Where John F. Kennedy’s ex-girlfriend Daryl Hannah is now

Daryl Hannah shows up at John’s loft after his first date with Carolyn

Daryl Hannah (Hemingway), John’s girlfriend, is in his attic when he comes home, having just gushed about his cousin and best friend Anthony Radziwill (Eric Bergen) about how he just wants to call Carolyn.

He soon brings Daryl to his cousin Edward Kennedy Jr.‘s wedding in October 1993, much to his mother Jacqueline Kennedy‘s disapproval (here for effect, but based in reality), and Carolyn finds out on a tabloid cover that her seemingly eager admirer is back together with his movie star ex.

Meanwhile, John has been sending Carolyn flowers and eventually, when they meet at another event, telling her that he “can’t seem to function” because he knows she hates him. To which she replies, “I don’t know you well enough to hate you.”

The surprise rendezvous was a dramatic way for Love Story to introduce the Splash star, but producers didn’t seek input from Daryl, to whom she was married Neil Young since 2018.

“We want to find these characters from the inside out,” producer Nina Jacobson said Gold Derby, “and it’s hard to serve a range of intentions when you [go] to the real people. So we tend to only do that on rare occasions.”

In Daryl’s case, she’s “a challenger to what you want narratively in the story,” Jacobson explained, but “we’re still trying to be really respectful of the fact that she’s fluent in that.” [celebrity] World that Carolyn doesn’t have.
