John Wilkes Booth was allowed to enter President Lincoln's theater box by the doorkeeper, who was likely distracted and unaware of Booth's intentions. Booth was a well-known actor and had connections in the theater, which facilitated his access. He entered the box during a performance of "Our American Cousin" on April 14, 1865, ultimately assassinating Lincoln.
