Frozen Camelot
The Incredible Story of JFK’S Secret Double
For sixty years, the perceived elegance and idealism of the Kennedy presidency has come to be known as the Era of Camelot. Like the fabled reference to another time, "Frozen Camelot" is the incredible story of how a little-known actor, Lawrence Hinsdale, became JFK's presidential double. The double was originally used sparingly and for rare appearances, mostly to simply wave at crowds; but as time went on, Hinsdale's involvement progressed into a much more dynamic role. His ability to project a healthy version of JFK became ever more important as John Kennedy's health deteriorated. In the end, we are left with the essential question: who was assassinated on November 22nd, 1963? Was it the secret double or was it JFK?
Kenneth Diamond was born on March 22, 1964, four months after the assassination of John F Kennedy. Raised in Lakewood, Colorado, Kenneth studied history at the University of New Mexico before joining the Navy. Now retired, Kenneth writes historical fiction and is an accomplished oil painter. He currently resides in Placitas, New Mexico, and "Frozen Camelot" is his first novel.
