It took decades for Hill to realise he did all he could, and it was still hard for him to watch the assassination recreated in the Oscar-nominated film Jackie. Hill, who is played by the Northern Irish actor David Caves, saw the movie at a festival premiere in Denver, Colorado, last year. Hill went everywhere with the First Lady for three years prior to Dallas, and served her for another year afterwards.
She and I had a wonderful relationship, very professional. We discussed many things. Natalie Portman is nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards on Sunday for her performance as Mrs Kennedy in Jackie , and Hill is probably better able to assess her portrayal of the First Lady during those dark days than anybody else alive. It would be great if she could win the Oscar. They invented that she drank heavily and she did not.
They had her coming to me and asking me a question about the assassination and she asked me what calibre gun it was — that never happened.
This frustration is a common feeling for Hill. And he does not trust any conspiracy theories. Hill went on to serve under Presidents Johnson, Nixon and Ford, but a promotion in landed him with a desk job which gave him extra time to contemplate his horrific experience.
That was very, very upsetting. I was surprised, shocked, and I went into a state of depression. I drank heavily as a way to sedate myself and be able to sleep, and that lasted for six years. And so I quit drinking, quit smoking, started to work out and I began to feel better. Paul schools plan proving to be a tough sell. Second-half burst leads Wolves to blowout victory over Lakers.

Former Secret Service Agent Clint Hill gave a first-hand account of the events that happened the day President Kennedy was assassinated. Kennedy on a trip to Texas. Unfortunately, in Dallas on November 22, , President Kennedy was shot while sitting next to Jackie, and the pink suit she was wearing became covered in her husband's blood.
In the aftermath of the presidential assassination, Jackie refused to change her outfit for the rest of the day. This created a powerful and devastating image for the public while also reflecting her personal trauma. On November 22, , Jackie was seated next to her husband in an open-top limousine driving through Dallas. She looked eye-catching in a pink suit though often described as Chanel, the suit was actually an authorized replica made in New York so Jackie wouldn't be criticized for shopping overseas.
Then shots were fired. One hit her husband's back and exited via his throat. Another tore through JFK's head. As Jackie grappled with what was happening, blood and gore seeped into her outfit. Jackie clutched her husband on the way to Parkland Memorial Hospital, attempting to tend to his mangled head. John's vice president, Lyndon B. Johnson , had been in a separate vehicle in the same procession, and he and wife Lady Bird proceeded to the hospital as well.
Lady Bird later described how she "saw, in the president's car, a bundle of pink, just like a drift of blossoms, lying on the back seat. I think it was Mrs. Kennedy, lying over the President's body. Though they were separated as doctors tried to save the president, Jackie quickly returned to her husband's side. She even kneeled on the blood-covered floor to pray.
However, given the severity of JFK's injuries, doctors soon stopped working on him.
