AND Timothée Chalamet is too beautiful to make Bob Dylan, and Lindsay Lohan is little too beautiful to make Elizabeth Taylor. And now what the hell to do with Carolyn Bessette and John Kennedy Jr. Sarah Pidgeon and Paul Kelly. Where there is biopic, you know, there is controversy over similarity. So let alone on that of Bethete and John John, tragic figures of beautiful, rich, cool, cool, cool. Stylosis and dead on a July 1999 evening (still young and therefore immortal).
To dare give them a face (and a wardrobe) is once again, he Ryan Murphy who transformed the rotocalco into fake television prestige. And that has spread over the weekend The first images of Pidgeon and Kelly In the role of the cursed couple, Star of the series American Love Story – rib or variant of the various anthological series on the myths of America Outgoing on Valentine’s Day of 2026.
In the cast alongside the two protagonists, and already confirmed in recent months, there are Naomi Watts as mom Jackie Kennedy. Then Alessandro Nivola in those of Calvin Klein, Sydney Lemmon in those of the older sister of Carolyn, Lauren, also died in the airplane (towards the island Martha’s Vineyard) in which John guided was; Finally Grace Gummer is Caroline Kennedy.

Carolyn Bessette and John Kennedy Jr. in American Love Story: the looks of Sarah Pidgeon and Paul Kelly in the role of the royal couple of America
The production of the TV series, Murphy wrote on the account of his production house, He will start this week in New York. As an accompaniment to the looks – and a video of tests to the actors – the good Ryan then presented to the public Sarah Pidgeon (Carolyn) and Paul Kelly (John F. Kennedy Jr.). «After more than a thousand actors Provinatedthe two of them are the perfect choice to interpret the couple ». And again: “I can’t wait to show you the tragic and romantic love story between the prince of America, JFK JR, and the fashion icon Carolyn Bessette”.
American Love Story It is part of the mega contract entered into by Murphy with Disney after the end of the five -year one with Netflix. Disney is the study where he started and where he got the greatest successes, from American Horror Story to Feud To the imminent – always successful, there is to bet – The Beauty. That, paraphrasing the synopsis of IMDBdeals with sexually transmitted diseases which, despite being lethal, cause irresistible aesthetic improvements.
However, returning to Carolyn Bessette and John Kennedy Jr. seen through Sarah Pidgeon and Paul Kelly, The poor people – on the occasion of the jump towards fame or infamy – have seen each other a series of thumbs towards. They do not resemble the originals at all, they seem two who met at a weekend of Team Building of Banca Intesa. The courage to use clothes that look like cardboard compared to Yohji Yamamoto and custom -made Calvin for Carolyn. Block the production. In short, the usual delusions.
Obviously they are not and will not be like the real couple. Obvious that Since this is no longer the era of Visconti and the scenic and costume costume philology in the film time Sarah’s clothes will not be like those with the Bettette brush. But even Sarah also wore the Carolyn wardrobe, what certainty is there that the miracle of the couple would be created that never made a look, a pose, a gesture. Making every paparazzi output seem extraordinarily natural.
No, it’s not there. Too clearly giants Carolyn and John John, hegemonic in every area and parameter. It remains only to wait for the best the Murphy man is able to offer. The stratospheric ego that leads him without hesitation to dissect cases of the twentieth century and to have a gift. To do zozza and voyeur TV that we talk to with pleasure The time of a dinner.
However, there is also the possibility of being surprised by Sarah and Paul (maybe they are the next Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier). The photocopy similarity is not a guarantee of anything, Nor of a performance without smudging (see the case of Nicole Kidman in the role – first highly contested and then no – by Lucille Ball in About Ricardo). The real drama will be when Ryan has exhausted the whole twentieth century like Francesca Fagnani the interesting interviewees (who in fact recalls).
