Those Amazing Humans, #452, Dorothy Killgallen

Dorothy Killgallen was the classy, erudite, often witty and precise panelist on the popular game show, “What’s My Line” I think I was aware that she was a  syndicated columnist, had never read her work, and like a young chauvinist pig, supposed she was a society writer. Last night on Coast To Coast Radio, to commemorate the assassination of President JFK, host, George Noory, interviewed Mark Lane, the author of one of the earliest conspiracy books, “Rush To Judgement”. The interview turned to Ms. Killgallen and her own effort to bring truth to light about how the deal really went down in Dealey Plaza. Apparently she was a serious journalist indeed, and a friend of Jack Ruby. The information he imparted to her on a visit to Dallas the night of November 7th, 1965 was apparently serious enough news to get her disposed of, Marilyn Monroe style, before she could get it to the papers or TV.

When I googled for images of Dorothy Killgallen there were precious few, but this shot of Dorothy and Marilyn together caught my eye. It had to be photoshopped, didn’t it?

Marilyn and Dorothy Had Similar Fates..

From Wikipedia:Regarding the assassination, Kilgallen wrote, “That story isn’t going to die as long as there’s a real reporter alive, and there are a lot of them alive.

” She had a history of government criticism, suggesting in 1959 that the CIA recruited members of the Mafia to assassinate Fidel Castro (which many years later was proven to be the case). By the time of the assassination, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had been keeping a file on the “flighty and irresponsible” columnist (his words about her preserved in his own handwriting) for 25 years.

The FBI never determined who had given the columnist a transcript of Jack Ruby’s testimony to the Warren Commission. The agency abandoned, in September 1964, all attempts to identify this source. The attempts had included sending two FBI agents to her home, where Kilgallen told them she would not identify the source under any circumstances.
