"Each episode of FX's Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette begins with a disclaimer, noting that the show is inspired by actual events, but fictionalizes certain elements for "dramatic purposes.""
"Obviously, their lives were cut short. But I was almost exclusively drawn to the dynamics of the marriage more than anything else, and to handle what everybody knows inevitably does happen with as much grace and sensitivity as possible."
"After everything that I read of all the books, it made the most logical sense to me that I do believe that they met at a party and that they were introduced, and that that obviously would've engendered an opportunity for him to come into the Calvin Klein office and follow up with her."
FX's Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette opens with a disclaimer that the series is inspired by actual events but fictionalizes certain elements for dramatic purposes. Creator Connor Hines focused primarily on the dynamics of the marriage and aimed to portray known events with grace and sensitivity. Accounts of the couple's first meeting vary, with some accounts placing an introduction at a party and others saying they connected at Calvin Klein; the portrayal blends both possibilities. RoseMarie Terenzio reports that Bessette and Kennedy became engaged over the Fourth of July weekend in 1995.
