Famous Spoilers Throughout History, Part 1
John Wilkes Booth
April 15, 1865. President Lincoln is relaxing and watching a performance of the hit comedy “Our American Cousin” by Tom Taylor. Adding insult to injury, John Wilkes Booth leans over and whispers the ending to the play into Lincoln’s ear before brutally assassinating him.
Robert Newman, Captain John Pulling and Thomas Bernard
Nearly 100 years before, April 18, 1775, at the Old North Church in Boston. Not content to just sit on the information about the arrival of the British, Robert Newman, Captain John Pulling and Thomas Bernard develop a now-famous signal to spoil their arrival for everyone in Charleston.
Cassandra
The most notorious spoiler of all time. Cassandra was even considered a curse of the God’s in some circles. She single-handedly spoiled the Trojan Horse, Agamemnon’s death and her own death. Fortunately for her friends and family, no one ever listened.
