More About FX's Love Story:

  • The first installment in Ryan Murphy’s Love Story anthology is inspired by Elizabeth Beller’s book Once Upon a Time: The Captivating Life of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. 
  • He was the closest thing to American royalty. The country watched him grow from a boy to a beloved bachelor and media sensation. She was a star in her own right. Fiercely independent and with a singular style, she rose from being a sales assistant to an executive at Calvin Klein, and became a trusted confidante of its eponymous founder.
  • As their love story unfolded on a national stage, the intense fame and media attention that came along with it threatened to rip them apart. The series charts the complex and heartbreaking journey of a couple whose private love became a national obsession.
  • The series stars Paul Anthony Kelly as JFK Jr., Sarah Pidgeon as Carolyn Bessette, and features a cast that also includes Grace Summer, Naomi Watts, Alessandro Nivola, Leila George, Sydney Lemmon, and Constance Zimmer.
