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:
“There are always those who are willing to surrender local self-government and turn over their affairs to some national authority in exchange for a payment of money out of the Federal Treasury. Whenever they find some abuse needs correction in their neighborhood, instead of applying the remedy themselves they seek to have a tribunal sent on from Washington to discharge their duties for them, regardless of the fact that in accepting such supervision they are bartering away their freedom.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
