ATWT Alums Recall Kennedy Shooting
In a story in the New York Times, AS THE WORLD TURNS's Don Hastings (ex-Bob), Eileen Fulton (ex-Lisa) and Rosemary Prinz (ex-Penny) offer a behind the scenes glimpse into what was happening on set when Walter Cronkite broke in during the broadcast of the soap to inform the viewers that President Kennedy had been shot on November 22, 1963. Prinz admits she wanted the show to later incorporate the historic event into the scripts, but Creator Irna Phillips said no. "She was the meanest bitch on the planet, and you can quote me," notes Prinz in the piece.
