3 unusual facts about Richard Paul Pavlick


Richard Paul Pavlick

Pavlick's enmity toward John F. Kennedy boiled over after the close of the 1960 U.S. Presidential election, in which Kennedy had defeated Republican Richard Nixon.

He was portrayed by actor Kent Broadhurst in the 1983 miniseries Kennedy, but his age is portrayed inaccurately as being 36, rather than his real age at the time 73.

On December 11, 1960 in Palm Beach, Florida, Pavlick positioned himself to carry out the assassination by blowing up Kennedy and himself with dynamite, but delayed the attempt because Kennedy was with his wife and children.
