The Dukebox Theatre Presents YOU ALL KNOW ME - I'M JACK RUBY! Tonight by BWW News Desk - May 07, 2013
Jack Ruby certainly killed Lee Harvey Oswald - twenty million witnesses watched as he gunned him down live on national television. The world was grieving for John Kennedy and the mysterious young man accused of his assassination had just been silenced by a local nightclub owner. None of it made any sense. For fifty years, commentators have attempted to solve the riddle and in piecing together the jigsaw puzzle of those events many have required Jack Ruby to be 'the Mafia's man in Dallas' - a blunt underworld weapon used to prevent Oswald from telling the truth. That piece would fit the puzzle. But does Jack Ruby fit the piece? (more...)

'The Will: Family Secrets Revealed' Gets a Facelift for Season Three, Featuring Celebrity Stories and Famous Family Feuds by BWW News Desk - Sep 12, 2012
And you thought celebrities led dramatic lives? Just wait until they die for the real drama to begin. THE WILL: FAMILY SECRETS REVEALED returns this October, featuring the outrageousness that abounds when the famous depart. With royalties and residuals up for grabs, celebrities leave behind a lot more than a mansion full of cash - they also have managers, mom-agers, mistresses, and family members who all want a piece of the pie. This new season runs the gamut in spotlighting superstars like Ritchie Valens, an up-and-comer who died young and will-less; Jerry Garcia, whose grateful heart promised too much to too many; and even child star Gary Coleman, who left behind a messy estate plan that pitted his ex-wife against his former best friend. In the premiere episode, THE WILL examines the estate of Tammy Wynette, the queen of country music. When her four daughters realized they had been denied their inheritance, they began questioning the events surrounding their mother's death, and launched a $50-million wrongful death lawsuit against their stepfather and their mother's physician. When the personalities are big but the pocketbooks are even bigger, now that's when things get really interesting. Season three of THE WILL: FAMILY SECRETS REVEALED premieres Thursday, October 18 at 9 PM (ET) on Investigation Discovery.
