Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette isn’t just about their romance. The FX limited series explores the family dynamics that John and Carolyn (played by Paul Anthony Kelly and Sarah Pidgeon) had with their loved ones.
Carolyn’s sister, Lauren Bessette, tragically lost her life alongside Carolyn and John in a July 16, 1999, plane crash. Sydney Lemmon plays Lauren, while Constance Zimmer plays Carolyn and Lauren’s mom, Ann Messina Freeman. Since Lemmon and Zimmer play such crucial roles in the series, Swooon has done a deep dive into Carolyn Bessette’s family so you can learn more about her siblings, what happened to her mother, and more.
