What Were the Final Words JFK Heard Before He Was Assassinated? The coincidences and conspiracy theories — oh, the conspiracy theories — surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy have never been in short supply. But after 50 years of so many factoids and tidbits, there is little that compares to the last words JFK heard before fatal bullets in Dallas. Mr. President, you cant say Dallas doesnt love you, Nellie Connally, wife of Texas Gov. John Connally, told JFK as they rode in the motorcade through Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. Just seconds later, the shots rang out, and those words from the first lady of Texas would be the last ones the president heard... Dallas was a dangerous place... John F. Kennedy was warned, Dont go to Dallas, Killing Kennedy screenwriter Kelly Masterson shares in the exclusive Yahoo TV video. Lyndon Johnson had told JFK that Texas housewives had come out of their homes to spit at the vice president candidate during the 1960 campaign, and JFK had been told by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Adlai Stevenson that placard had been tossed at him earlier that year in Dallas... Danger seemed to be lurking for him in Dallas... Masterson continues. And yet … that day, Nov. 22, Dallas opened arms to him... The heartbreaking story will unfold in Killing Kennedy, National Geographic Channels movie adaptation of Bill OReilly and Martin Dugards book of the same name. Rob Lowe plays JFK, with Ginnifer Goodwin as Jackie Kennedy, Will Rathhaar as assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, and Michelle Trachtenberg as Oswalds wife, in the film, which covers everything from JFKs presidency to his relationship with brother and fellow politician Bobby to the assassination... In another exclusive Yahoo TV video interview, Lowe talks about the fast and furious production pace for the movie, which required him, on his first day of filming, to delve into JFKs back problems, the Bay of Pigs invasion and the death of his infant son. In a third exclusive video, Will Rathaar takes viewers on a tour of Oswalds Nov. 22 journey in Dallas, including a look inside the Dallas movie theater where Oswald hid out after killing JFK and the Texas School Book Depository where the killer stationed himself for the assassination. The gravity of this moment in time … is in the brick of this building, its in the pavement outside, its in the grass, its in the air... says Rathaar. You can feel it...
