Ryan Murphy, creator of "American Love Story," defends his portrayal of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy after facing criticism for initial costume test photos. Critics deemed the outfits fast-fashion knockoffs, lacking authenticity. Murphy clarifies the images were for lighting tests, not the final look. He reveals a 10-person style advisory board and the acquisition of Bessette-Kennedy's clothing, including a replica of her wedding dress. Murphy plans to release 20 videos showcasing the accuracy of the costumes and expresses frustration with Vogue's interview with Bessette-Kennedy's hairstylist, who criticized the show's hair styling without contacting the production. Murphy plans to donate to the JFK Presidential Library.
