Karyn Kupcinet: Chicago Sun-Times
built 615 days ago
[A] different way of connecting Kupcinet to the assassination is through her father, a columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times and a major celebrity in the Windy City. Irv Kupcinet knew Jack Ruby when Ruby lived in Chicago in the 1940s.(9) But nobody has connected Irv Kupcinet to Ruby in 1963, in spite of meticulous tracing of Ruby's contacts by the Warren Commission, the House Select Committee, and literally scores of private researchers. And if Ruby somehow did call Kupcinet in Chicago and share information about a forthcoming assassination, why would Kupcinet call his daughter in California and share that information with her?

In 1948 Kupcinet was given his own column for the Chicago Sun-Times. Over the years, his column was distributed to more than 100 newspapers around the world. In 1952 Kupcinet became a television talk show host on CBS. Five years later he replaced Jack Parr on NBCs America After the Dark, which eventually became The Tonight Show. He ... appeared in two movies produced by Otto Preminger, Anatomy of a Murder (1959) and Advise and Consent (1962). His daughter, Karyn Kupcinet, became an actress and appeared in The Ladies' Man (1961).

At the funeral, Kup's grandson David Kupcinet remembered the following words that Kup once told him when David was leaving left town on vacation. Today, these words echo with David and with all of Chicago: "It's a lonesome old town when you're not around."
