Ryan Murphy Blasts ‘Inflammatory’ Backlash Over Camera Test Images of ‘American Love Story’ Star Sarah Pidgeon as Carolyn Bessette: ‘It’s Not Fair’


Ryan Murphy is blasting critiques of the first images of ‘American Love Story’ star Sarah Pidgeon as Carolyn Bessette.

The television impresario faced fashionista backlash last week when he posted a first look of “American Love Story” stars Paul Kelly and Sarah Pidgeon in what appeared to be full wardrobe and makeup as John F. Kennedy Jr. and Bessette-Kennedy. In September, months before “ American Love Story ” premieres on FX on Valentine’s Day, Murphy reveals he is going to release 20 short videos showing images of Bessette-Kennedy alongside Pidgeon in full character to illustrate Eyrich’s work and attention to detail. Kennedy and Bessette died in a plane crash on July 16, 1999 when JFK Jr. was flying his wife, and her sister, Lauren, from New Jersey to Martha’s Vineyard for a family wedding.
