A new TV mini-series about America’s famous Kennedy family starring KATIE HOLMES has been blasted by a former presidential aid, who alleges the sc ript is based on events which "never happened".
The actress will play Jackie Kennedy, the wife of assassinated U.S. Pre sident John F. Kennedy, in the upcoming drama show which will debut on Am erica’s History Channel next year (11).
But experts and former employees of the Kennedy family are fuming after seeing early versions of the screenplay, insisting many key scenes are f ictional.
Ted Sorensen, who was John F. Kennedy’s special counsel and speechwrite r in the White House, says, "Every single conversation with the president in the Oval Office or elsewhere in which I, according to the script, par ticipated, never happened." Nigel Hamilton, author of JFK: Reckless Youth, adds: "Frankly, it’s a t ravesty. Why feed this kind of garbage on something called the History Ch annel?" Greg Kinnear will play JFK in the project.
