Why not me?

It's also, by the way, the Cinderella story is in some ways why I think perhaps people in the U.K.

are really interested in the story of Prince William and Kate Middleton, right?

And like Princess Diana, people are still really interested in the Kennedy story, including people who are too young to remember any of the people that we are talking about in the show.

I wonder why you think the public fascination with the Kennedys has endured so

America's Widow.

Right.

The family's tragedies have very much become part of their public story.

Okay, so that's the Kennedys.

I want to turn to Carolyn Bessette.

There's a lot of big stuff we have to talk about before we can get married.

You know?

Something I found really interesting as I was doing some research for this episode is just how little there is out there about Carolyn Bessette.

She was photographed a lot, but she very rarely gave interviews.

In fact, I think she quite famously declined a couple of major interviews.

And I wonder how you think that vacuum of information about the real life Carolyn Bessette contributed to her portrayal on the show.

You know... She doesn't like the spotlight either.

She doesn't like the spotlight.

She betrays hating it on the show.

And in the absence of that, I guess people have to, or get to, project their own images onto her.
