How Did 'Love Story' Finale Address JFK Jr., Carolyn's Deaths After Crash?
- On Thursday, March 26, FX's limited series 'Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette' concluded with a finale depicting the 1999 plane crash that killed the titular couple and Lauren Bessette.
- Created by Connor Hines and executive produced by Ryan Murphy, the anthology series explored the couple's whirlwind romance, though producers faced criticism from the Kennedy family regarding dramatization of private moments.
- With over 25 million hours viewed, the drama became FX's most-watched limited series on Disney+ and Hulu, despite early internet skepticism regarding the casting of Sarah Pidgeon and Paul Anthony Kelly.
- The finale revisited the 1999 plane crash while focusing on surviving family members' grief, closing with an imagined sequence showing JFK Jr. and Carolyn happy and alone on a beach.
- Executive producers Brad Simpson and Nina Jacobson defended the project, stating they aimed to approach the material from an 'honest and earnest place' rather than one that felt exploitative.
