It has been interesting to watch the different parts of The Kennedys miniseries over the last few nights. I have also watched a few of the behind the scenes shows, and I am absolutely interested and intrigued. It definitely doesn't have a place on the History channel, but it is very entertaining television. Tonight is the finale in 2 parts.
In the first part, Marilyn Monroe will be singing "Happy Birthday, Mr. President!" in a handmade crystal dress that she can barely walk in. Also, by the end of Part 1 JFK will be shot. I have been impressed that the "television" coverage has been recreated except for some of the real people that they decided not to cast - Walter Cronkite. I am curious, though, to see if they show him actually being shot or if they cut away or try to piece together real footage.
In part 2, the finale, there will be the grieving for JFK and much more. The finale will go up to Bobby being shot and Jackie being proposed to by Onassis. I am riveted and can't wait to see how they finish this. I hope some of you have been watching, I would love to hear your take on the entertainment behind The Kennedys.

Was the Marilyn singing Happy Birthday to JFK scene deleted?
ReplyDeleteI guess so. I saw a few of the behind-the-scenes and they kept showing it. I am really disappointed, the dress was spectacular. What a shame!
