This is Amy Lumet, the California socialite daughter of filmmaker Sidney Lumet (and granddaughter of chanteuse Lena Horne!) As you might have noted, she is voluptuous! Three years ago she told the Village Voice she wanted to be in Playboy; she apparently used to model. We bring her up today because of some highly unsubstantiated internet rumors that she had an affair with John McCain during the Gulf War while she was married to cancer-stricken conservative pundit P.J. O'Rourke and O'Rourke was on assignment in the Middle East, where John McCain's wife was coincidentally consuming some of the aircraft carriers worth of Percocet she took to cope with the pain of her loveless marriage. We might wait for more evidence as to the veracity of such a rumor if the mere existence of Amy Lumet were not so fascinating in itself.
For instance, did you know…
* Amy Lumet was briefly of a fixture in Republican Washington social life in the late eighties.
* When she started dating O'Rourke, possibly while still in college at some unspecified school in New Hampshire.
* They married in late 1990 after living in sin for two and a half years, when O'Rourke was 43 and Lumet was 26.
* Because O'Rourke thought that if he died covering the Gulf War, it "would make everything simpler if we had been married. It seemed much simpler to be a widow than a girl with a dead boyfriend."
* In 1991 Lumet began working for John McCain in some unspecified capacity.
