Love Story's Sarah Pidgeon on Becoming Carolyn Bessette Kennedy & Casting JFK Jr.
Since landing the role of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy in the new FX series Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, actress Sarah Pidgeon has had to undergo a full transformation. Not only did she dye her dark brown hair blonde (which she says is here to stay, at least for now!), but she also worked with a movement coach to nail down CBK’s mannerisms.
“I was really focused on my eyes and I was thinking about taking all this information from these books and interviews that I had sort of gathered,” Pidgeon told Chloe Wednesday afternoon in Vogue’s podcast studio. With less than a minute of recorded video of Carolyn to work off of, Sarah found that listening to Elizabeth Beller’s book Once Upon A Time on repeat was the best way to prepare.
Beyond her transformation, Sarah discussed her strategy for red carpet dressing, telling the story behind her feather dress and pant look she work to the show’s premiere. And she dives into all of the clothes she actually was able to steal from set!
