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:
“I repeat that in this sense the most splendid court in Christendom is provincial, having authority to consult about Transalpine interests only, and not the affairs of Rome. A prætor or proconsul would suffice to settle the questions which absorb the attention of the English Parliament and the American Congress.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
