“I think he was very sensitive to not wanting to feel that he was piggybacking off my or my wife’s reputation,” Nivola says. “Now that he’s sort of established himself after ‘White Lotus,’ some of that pressure may be removed. So now we talk more and more about, ‘Dad, what would you do in this case?’ both on the decision-making side and the creative side of the process.”
Alessandro Nivola portrays fashion designer Calvin Klein in the limited series “Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette.”
Starring roles on Broadway, on television and in last year’s Oscar-winning film, “The Brutalist,” have given the elder Nivola plenty of experience. Mortimer has awards for work in several films and made her directorial debut with the miniseries, “The Pursuit of Love,” and created the series, “Doll & Em.”
Because “White Lotus” was such a huge hit, Sam — who plays Patrick Schwarzenegger’s brother in Season 3 — was wise to seek their counsel.
Conversely, Nivola didn’t need to return the favor when deciding what to wear to the premiere of “Love Story.”
Calvin Klein’s company dressed him for a premiere in the 1990s, and “I had the tuxedo down in my basement collecting dust,” he says. “I brushed it off, popped it on and it fit me like a glove.”
Calvin Klein in Calvin Klein? Of course.
“Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette” airs on FX.
