I don't think you would commonly hear of non-famous friends, especially in the days before social media. She was very close to Carole Radziwill, who was married to Anthony, John's terminally ill cousin. John and Carolyn would have helped Carole in the aftermath of Anthony's death, and instead Carole and Anthony attended their memorial service weeks before he died. That always stuck with me- how John ended up dying before his cousin.

I don't get it. Carolyn famously had very dimensional, expensive- looking blonde hair. They dyed this actress's hair all one tone. And when she wears it down, it doesn't look healthy at all. Granted it took time for Carolyn to reach her desired shade of blonde, and I'm she they bleached this actress in one or two terrible sessions. But if this series is to be taken seriously at all, they would need to get the hair right. It was one of her trademarks.

Vent over.

His grandfather Bouvier was VERY handsome as a young man. A drunk, of course he quickly lost his good looks. There is a resemblance.

"Black Jack"? Yes, also has the dark handsome good looks.

By the time she finally arrived, it was dark already. They should have just skipped the dinner and waited until the next day to fly to the wedding but he thought they could still arrive in time for dinner even though he had not yet achieved the level of flying by instrument panel. There is no horizon in the darkness. They probably had no idea that they were heading into the water.
Both parties were daft. This is why his mother prohibited him from pursuing flying small aircrafts while she was alive. She understood something about his lack of judgement.

Not believing this for one second. This does not sound like something she would do AT ALL.

She was apparently late to her own wedding. Very late.

She apparently had trouble getting her dress on (no fastenings) and it was very stressful. Talk about pressure.

2 hours late due to fastenings?

Most pilots in training don't take that risk. The problem is he did.

Gotcha, so it's not very common. What a terrible senseless accident. Just thinking of him - still on crutches - getting his plane ready and declining the help of a flight instructor gives me the chills. I know you can't stop people when it's a judgment call but I wonder if anyone would have spoken up more bluntly if he weren't a Kennedy.
