Love Story’s Sarah Pidgeon Reveals Surprising Way She Tapped Into Carolyn Bessette (Exclusive)<\/p>\n

For most people, taking on the roles of late American icons John F. Kennedy Jr.<\/a> and wife Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy would be daunting, to say the least.<\/p>\n

But for model turned actor Paul Anthony Kelly\u2014who portrays the\u00a0legendary president\u2019s son in Ryan Murphy’s new limited series\u00a0Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette<\/a> on Hulu\u2014the gig was the chance of a lifetime, and a job he didn’t take lightly.<\/p>\n

But I\u2019m still processing it. I still can\u2019t believe it\u2019s me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Love Story’s Sarah Pidgeon Reveals Surprising Way She Tapped Into Carolyn Bessette (Exclusive) For most people, taking on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":517104,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75],"class_list":["post-517103","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/517103","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=517103"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/517103\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/517104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=517103"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=517103"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=517103"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
