I Worked for JFK Jr. I Thought I Would Sob Through ‘Love Story.’ Instead, I Laughed Out Loud.

So now I have to admit that I’m watching it. This is a touchy subject for those who actually knew John and Carolyn. Do you purposely and deliberately not watch, assuming Love Story — Ryan Murphy’s latest extravaganza dramatizing their relationship and tragic death — will be dreck that they’d both have hated? In solidarity with John’s beloved nephew Jack Schlossberg, who was the ring-bearer at his secret wedding, and who, months before a trailer was even released, accused Murphy of profiting off his uncle “in a grotesque way”? Yikes. Shouldn’t we all be virtue-signaling and (grandly) announce that we will not be watching it?

Well, no. I worked for John at George. He started a magazine, for chrissake. And one of the reasons he was an excellent editor (yes, he was) was because John had the No. 1 quality of a great editor: an insatiable curiosity. Journalists are curious.
