#1 Celebrity Birthday Person for May 15th is
Abraham Zapruder (Would have been 103) 1905 - Died age 65
Born 15 May 1905 - Kovel, Russia.
Date of death 30 August 1970 - Dallas, Texas.
(cancer)
The President of Jennifer Juniors, a manufacturer of ladies garments.
He was also the man who filmed the only known complete footage of the assassination
of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas on 22 November 1963.
The camera he used in the filming 'at age 58' was a mechanical,
spring-wound 8 millimeter Bell & Howell Model 414PD Zoomatic Director
with a Varamat 9-27mm f1.8 zoom lens, set for full close-up.
The film was Kodachrome II color stock running at 18.3 frames per second.
The footage runs only 26 seconds, which is remarkable since each winding
of the film's mainspring lasts only 30 seconds.
Just an ordinary person filming an extraordinary event.
Really the only case/evidence for a conspiracy.
JFK (1991) (assassination footage: JFK) (uncredited).
In the Line of Fire (1993) (assassination footage: JFK) (uncredited).
His JFK footage was valued at $16 million (£10 million) by an arbitration panel.
The US Government was ordered to pay the amount,
the equivalent to $615,384 (£384,615) per second,
to the heirs of Abraham Zapruder for taking his footage
into the National Archives, where it now resides.
It holds the Guiness record of the most expensive reel of film.
