Beyond 3 fact and fiction
"Umbrella man"
Was the Umbrella man actually there, and if he was did the Secret Service actually take into consideration that he was signaling the shooter that Kennedy wasnt dead yet as alleged in the movie.
I found that he wasnt added for the movie, he is in the actuall Zapruter film and that the House Select Committee interviewed him after the asassination. They asked him if he was signaling to the assassin or assassins that Kennedy was hit or to them to fire on the president. His actual name is Louie Steven Witt and he said no it was supposed to symblize a sign of disrespect toward the family going back to when senior Mr. Kenedy was an ambasidor in England. he just said he was at the wrong place at the wrong time he was never charged.
