AceShowbiz - Caroline Kennedy reacted with laughter to her depiction in the FX series Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, according to her son, Jack Schlossberg. The show, created by Ryan Murphy, dramatizes the romance and tragic death of her brother, John F. Kennedy Jr.
Jack Schlossberg shared on the podcast Next Question with Katie Couric that he showed his mother a clip featuring Grace Gummer’s portrayal of her. He said, “We were laughing so hard,” describing how the actress’s frantic performance felt exaggerated compared to his mother’s real demeanor. Schlossberg remarked that the scene was amusingly over-the-top, noting that the way Gummer was “freaking out” didn’t match how his mother actually behaves.
The first season of Love Story recently concluded, and it has drawn attention for its representation of the Kennedy family’s personal lives. While some viewers have debated the accuracy of the portrayals, this glimpse from Schlossberg offers an insider’s perspective on how the family views the dramatization. His comments suggest a lighthearted reception to Gummer’s interpretation of Caroline Kennedy, contrasting with the often serious tone of the series.
Jack Schlossberg has also publicly encouraged Ryan Murphy to reconsider certain depictions in the anthology, including concerns about the portrayal of John F. Kennedy Jr. in other installments. Nonetheless, the Kennedy family’s response to this particular role appears to be one of amusement rather than offense, highlighting the complexities involved in adapting real-life figures for television drama.
