Megan Marshack, the former deputy press secretary to Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, passed away at the age of 70 in California earlier this month. She was famously present when Rockefeller died of a heart attack in 1979, sparking rumors of a possible affair between the two. Despite ongoing speculation, Marshack remained silent on the matter until her death.
In an obituary she wrote herself, Marshack focused on her career in journalism, mentioning her time working with Rockefeller but not addressing the rumors of a romantic relationship. After Rockefeller’s passing, she returned to journalism, working for CBS News and a local newspaper where she met her late husband.
Throughout her life, Marshack maintained a sense of honor and loyalty by never revealing any details of her time with Rockefeller, honoring a non-disclosure agreement she signed with his family. Friends and family say she carried her secret to her grave, unwilling to share details that could be twisted into cruel jokes.
While Marshack’s obituary doesn’t directly address her connection to Rockefeller, a quote from the musical “A Chorus Line” included at the end has prompted further speculation. Despite decades of intrigue and curiosity, it seems that the true nature of Marshack’s relationship with Rockefeller will remain an eternal mystery.
