Last month, Pidgeon spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about taking up the position of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, bearing on why the late vogue publicist resonates a lot along with her.
“She was a young woman in New York City, driven to make it on her own,” Pidgeon stated. “She had this vibrant life before and after John; she was really her own person. She had this really, really strong sense of self, which I think is what allowed her to connect with people so well. There wasn’t this self-consciousness about her. While I believe she had her own insecurities, as we all do, I think she allowed herself to take up space. She allowed herself to be heard. I think that’s evident by how quickly she climbed the ranks of Calvin Klein.”
“She was funny, vivacious, and could be loud,” the actress continued. “I remember reading the story about her going to a hockey game, and she could just curse like a sailor and was getting competitive for the team that was playing. I found that so interesting, considering she is this icon of minimalist fashion, to have so much spunk and spice, a strong sense of opinion, because that showed up [in] “how she dressed.”
Playing her brought a new boldness to Pidgeon herself, the actress added: “What I hope I get to hold is that I’ve by no means been a chief on a present. So usually in previous initiatives or simply in life, I assumed, ‘Oh, it is possibly greatest I do not converse up proper now,’ or ‘possibly I ought to hold my opinions to myself.’ I believe Carolyn would not have accomplished that. She actually spoke her thoughts. And in taking part in her and wanting to do her legacy justice, by advocating for her via this course of, I due to this fact additionally had to advocate for myself.”
