Abstract

The article focuses on the reaction of Ruth Friendly, wife of CBS newsman Fred, to the portrayal of director and co-writer of the screenplay George Clooney as her late husband in the film "Good Night and Good Luck." Fred resigned from CBS after the network preferred to air a repeat of a program rather than live coverage of the hearings on the role of the U.S. in Vietnam War. Clooney yielded to Friendly when she said that her husband never smoked. The family of Fred appreciate Clooney's portrayal of the newsman.
