What happened between Daryl Hannah and JFK Jr – and where is she now?
The Blade Runner actress, now married to Neil Young, had a romance with the late JFK Jr before he eventually wed Carolyn Bessette
Also in the three-part premiere, John-John’s heart-fluttering romance with Bessette (Sarah Pidgeon) is interrupted when he is reported to have reconciled with his ex, Hannah. The actress also shows up at his mother’s wake. Carole Radziwill, whose husband was JFK Jr’s cousin, Anthony Radziwill, revealed in JFK Jr.: An Intimate Oral Biography that the pair “broke up for good shortly after the funeral”.
Per Hollywood awards publication Gold Derby, Hannah had no say in how she was represented in Love Story, which is based on Elizabeth Beller’s book, Once Upon a Time: The Captivating Life of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy.
According to People, the pair first crossed paths while holidaying with their families in St Martin. They met again when Kennedy’s aunt, Lee Radziwill, tied the knot with Steel Magnolias director Herbert Ross and fell in love. Per reports, they bonded over their love of activities like skiing and camping. Kennedy’s passion for acting may have contributed to their budding romance as well, per Vanity Fair.
