Cast included Richard Basehart as the narrator, Joseph Leisch Jr. as the prez, and Robert Leonard as John Wilkes Booth. Other notables: Jill Eikenberry and Michael Tucker, Robert Prosky, and Richard Sanders!
There is no truth to the rumor that CBS planned a similar special but axed it as part of the "Rural Purge" because Lincoln was too much of a hick, replacing it with specials about FDR, JFK, and Teddy Roosevelt.
