Sarah Pidgeon Is ‘Not Surprised’ by CBK Costume Discourse

by thenowvibe_admin

After creating acting vehicles for both Travis Kelce and Kim Kardashian, Ryan Murphy has set his sights on JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s love story. American Love Story won’t be out until Valentine’s Day next year, but people are already up in arms about it — when Murphy released the first images of actors Paul Kelly and Sarah Pidgeon last month, nobody seemed particularly thrilled about the costume design. In response, Murphy protested that it’s “not fair” for fans to judge the costumes before they’ve seen the series. Pidgeon, on the other hand, handled things a little more gracefully — as the lord CBK intended.

When Variety asked how the actress felt about the blowback at the premiere of I Know What You Did Last Summer on Monday, Pidgeon said she understood the intensity of the public’s reaction.

“I know how special Carolyn is to me, and I understand how widely beloved she is, so this role comes with a lot of responsibility — and I’m not surprised that people have strong opinions about it,” she said. “That’s what makes her such an interesting person … not only how she dressed, but the woman who worked at Calvin Klein and the person that JFK Jr. fell in love with. She’s a human being beyond just these pictures.”

Pidgeon added that the opportunity to play Bessette-Kennedy has also changed how she conducts herself: “I think that she is an incredibly generous person and she’s incredibly confident,” she said. “I don’t know if I necessarily always carry myself in that way, but it’s been really empowering to channel those elements of Carolyn.”

Sounds like she’s channeling those elements perfectly, if you ask me.
