Interviews From Earth One: “Helen O’Donnell”

Written by Bob Cesca

On today's episode of The Bob Cesca Show's Interviews From Earth One: Helen O’Donnell is an accomplished author and historian as well as the daughter of President Kennedy’s chief of staff Kenny O’Donnell -- you might recognize Kenny from Kevin Costner’s portrayal of him in the stellar film about the Cuban Missile Crisis, Thirteen Days.  Helen’s new book -- out now -- is called Launching LBJ: How A Kennedy Insider Helped Define Johnson's Presidency, culled from Kenny O’Donnell’s tapes and journals about the early days of the Johnson administration following Kennedy’s assassination.
