Revisiting Their Tragic Love Story

The couple shared a sweet moment at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on May 1, 1999, in a now-iconic photo taken just two months before their deaths.

Anyone who wasn't living under a rock in the 1990s knew every step of John F. Kennedy Jr.'s whirlwind relationship with Carolyn Bessette like the back of their hand, from him giving up his eligible bachelor status to saying “I do” — and eventually their untimely deaths. For those who were somehow out of the loop (or not even born yet), FX is introducing the most talked-about couple of their decade to a whole new generation with Love Story, a series starring Paul Anthony Kelly and Sarah Pidgeon as the late pair (inset).

Love Story airs its final episode on FX and Hulu on March 26.
