Synopsis
Brad Davis offered up his Robert Kennedy interpretation in this three-part, seven-hour dramatization of Arthur Schlesinger Jr.'s biography. Davis followed in the acting footsteps of other Robert Kennedys over the years, like Martin Sheen (who later played brother Jack) in "The Missiles of October," Cotter Smith in "Blood Feud," John Shea in "Kennedy" and Cliff DeYoung (who, in this miniseries, played Jack) in "King," the film about Martin Luther King Jr. "Robert Kennedy and His Times," covering Kennedy's life from 1946, when he was campaigning for his older brother's Congressional race, to his assassination in 1968, won an Emmy Award nomination as Outstanding Limited Series. Another nomination went to hairstylist Lynda Gurasich for her work on Part 1.
