“Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau brought ‘Trudeaumania’ to America,” the Associated Press proclaimed late last week, “and the verdict was a resounding thumbs-up.” Make that two thumbs-up, since that term of hormonal hysteria was coined for his late father nearly a half century ago {note the female fingers straining for his pelvis, above}.
“It’s impossible to think much about PIERRE TRUDEAU without thinking about sex,” the New Republic reflected when his son won the position Papa held for 15 years from 1968-1984 {with one year out of office following his wife’s wardrobe malfunction 11 days before the election}. “Both Pierre and Margaret Trudeau were promiscuous,” ranted right-wing critic Ezra Levant last October. “Justin Trudeau’s father banged anything. He was a slut. Mom didn’t wear panties.” And let’s not forget that she also blew Geraldo Rivera in a rowboat—wonder if Pierre got ‘lucky’ lip service as well?
“Trudeau’s first election campaign was truly a love affair with Canada,” observes the Globe and Mail paper. Suddenly politics came alive, glamorous—and mattered. The youth responded with Trudeaumania—Pierre had to flee a gaggle of girls reminiscent of the Beatles’ hordes on just his third day in office…while son Justin had a tattooed, thonged blonde leap into his arms during the Vancouver Pride parade (two others followed).
The ‘Dreamy Trudeau’ sweaters depicting Justin riding a horse “sold out within days” before Christmas, prompting this recollection from historian Stephen Marche: “‘Dreamy Trudeau is highly reminiscent of an iconic image from the first Trudeaumania. A young woman, shot from below, displays the message ‘P.E.T. or Bust’ on her chest {P.E.T. being the initials of candidate Pierre Elliott Trudeau}. Trudeaumania coincided neatly with the Sexual Revolution—with its gentle hint at ‘petting’ and the antiquated reference to ‘bust’.”
Sleuth has learned that the busty brunette sweater girl was coed Enid ‘Fergie’ Ferguson—whose “untethered breasts,” in the words of one journalist, “made the whole country go nuts, wondering ‘Who’s that girl?’ Trudeau smiled when he was handed the paper the next day.” A bit of a sleuth himself, Pierre hunted up Enid 15 years later and invited her to his house for a chat: “Post-interview, she repeatedly turned down his offer of a sauna, but did say yes to sharing a joint with him.” Trudeau was 68 at the time.
“He flirted continuously and outrageously,” says biographer John English, “and seemed to enjoy flaunting his attractiveness in the presence of women. At one point, Trudeau confided to wife Margaret that he’d had two of his mistresses—blonde guitarist Liona Boyd and an unnamed chanteuse—perform at a reception.” And when Maggie “came across a pile of racy photographs in his desk drawer,” Barbra Streisand’s was on top. “Are you rating us?” she asked. “Maybe,” he replied.
“The swinging bachelor with the Mercedes, the rose in his lapel, Barbara Streisand—Trudeau obviously engaged our sexual interests,” declares the New Republic. He actually dated for Babs for a year (from 1969-70)—during which time he reportedly proposed and she turned him down—before he married Margaret in March 1971. “It all flowed through him so naturally,” Streisand said 6 years after her lover’s death in 2000. “He was everything my imagination promised and more. I was fascinated by him—physical, loving…that great combination of mind and body. I’m very proud to have been a part of his life.”
Enter Margaret Sinclair…or vice versa…who was 22 when they wed, and said her 52-year-old groom “has the body of a 25-year-old.” She still had a bod at 61 (above right), but never found Mr. Right after leaving Trudeau: “I’m always trying to find someone better than Pierre,” she lamented, “but I keep failing.”
Speaking of which, 60 Minutes—the most popular and respected news show of all time—had an “epic fail” on the eve of Justin Trudeau’s visit to America last week and showed a photo of “his mother” … Kim Cattrall!
“I have a son who is the Prime Minister of Canada?” the Sex and the City actress tweeted that night (above). “I couldn’t b more proud.” It was an honest mistake—she’d had an affair with the not-yet-divorced Trudeau in 1981—alas, a decade after Justin was conceived but around the time she first posed topless as a starlet (below).
“He was incredibly sexy,” Cattrall cooed after they cooled…as was she—still able to pose topless at age 48 in this unpublished outtake (below) that even Maggie admires! “I want to thank my mother, I have my mother’s boobs,” Kim confided just 8 weeks ago. ‘I sort of thought I did, but had never seen my mum naked [until recently], and she said ‘Yes!’ and they were still looking pretty damn good for 80.” The actress admits she “never had an ample bosom, rather “smaller but compact” breasts.
