Friend Elliot Mintz recalls the night John Lennon was murdered -- INTERVIEW

Elliot Mintz first came to national attention for his close ties to John Lennon and Yoko Ono throughout the 1970s and for his continued presence as a media consultant for Yoko following John’s murder. But before that, he was a college student who broke big news about Lee Harvey Oswald the day of the JFK assassination and went on to a storied career as a broadcast journalist and celebrity media consultant.

Key moments:

• 7:13 November 22, 1963, watching news reports of the Kennedy assassination when a Los Angeles County College classmate recognizes Lee Harvey Oswald, with whom he served in the Marines;

• 16:33 Interviewing Salvador Dali (accompanied by John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and Gala Dali);

• 42:43 Hearing of the assassination of his close friend, John Lennon, en route to The Dakota Building.
