Daryl Hannah takes aim at ‘distorted’ portrayal in ‘Love Story’

The “Kill Bill” star, 65, took aim at the FX show in a New York Times guest essay, entitled, “How Can ‘Love Story’ Get Away With This?”

Hannah, who dated Kennedy on and off for five years, until 1994, said the “character ‘Daryl Hannah’ … is not even a remotely accurate representation of my life, my conduct or my relationship with John.”

“The actions and behaviors attributed to me are untrue,” wrote Hannah, who married Neil Young in 2018. “It’s appalling to me that I even have to defend myself against a television show.”

The limited series featuring Dree Hemingway as the “Splash” actress premiered last month and is already Hulu and Disney+’s most-watched limited series ever.

Hannah said she has never used cocaine “or hosted cocaine-fueled parties,” as is portrayed in the show. She also denies having ever “pressured anyone into marriage” or “intruded upon anyone’s private memorial,” referring to other moments depicted on-screen.

She also says she never planted stories in the press nor did she compare the death of Kennedy matriarch Jacqueline Onassis to the loss of her dog, as the character who shares her name does in the show’s third episode.

Hannah, also an environmental advocate and documentarian, said that though she usually opts against publicly correcting “outrageous lies, crappy stories and unflattering characterizations,” she’s been on the receiving end of “many hostile and even threatening messages from viewers.”

Hannah added she doesn’t want the portrayal impacting her work, which includes animal-assisted therapy for senior citizens.

Hannah decried the “self-serving sensationalists” feeding information about the people fictionalized in the series, adding she’s “always honored [the Kennedy family’s] right to privacy.”

“Real names are not fictional tools. They belong to real lives. … Online lies endure,” said Hannah.
