Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, Secretary of State Dean Rusk, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, Special Counsel to The President Ted Sorenson, National Security Advisor McGeorge Bundy, Special Counsel/Former Secretary of State Dean Acheson, Assistant Defense Secretary Paul Nitze, Joint Chief Chairman General Maxwell Taylor, Air Force Chief of Staff General Curtis LeMay, CIA Director John McCone, and Ambassador to The United Nations Adlai Stevenson. If you have seen the movie Thirteen Days you will be lead to believe that Kevin Costner's character Kenny O'Donnell played probably the most important role in Kennedy's cabinet. This is a Hollywood liberty. O'Donnell was a close friend of the Kennedy brothers and was Kennedy's Appointment Secretary, however according to Robert McNamara he had nothing to do with the crisis as was portrayed in the movie. His character was simply used in the movie to bring all of the main players together.
