KENNEDY AID SLAMS KATIE HOLMES' MINI-SERIES
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 script is based on events which "never
happened".
The actress will play Jackie Kennedy, the wife of assassinated U.S.
President John F. Kennedy, in the upcoming drama show which will debut
on America'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
fictional.
Ted Sorensen, who was John F. Kennedy's special counsel and speechwriter
in the White House, says, "Every single conversation with the president
in the Oval Office or elsewhere in which I, according to the script,
participated, never happened."
Nigel Hamilton, author of JFK: Reckless Youth, adds: "Frankly, it's a
travesty. Why feed this kind of garbage on something called the History
Channel?"
Greg Kinnear will play JFK in the project.
