Daryl Hannah doesn't care how much audiences love "Love Story."
In a new op-ed, published by the New York Times Friday, March 6, Hannah panned the show, which dramatized the romance and death of John F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. The FX show, from controversial producer Ryan Murphy, has captivated audiences but ruffled the feathers of some in the Kennedy clan who claim it is not only false, but a gross glamorization of a personal tragedy.
On Friday, Hannah, a onetime romantic partner of JFK Jr., counted herself among the critics, blasting a character named after her in the show, and deriding the choice to make it at all as "tragedy-exploiting."
"The choice to portray her as irritating, self-absorbed, whiny and inappropriate was no accident," Hannah, 65, wrote of her character in the show. "Storytelling requires tension. It often requires an obstacle. But a real, living person is not a narrative device."
