The pressures of their careers and rumored family discord ended with their tragic deaths when their private plane crashed into the ocean on a hazy summer night off the coast of Massachusetts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tHenderson was a close friend and former roommate of Bessette and a former assistant of Calvin Klein (to be played by Alessandro Nivola) when Bessette handled public relations for the fashion house. Although she picked Narciso Rodriguez to design her wedding gown, Henderson helped Bessette slip into her dress when she struggled to get it on. Henderson famously designed Kennedy Jr.\u2019s wedding suit for the 1986 nuptials, however, which launched the designer\u2019s bespoke collection. Henderson received the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Award for best new talent in 1989 and an exclusive deal with Saks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tFX and 20th Television declined to comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tChancellor joins the previously announced series regulars Naomi Watts as JFK Jr\u2019s mother, Jackie O, Grace Gummer as Caroline Kennedy, as well as Sydney Lemmon as Lauren Bessette in a recurring role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tChancellor received their MFA from NYU Tisch\u2019s Graduate Acting Program.
