Lynette Fromme

I wrote to Manson, and around the same time I wrote to...

Lynette Squeaky Fromm, who later gained her own brand of infamy when she attempted to assassinate President Ford.

But at the time, I knew she wasn't in custody.

She was living in Sacramento.

Yeah.

Tell me about that.

Tell me about the conversations you had with Lynette Squeaky and why you had to become concerned.

Yeah.

I'm scared.

It was Squeaky Fromme.

Oh, my God.

[laughs] Yes.

I think he's...

And then so I, I, I got in the shower 'cause I didn't like it.

[laughs] So you have now a naked Squeaky Fromme trying to seduce you.

Charlie Manson is standing there telling you you're breaking his rules-

1975, President Ford survives first assassination attempt.

There was a total of two, one of them by Squeaky Fromme from Charlie Manson's group.

Squeaky Fromme.

1977, US agrees to transfer Panama Canal to Panama, and I know-

Ooh

Five of the militants, all nine hostages, and a German police officer were killed in the following 24 hours.

In 1975, President Gerald Ford survived in an assassination attempt by Lynette Fromme, a disciple of Charles Manson in Sacramento, California.

In 1977, NASA launched Voyager 1 to study Jupiter, several of its moons, and later Saturn.

In 2012, the spacecraft became the first human-made object to leave the solar system.

And it wasn't hard to convince Spahn to allow them to do this.

Manson had Lynette Fromme, one of his girls, act as Spahn's eyes.

She, along with the other girls, serviced the old man sexually.

Because of the tiny squeal that Lynette would emit whenever Spawn pinched her thigh, she acquired the nickname Squeaky.

And I just, uh, found a, uh...

I just went to the Wikipedia page on attempted assassination of Gerald Ford in San Francisco by, uh, Sara Jane Moore, and it's, uh, pretty cra- before Squeaky Fromme tried to assassinate him, uh, shortly thereafter.

Sara Jane Moore had been evaluated by the Secret Service earlier in 1975, but agents had concluded that she posed no danger to the president.

Oops, got that one wrong, I guess.

That leading to the great SNL sketch-

... where Eddie Murphy played John David Stutz.

Yeah.

Here we are in East Harlem, and, you know, we're-- it's a collective, uh, she's a communist and she's using the communist, uh, rhetoric, and she is Waverly Near.

She does look like, uh, she could be the illegitimate daughter of Squeaky Fromme, uh, from the Manson family.

You know, Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme.

Uh, and, uh, Waverly Near, uh, standing there talking to a reporter, and they're like, "Well, you know, there are other businesses out there trying to make money." It went like this.
