‘Killing Kennedy’: Co-Star Ginnifer Goodwin Says Rob Lowe was Channeling JFK
Photo Credit: Fox News On his first day on the set of “Killing Kennedy,” Rob Lowe saw Ginnifer Goodwin donning a replica of the pink suit worn by first lady Jacqueline Kennedy when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
Immediately, the intensity and the reality of what they were about to depict in the film hit home.
“Seeing her in that beautiful pink Chanel with bloodstains on it was unbelievably emotional,” Lowe said in an interview with The Associated Press on the set, briefly suppressing the accent he groomed to emulate JFK.
“It made it real,” he added. “If I were under any illusions about what we were doing, seeing her in that iconic moment was, I would say, sobering.”
It also set the tone for filming of the movie, which profiles the Kennedy family and gunman Lee Harvey Oswald. Filmed in Richmond, it premieres Sunday on the National Geographic Channel, several days before the 50th anniversary of JFK’s death in Dallas.
