Daryl Hannah Slams Love Story Portrayal

0:00This is Corey, and here's what's trending across entertainment and celebrity news right now. Darryl Hannah sparked a big debate with her essay in The New York Times on Friday. Titles something like a challenge to the show Love Story, it slams how the series depicts her. The drama covers the romance and tragic plane crash deaths of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bassett back in 1999. Hannah dated Kennedy for years before his marriage to Bassett. Producers never reached out to her during filming, as one admitted in an interview. They cast her character as the annoying roadblock, keeping the couple apart, purely for dramatic tension. Hannah calls this out as unfair, saying living people should not just be plot devices. She's fired back hard on specific scenes, denying she ever used cocaine, hosted wild drug parties, pressured Kennedy into marriage, damaged family, heirlooms, crashed private memorials, leaked stories to the press, or made cruel comparisons about Jacqueline O'Nassus' death. None of that matches her real life or relationship.

1:02Since Love Story premiered on February 12th, Hannah has faced a wave of angry threats from fans treating the show like gospel truth. She worries this kind of fiction sticks as collective memory on mind, damaging reputations for good. Beyond being an ex, Hannah points to her decades of real work and environmental fights, documentary films, and animal therapy for seniors with dementia. Or Alzheimer's. She argues it's often misogyny to knock down one woman to prop up another in these stories. A message from our sponsor supports today's story. Pressplay. Put your head down.
