Pamela Harrison Turnure Timmins (November 20, 1937 – April 25, 2023) was the first Press Secretary hired to serve a First Lady of the United States.

[citation needed] In her role as press secretary, Turnure was frequently present at diplomatic receptions and to receive foreign dignitaries.

[7] Turnure was aboard Air Force One at Love Field Airport as Lyndon B. Johnson took the oath of office two hours and eight minutes after the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas.

[9][10] After the assassination and funeral, Turnure left for New York and worked on President Kennedy's administrative papers, a project that was funded by Aristotle Onassis.

[13] In The Dark Side of Camelot published in 1997, author Seymour Hersh alleged that Kennedy had an extramarital affair with Turnure starting in 1958 when she was working in his Senate office and continuing long thereafter.

Kater and her husband allegedly rigged a tape recorder to pick up sounds of the couple's lovemaking and made an enlargement of their picture of Kennedy as he exited the building.
