Gennifer Flowers was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma USA. She started early on the celeb trail, appearing professionally as a singer at the age of five, and cut her first record at the age of eleven for United Southern Artists. However she apparently never made the sales breakthrough, and after finishing her education at Arkansas University, she began working as a news reporter for KARK-TV in Little Rock, Arkansas (
all the while, continuing as a cabaret singer).
She moved away from Arkansas, and pursued a varied career trying to get the fame breakthrough, including films, where her first movie role was in '
Frenchman's Farm' (under the name Jennifer Flowers) in 1987. However her attempts to make it in show business seem to have not worked out, and she returned to Arkansas, where she eventually took up employment as an administrative assistant for the Arkansas Appeal Tribunal.
However, when she returned to the national limelight in the early 1990's, she made a further assault on showbiz with another
3 film appearances, plus a number of TV and documentary appearances. She also appeared on a number of talk shows on foreign TV channels, such as the '
Frank Skinner Christmas Show' on Britain's BBC1.
She then appeared as herself in the 2000 feature '
Play It to the Bone', and she married a stockbroker with whom she opened and ran a cabaret in the French Quarter of New Orleans, called 'Gennifer Flowers Kelsto Club'. She made her NY theatre debut in 2004, acting briefly as a replacement in the Off-Broadway hit '
Boobs! The Musical'.
Unfortunately her cabaret club was closed following Hurricane Katrina, and she is now a jazz and blues cabaret performer. As of 2007, she was living in Las Vegas, Nevada, where she occasionally writes a column and still performs. She recently pitched for a
reality TV show based on the “
Real Housewives” series, noting that she is always looking for romance and “
tends to date men about 20 years younger”.
Oops:
Her Oops made
headlines around the world .... in 1977 while a local TV reporter she met, and began a
sexual relationship that lasted for twelve years with the then Governor of Arkansas, and later President of the USA,
Bill Clinton. The affair was broken when she left the state, but resumed upon her return and while she was actually employed by the state of Arkansas. The story broke during Bill Clinton's 1992 Presidential election campaign and after initially denying it, she then said it was true. '
Slick Willy' did his usual and denied all, but she played tape recordings she had secretly made of phone calls with Clinton on TV, and the cat was out of the bag. However he only
admitted the sexual side of the affair in his presidential deposition of January 1998.
She cashed in on the publicity when
she posed nude for P*nthouse magazine and was featured in the December 1992 issue, along with her story "
Gennifer Flowers Tells All, Shows All". In 1998, Flowers admitted that she had made a
total net profit of $500,000 by publicizing her alleged affair with Clinton to 'P*nthouse', 'Star Magazine' and other news sources.
In mid-2008, she and Paula Jones (
who was another Clinton conquest), made headlines again when they launched an unusual '
Internet venture', in which they offered video clips of their stories and thoughts about ex Pres. Clinton ....
for a fee of course

Pictures:
Surprisingly, no thread or major posts in mens magazine threads .... so as usual a number of illustrative pics (
inc one for Paula Jones, her latest business partner), but can I as usual request that any biographical follow ups to a suitable thread or posting .... more nudes are acceptable here
Couldn't find anymore nudes ...... it must have been a very small photo set.
