    Bobby Is Last Role for Famed Ambassador Hotel

    The writer-director of the film Bobby is Emelio Estevez, who says he was trying to capture the spirit of change and promise that was cut short when Robert Kennedy was assassinated June 5, 1968. Estevez was allowed to shoot several scenes in the Ambassador Hotel after the wrecking ball was already doing its work.
