[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daryl Hannah was actually raised in considerably more wealth than JFK, Jr. or Carolyn Bessette. Darryl's stepfather is Jerrold Wexler, who was a billionaire businessman in Chicago that made a massive fortune in real estate.

The rumor at the time was that Jackie hated Daryl Hannah.[/quote]

Darryl Hannah is interesting because I think she really didn't need JFK, Jr. She was an A-Lister (Splash had already come out), she had her own activist causes, and she also grew up extremely wealthy. She wasn't someone who was interested in social climbing, she was born rich and was a big star in her own right.

Both Darryl's biological father (who owned a shipping/boat company) and her stepfather (real estate tycoon) were educated and wealthy, though her stepfather was even more wealthy.

The show portrays her as incredibly needy, narcissistic, shallow, and kind of stupid. No idea if that's realistic or not, but it's a brutal depiction. Watching it, I could not wait for John to dump her because I found her so grating.

All the Daryl stuff around Jackie's funeral was really obnoxious to watch. Daryl showing up uninvited and telling John that the public "needed" to see them together, and then coming out on the balcony with him (again uninvited) and grabbing his hand when it was clear he didn't want to? I hope these are made up details they added to try and make John and Carolyn's relationship feel more destined and inevitable than it was. Though in that case, they really did Daryl Hannah dirty! She's still alive! I bet Johns' other exes were happy not to show up in this thing.[/quote]
She wrote a letter to the editor of the NY Times disputing her portrayal as fictional and damaging: [url]https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/06/opinion/daryl-hannah-love-story-jfk-jr.html[/url][/quote]
