Rosemary Wills does one head turn toward the TSBD. Here it is:

Point being?

Point being?

I was responding to your question: "at what point do you think Rosemary Willis started looking back towards the TSBD instead of at the limo"? by identifying the point at which she started looking back towards the TSBD instead of at the limo.

1) Why wasn't she looking at the limo in both of those frames?

2) What was she looking at in Z-148?

3) Why did she start turning her head away from the limo and towards the TSBD by Z-141?

at what point do you think Secret Service Agent Glen Bennett started leaning far to his right (in order to see around Ken O'Donnell) to see if JFK was okay?

Bennett was already sitting higher than Ken O'Donnell and would have had no difficulty seeing JFK over top of O'Donnell.  Bennett is in the right rear seat in the QM as seen in the Betzner photo at z186:

She appears to be looking toward her right up to z202.

2) What was she looking at in Z-148?

She was looking to her right which is where the President's car was.

3) Why did she start turning her head away from the limo and towards the TSBD by Z-141?

She didn't.  She is always looking  to her right until z202 when she does that major head turn to the rear.

Who was it, then, who was sitting on the passenger's side of the car and around Z-145 started leaning far to his right while continuing to look straight ahead?

Bennett is looking left in z145 but he is not leaning left any discernible amount. But he is a bit higher than Dave Powers (whose face appears to be blocked by the roof support bar and whose hair is just above it) and Emory Roberts in front of him.  He is not as high as Hickey on the left rear seat. O'Donnell was in the left jump seat.



If Hickey and Bennett were looking at the crowd they would have to be looking directly to the side or rear because the two agents on the running board blocked their view of the crowd in front.  The only way to see in front would be to lean out.  So if either Hickey or Bennett leans out it is to look forward.
