[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daryl Hannah has an opinion piece in NYT today responding to Love Story. Worth a read [/quote]
Burying the lede. Basically Daryl says the show was absolute trash and not an accurate portrayal at all. She finds it incredibly disrespectful and harmful that they portrayed her as doing Coke off a Kennedy family heirloom. She claims 1 she’s never done Coke and 2 she would never desecrate an heirloom like that.  [/quote]

I'm glad she's sticking up for herself because the show definitely does her dirty. And I would say that was true even if she had done Coke and desecrated a Kennedy family heirloom (I don't really care about Kennedy family heirlooms). They portray her as some kind of weird succubus who everyone, including JFK Jr., seemed to hate but who kept coming around anyway to torment them. It's really ridiculous. They dated for a while, he obviously cared about her. The just needed a villain for the show.

But I also wasn't watching the show like it's a documentary either. It's Ryan Murphy (or I guess Ryan Murphy adjacent). It's always heavily editorialized and amped up for drama. It think this show is only so-so, largely because the material is nowhere near as interesting as like the OJ trial or Truman Capote's ridiculous friendship with a group of socialites. The most interesting and dramatic thing about JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette was, sadly, the way they died. I don't even like the Kardashians, at all, and I've seen episodes of their reality show at the gym that have more drama than this entire series (other than, again, their tragic and untimely deaths, which have not yet occurred).[/quote]
