Vivian Castleberry and Marina Oswald

Dallas broadcast journalist Eddie Barker was one of the first to announce the death of the president. He also later got an exclusive interview with Marina Oswald, the widow of Lee Harvey Oswald. In his 2006 book, Barker described the woman as “a cold, calculating woman, even at the tender age of twenty-two.” This insight was despite the fact that as a Russian citizen, she spoke little English.

Dallas Times Herald women’s page editor Vivian Castleberry also interviewed the widow who was the mother of two young children. They spoke while both folding diapers. The result became her only front page story. Vivian found Marina Oswald to be “warm, loving and friendly.” She noted this during the talk, “A Call for Action,” at the Sixth Floor Museum on August 8, 2006.
