Rob Lowe, Bill O'Reilly Chronicle Camelot At 'Killing Kennedy' Nat Geo World Premiere

NORTHWEST -- The assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22nd, 1963 served to unite a grieving nation and forever cemented the so-called 'Camelot' presidency in the minds of the world.

Still today, on the eve of the 50th anniversary of the event, the shooting continues to captivate the attention of a new generation of Americans. And in honor of the occasion, the National Geographic Channel will screen a new original, two-hour drama next month chronicling the buildup to the shocking murder.

'Killing Kennedy' stars Golden Globe and Emmy nominee Rob Lowe (President Kennedy) and Will Rothhaar (Lee Harvey Oswald), with Michelle Trachtenberg (Marina Oswald) and Ginnifer Goodwin (Jackie Kennedy).

Executive Producer Bill O'Reilly.
The film is based on the best-selling book by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard and traces the stories of both Kennedy and Oswald, from JFK's decision to run for President in 1959 to that fateful Friday in Dallas that forever changed the course of history.

Jack Noseworthy (Bobby Kennedy).
Seemingly the entire cast and crew of 'Killing Kennedy' was in Washington last night for the world premiere of the drama, which was appropriately hosted inside the headline-tracking walls of the glass-encased Newseum downtown.

Before walking the red carpet, guests were greeted at the door Monday evening by a '60s-styled news stand showcasing various iconic JFK and Lee Harvey Oswald magazine covers and newspaper front pages. That same news stand will set up shop at Union Station starting today, before moving on to New York City's Penn Station on November 5th, Herald Square on November 6th, and Columbus Circle on November 7th.

For those in attendance, the evening also afforded them the opportunity to check out the museum's exhibits surrounding the 35th President, which themselves made a splash when they were first unveiled back in April.

'Killing Kennedy' will be screened globally in 171 countries and 38 languages. It will premiere on the National Geographic Channel on Sunday, November 10th at 8:00p.m. ET/PT in the United States.
