Claim of Affair With US President Bill Clinton
In 1992, rumors swirled that Gracen had an affair with Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton. At first, Gracen dismissed this claim. In Spring 1998 Gracen recanted her six-year-old denial and stated she had a one night stand with Clinton in 1982. After claiming this, Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr, who was investigating Clinton in the Paula Jones lawsuit, issued a subpoena to have her testify her claim in court. Gracen, however, eluded the subpoena and was at one point able to avoid it because Highlander: The Raven was being filmed out of the country. Paula Jones' legal team was also unable to track Gracen down because she had made unscheduled trips to Las Vegas and the Caribbean as well.
