In Spalding Gray's monologue ' Swimming to Cambodia' - his recollections of filming ' The Killing Fields' - he mentions John Gunther Dean being on set during the filming of the final evacuation of the US embassy in Saigon. He was there, explains Gray, to watch himself being played by an actor, running to one of the evacuation helicopters carrying the embassy's flag, wrapped in plastic for protection. He also quotes Dean describing the political background to the evacuation.
If this happened as described, it places Dean in the centre of a significant geopolitical event, and deserves mention IMHO. -- Cdavis999 ( talk) 10:16, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
One of the most notable facts about Dean is missing- that he was the target of an assassination attempt, thought to be ordered by Israel (iirc, maybe wrong, but I think that's Dean's own view.). Took a look at this article because I saw it mentioned in this article I was looking at for another purpose. [1]. Should be a whole article on it in some back issue of WRMEA iirc, and other sources.
