- Former President Harland Sanders (R-KY) visiting post-Soviet Russia to promote goodwill and friendly relations between Russia and the US in 1987. It should be noted that Secret Service agents are out of frame in this picture with the Colonel's wheelchair on standby, should the elderly former President have difficulty standing.

Colonel Sanders only cameoed in 4 films IOTL, and I just found out that one of them, the Phynx, was finally uploaded to YouTube a few months ago.
He doesn't appear until the 1:12:08 mark and then leaves at the 1:13:14 mark. He shows up again at the 1:16:18 mark but doesn't have any lines and is pretty much just a part of a crowd of other celebrities for the next 4 minutes. He shows up one last time - hiding in a radish carriage with other cameos - from the 1:23:21 mark to the 1:23:26 mark. This movie isn't mentioned in the KFP TL because I figured they wouldn't be able to get the sitting President to appear in a movie about the federal government creating a fake boy band as part of a plan to liberate kidnapped celebrities from communist Albania.
