The Pacific Film Archive welcomes this opportunity to honor Daniel Mayer Selznick, a longtime supporter of the Archive. During his four-year tenure as President of the Louis B. Mayer Foundation, the Foundation in 1973 gave funds to create PFA's Public Service Media Program, and in 1982 offered a matching grant of $100,000 to create the first PFA endowment fund. Daniel Selznick is Executive Producer with Joel Glickman of Hoover vs. The Kennedys: The Second Civil War, a four-hour mini-series produced for The Operation Prime Time Network and scheduled to air on KTVU, Channel 2 later this month. Our benefit premiere of Hoover vs. The Kennedys is made possible by Sunrise Films Ltd., in association with Selznick/Glickman Productions. Mr. Selznick will introduce tonight's program. This potentially controversial docudrama examines a fascinating and disturbing aspect of the Kennedy years, the little known conflicts that developed within the Justice Department when Robert F. Kennedy was his brother's Attorney General and nominally FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover's superior. Hoover's obsessive concerns fueled the decade's most insidious campaigns, in particular that against the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., and through him, the entire Civil Rights movement. Hoover vs. The Kennedys reveals the degree to which Hoover's secret files gave him influence far beyond his position. The Kennedy brothers clashed with Hoover over any number of issues during these turbulent years. Most virulent were their battles over Civil Rights, organized crime, and the private issues that were of such interest to Hoover and at times gave him his only foothold in the Presidential door. Hoover vs. The Kennedys follows the Hoover reign through an eight-year period, from JFK's nomination to the Democratic ticket in 1960, through the Johnson years and the tragic assassinations that would mark the end of an era. Executive Producers Selznick and Glickman are longtime Kennedy scholars who previously teamed on the docudrama Blood Feud, concerning Robert F. Kennedy's conflicts with Teamster leader James Hoffa. Director Michael J. O'Herlihy's credits include the miniseries Backstairs at the White House. Hoover vs. The Kennedys: The Second Civil War stars Jack Warden as J. Edgar Hoover, Canadian actor Nicholas Campbell as Robert Kennedy, Robert Pine as John F. Kennedy, Richard Anderson as Lyndon B. Johnson, and introduces LeLand Gantt as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
