Ryan Murphy’s ‘American Love Story’ Casts Grace Gummer, Sydney Lemmon & Alessandro Nivola


Ryan Murphy's 'American Love Story' Casts Grace Gummer, Sydney Lemmon & Alessandro Nivola.

In the first season, focused on JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, what started as a beautiful union for the young couple, widely regarded as American royalty, began to fray under the stress of the relentless microscope and navel-gaze of tabloid media. The pressures of their careers and rumored family discord ended with their tragic deaths when his private plane crashed into the ocean on a hazy summer night off the coast of Massachusetts. Lemmon can also be seen in films like Dan Gilroy’s Velvet Buzzsaw and Blumhouse’s Firestarter, as well as AMC’s series Fear the Walking Dead, in which her performance was nominated for a Saturn Award.
