Morris Bleckman
- Actor
Morris Bleckman was a news photographer for WBBM (CBS) in Chicago
during the late 1950's and 60's. During the riot at the 1968 Democratic
National Conventions, a protester threw a brick at him, shattering the
lens cover of his camera. This was a favorite story of his to tell, and
for years often carried the remains of the filter with him. Being
rather well known in Chicago, he was invited to tell this story during
the press photographer party scene in Medium Cool.
