Jones, the ’60s and ’70s heartthrob, was famous for his wild lifestyle and numerous affairs despite his 59-year marriage to Linda. One of his most notable relationships was with Marjorie Wallace, the first American to win Miss World. In 1974, while engaged to race car driver Peter Revson, Marjorie continued seeing Jones. Tragedy struck when Revson died in a crash, and Marjorie was left dealing with the aftermath.
Their affair became a scandal, with the press closely following Marjorie’s actions. She was stripped of her Miss World title for “failing to fulfill her duties,” though many speculated it was due to her involvement with Jones. Linda, Jones’s wife, endured years of infidelity, but he never left her. “She is the one I always come back to,” he once said. Their marriage, despite its struggles, lasted until Linda’s passing in 2016. Jones later admitted to regrets about his behavior, but his past remained a defining part of his legacy.
