"The character 'Daryl Hannah' portrayed in the series is not even a remotely accurate representation of my life, my conduct or my relationship with John. A lot of people are being introduced to the story for the first time, and I think it's fair if they're assuming that the information they're being presented is to be taken at face value."
"Given how much we're rooting for John and Carolyn, Daryl Hannah occupies a space where she's an adversary to what you want narratively in the story. Isn't it textbook misogyny to tear down one woman in order to build up another?"
"It has [Hannah] coming off as, frankly, annoying, self-centered, even insensitive during some really difficult moments in JFK Jr.'s life, and based on what she's saying, a lot of this is completely inaccurate."
Daryl Hannah has published an op-ed in the New York Times challenging her portrayal in the FX miniseries 'Love Story,' which depicts her as a drug-using, irritating girlfriend of JFK Jr. Hannah states the character representation is not remotely accurate to her life, conduct, or relationship with Kennedy. Producers acknowledged taking liberties with reality, positioning Hannah as a narrative adversary to the central couple. Hannah criticizes this approach as textbook misogyny, questioning why one woman must be torn down to build up another. The miniseries chronicles JFK Jr.'s romance with Carolyn Bessette and their tragic deaths. Hannah emphasizes that viewers may assume presented information is factual, making the inaccurate portrayal particularly problematic.