Perhaps what confused 60 Minutes—other than “all those Canadians look alike,” as one Canuck quipped—was that Kim has followed Margaret Trudeau’s path by revealing she ‘rarely wears” panties and urging other women to likewise go commando: “My ultimate fashion advice is that it’s a proven fact that if you don’t wear underwear it’s more ventilation and that’s maybe healthier.” The fur flew when Maggie went without…yet much less buzz when Kimmie showed fuzz!
Speaking of fuzz, a magazine called The Beaver (published by the National History Society in Winnipeg) created controversy by naming Pierre Trudeau “The Worst Canadian Ever” in a 2007 poll. He even managed to beat out serial killer Karla Homolka—convicted of helping husband Paul Bernardo rape and kill three women, including Karla’s own sister! Paroled in 2005 after 12 years in prison, Homolka remains in hiding…but Sleuth found these pre-crime pics of her to help with the search.
Sleuth has also been able to identify the “unknown chanteuse” who sang at a state reception with a fellow mistress of Trudeau’s…right under Maggie’s nose: It appears to have been none other than ‘Canadian sweetheart’ Gale Garnett—whose folk ballad “We’ll Sing in the Sunshine” won the Grammy Award in 1965!
Gale dated Pierre “off and on” (and often) while he was married to Margaret…then reconnected when he attended the premiere of her 1980 film Tribute, with Jack Lemmon: “There was simply nothing leering or prurient in the man,” Garnett says of Lemmon. “So he could tell you that if you raise your arms (in my nurse scene, which had a topless moment) it was ‘better for camera re: lungwarts.’ Lungwarts? In principle, this is a not-attractive way to speak of one’s breasts. When Jack said it, it was creative, non-licentious, funny.”
Yet it was pure lust when actress Margot Kidder accompanied Trudeau to the Reagan White House in 1983 and announced that she was “head over heels in love with him” at the height of her Lois Lane fame in Superman. “It tickled the ego to be ushered into 24 Sussex [the Prime Minister’s residence] as if you belonged there,” Kidder confessed ... “minutes, no doubt after another lady had been ushered out, but you didn’t know until years later when you began comparing notes.” At that time, few could compare to curvaceous Kidder…
“Trudeau was fortunate to conduct his love life in an era when the private lives of politicians were (by mutual consent) more off limits to the media than they are now,” notes The Globe and Mail. “His affairs would draw a lot more scrutiny today.” Until, as the saying goes, he “shat where he ate”—carrying on openly with his press secretary Suzanne Perry—a nubile blonde he appointed to “the highest position of its kind ever held by a woman in Canadian history up to then.”
“I know what my responsibilities and duties are,” Perry proclaimed when asked about their rumored romance. “My private life has always been very private, and I am so protective of it.” But those who were protective of the Prime Minister were worried: “I don’t like what will happen when this story breaks,” whispered a member of his private staff—when candids of Pierre’s press secretary tanning topless on the French Riviera back in 1976 surfaced. “I don’t think he can survive another scandal.” He didn’t…she resigned in 1982, he 2 years later.
But that wasn’t the last we’d hear of his aide: the baby boy that the former Suzanne Langford gave birth to in August 1969…
…grew up to be Matthew Langford Perry, star of Friends, and still close to his still-foxy mom.
Matthew’s mom and dad “divorced before his first birthday”—with dad John Bennett Perry getting the gig the next year as the Irish Spring soap spokesman {‘A manly scent, but I like it too,’ coos his companion}. Many sites—including Wikipedia and IMDb--say Perry’s father was “the sailor in the Old Spice commercials,” but he looks more long-jawed than the longshoreman…a fact Matthew confirmed to Sleuth when they met on the red carpet of the Grammys in 2004!
And your ‘Famous Shamus’ was also able to accurately recognize the young blonde with the fake Irish accent in the late ’70s soap ad with Perry’s father…none other than sexy Cindy Morgan of Caddyshack and Tron fame!
So what became of Matt’s mom, and Pierre’s press paramour, Suzanne? Right after resigning from her position under Trudeau, she married Canada A.M. host Keith Morrison—today the insinuating, insipid murder maven on Dateline NBC: they now have 4 children and recently celebrated their 34th wedding anniversary, so there’s no looking back.
Oh, and Sue’s son Matthew Perry? It was announced today that he’ll portray Teddy Kennedy in the upcoming miniseries After Camelot. That means he’s playing the adulterous lover of the wife of the boss of his mother—who was also the Prime Minister’s mistress. Talk about ‘Six Degrees of Canadian bacon!'
