American Love Story: See the Cast Next to John F. Kennedy Jr., Carolyn Bessette, and More

After horror, crime, and sports, Ryan Murphy is turning his attention to love. The producer’s next anthology series based on recent history, American Love Story, will open with a season focused on the beautiful and damned John F. Kennedy Jr.—the only son of president John F. Kennedy—and his wife, fashion publicist Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. Their relationship made them both media stars in the 1990s, but it came to a tragic end when the two of them (and Carolyn’s sister Lauren) died in a private-plane crash off the coast of Massachusetts in 1999—just three years after their wedding.

The show’s cast is filled with both A-listers and fresh faces, including Paul Kelly and Sarah Pidgeon as the doomed couple and Naomi Watts as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Here, we introduce the stars in the show—so you can see just how they stack up to their real-life counterparts.
