Whether or not he said these exact words, Maureen Dowd has found some filmmakers turning Mark Twain sarcasm on its head …
From her March 14, 2026 column in the New York Times, “The Lost Horizon of John and Carolyn,” about a 2026 TV series called, “Love Story” …
“Daryl Hannah, the actress who dated J.F.K. Jr. before Carolyn, with a bit of overlap, wrote a trenchant guest essay in Times Opinion, claiming that the show turns her into a cocaine-snorting “obstacle” to the love story, a narrative device that is not “remotely accurate.” She said she’s never done cocaine.
“Nina Jacobson, a “Love Story” producer, admitted, “Given how much we’re rooting for John and Carolyn, Daryl Hannah occupies a space where she’s an adversary to what you want narratively in the story.” The producers did not consult with Hannah or the Kennedys. Connor Hines, the showrunner, told Variety that “it allows you to be a lot more objective.” Besides, he added inanely and selfishly, “it’s an incredibly large family as well. So if you were to talk about consulting them, where would you even begin?”
