral sentiment. However feeble the sufferer and however great the oppressor, it is in the nature of things that the blow should recoil upon the aggressor. For God is in the sentiment, and it cannot be withstood.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
