The president she tried to assassinate has been dead for nearly three years, and her longtime idol and leader, Charles Manson, remains in prison.
However, Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme is about to get her first taste of real freedom in more than three decades.
According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Fromme, now 60, is set to be released on parole August 16.
Fromme is housed at the Federal Medical Center at Carswell, Texas.
For years, she was one of Manson's few remaining followers, as many other "Manson Family" members have shunned him. A prison spokeswoman would not say whether Fromme continues to correspond with Manson.
Fromme was convicted in 1975 of pointing a gun at then-President Gerald Ford in Sacramento, California. Secret Service agents prevented her from firing, but the gun was later found to have no bullet in the chamber, although it contained a clip of ammunition.

“Fromme was sentenced to life in prison, “
No more meaningful legal system...there are no laws...she tried to kill a US President...shit...
Californication can now elect her to the senate.
Will she be running on the Dimocratic party ticket??? She qualifies big time!
I say tit-for-tat, release Sirhan Sirhan.
Conjugal visits for Charlie in the near future!
Should NEVER be released.
If she had known how to load a semiautomatic, President Ford would have been killed that day in 1975.
I can’t imagine why she deserves to be released.
If I recall correctly, Fromme was 14 when she lived in the Manson commune. Charlie gave her to the old man that owned the place as rent and she had to live in a trailer with him.
Looks like O needed another Czar.
Reporter: “Ms Fromme, Ms Fromme..now that youre released .. What are your first words to America?”
Fromme: “Where’s the birth certificate?”

“Conjugal visits for Charlie in the near future!”
Very sick and probably very true...
This low life should remain behind bars until death!
I remember the SNL skit with Elaine Newman playing Fromme and Jane Curtain playing a news reporter.
‘Fromme’ would point the pistol at Jane and say “Die fascist swine” and pull the trigger to a “click” “click”; ‘Fromme’ would then look perplexed at the gun while Jane Curtain would continue with her questions.
HILARIOUS!!!
FADE IN on the caption DANGEROUS BUT INEPT against a blood-red background, then FADE to Jane Curtin on a talk show set with potted plants behind her. The caption lingers for a few seconds.]
Jane Curtin: Hi, Im Jane Curtin, and welcome to another edition of Dangerous but Inept. Our guest this week is Squeaky...
[CUT to Laraine Newman as Squeaky, decked in a flowing red dress and a red shawl around her head. She stares at the camera with a deranged look.]
Jane Curtin: Infamous for her alleged attempt on the Presidents life, and for her connection with the Manson family. Squeaky, welcome.
[Squeaky pulls a pistol out from under her dress and aims it at Janes stomach.]
Squeaky Fromme: Die, lackey pig!
[Squeaky pulls the trigger, but the gun snaps harmlessly. She glances down at it in dismay.]
Jane Curtin: [smoothly] One thing Im sure our viewers would be interested in knowing is just how you came to be called Squeaky. Is that a nickname Charlie gave you?
Squeaky Fromme: He isnt Charlie, hes the Holy Redeemer! Bourgeois hog-face. Meet your maker.
[Again, Squeaky points and shoots, but the trigger only clicks. She frowns and looks inside the chamber to see if its loaded.]
Jane Curtin: [nonplussed] Squeaky, you, uh, made an alleged attempt on the Presidents life in September...
Squeaky Fromme: [oblivious] Fawning fascist sycophant...
Jane Curtin: Now, what made you decide that you felt strongly enough to resort to the use of violence?
Squeaky Fromme: [over Jane] Make way for the TRUE revolution, you rat-dog.
[After Squeaky fires her empty pistol again, she cries pleadingly to the camera.]
Squeaky Fromme: So what if Charlies short?! Hes good, and hes kind, and he only kills what he eats!!
Jane Curtin: Join us again next week for another edition of Dangerous but Inept...
Squeaky Fromme: [checks gun] Scum! Toiling dreamer of the status quo! Eat lead!
Jane Curtin: ...for a chat with Sara Jane Moore. Good night.
[Squeakys empty pistol clicks again, then FADE to black over applause.]
Manson and his entire “family” should be gone.
Well, chambering a round is part of loading the gun properly...
