Kennedy drama obsessions after 'love story' ends

With the final episode of FX's 'The Kennedys: After Camelot' series, fans of the Kennedy clan will need to find their next fix of the storied family's drama-filled lives. Vogue's culture team has already turned to a slate of documentaries, films, and miniseries to satisfy their cravings.

Kennedy documentaries worth watching

John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette's love story may have captivated audiences in 'Love Story,' but for those seeking a deeper dive into JFK Jr.'s work and personal life, 'JFK Jr.: The Final Year' (2019) is a must-watch. The documentary focuses on Kennedy's time at George magazine, his relationships with the press, and his marriage, all set against the backdrop of his final year, 1999.

For another perspective on the Kennedy family's tragic history, 'Chappaquiddick' (2017) offers a gripping dramatization of the 1963 car accident that claimed the life of Mary Jo Kopechne, a young aide to Senator Ted Kennedy. Kate Mara delivers a powerful performance as Kopechne in this critically acclaimed film.

In 'That Summer' (2017), Swedish director Göran Hugo Olsson reassembles footage from a scrapped 1972 documentary project by Lee Radziwill and photographer Peter Beard. The result is a fascinating portrait of the eccentric Bouvier family, which served as the inspiration for the classic 1975 documentary 'Grey Gardens.'

Films and miniseries to stream now

For a more historically rooted exploration of the Kennedy era, 'Thirteen Days' (2000) dramatizes the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis from the perspective of White House aide Kenneth O'Donnell, offering a unique insider's view of the high-stakes political drama.

And, of course, no discussion of Kennedy-themed viewing would be complete without a nod to the original 'Love Story' (1970), the classic romantic drama that inspired the FX series. Even fans familiar with the more recent adaptation may find themselves drawn back in by the iconic performances of Ryan O'Neal and Ali MacGraw.
