Kennedy, a former candidate for President of the United States, on June 6, 1968. Bobby is set for limited release (New York and Los Angeles) on November 17, 2006, and in wide release on November 23, a day after the 43rd anniversary of the assassination Robert's brother. It premiered at the Venice Film Festival, where it received a seven minute standing ovation. Anthony Hopkins stars as the retired but ever-present doorman at The Ambassador Hotel. Lindsay Lohan and Elijah Wood appear as a couple who get engaged so that Wood's character can avoid being sent to the front lines in the Vietnam War.

Macy), who works alongside a chef (Laurence Fishburne), busboy (Freddy Rodriguez), phone operators (Heather Graham and Joy Bryant) and a food and beverage manager (Christian Slater). Helen Hunt and Martin Sheen (Estevez's father in real life), portray married socialites staying at the hotel. Joshua Jackson, Nick Cannon and Shia LaBeouf play Kennedy volunteers, and Harry Belafonte rounds out the star ensemble as the ex-doorman's retired friend.
