Photograph from the set of Oliver Stone's "JFK" in Dealey Plaza
Photograph taken by Dallas resident Lovita Irby during the filming of Oliver Stone's movie "JFK" in Dealey Plaza. The image shows actors portraying assassination eyewitnesses reacting to shots fired at the president. Actors can be seen on the grassy verge on the north side of Elm Street, watching the replica presidential limousine as it moves toward the triple underpass. Oliver Stone, in agreement with the city of Dallas, had temporary signs made and installed in Dealey Plaza to return the scene to its 1963 appearance - an example of this can be seen in the Stemmons Freeway sign to the left of center in this picture.

As a teenager in 1963, Dallas resident Lovita Irby was near the corner of Elm and Houston Streets at the time of the Kennedy assassination. In 1991, she was one of several historical consultants to filmmaker Oliver Stone during the Dallas production of the Warner Brothers film, JFK. Irby extensively photographed the Dallas production and donated many of her images to The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza in 2005. Some of the replica street signage installed in Dealey Plaza during the filming of Oliver Stone's JFK are now part of the collections of The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
