Robert Kennedy and His Times miniseries on RFK life
A CBS miniseries titled Robert Kennedy and His Times begins with a two night, four hour debut detailing RFK as attorney general and senator. The program, based on Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. and featuring Brad Davis as Kennedy and G D Spradling as Johnson, is judged too gentle but uses Kennedy’s clashes with Johnson and King’s wiretap episode to frame his political path. Stephen Smith aids as script and casting consultant, while the piece notes limited family influence on the final product.
