Mixed Reactions from Fans
Social media has been buzzing with opinions after the release of new stills featuring Pidgeon as Bessette. Some fans have praised the actress for her striking resemblance to the beloved public figure, noting her poise and elegance. "She captures Carolyn's grace perfectly," one fan commented.
However, not everyone is sold. Critics argue that Pidgeon's interpretation lacks the effortless charm and mystique that defined Bessette. "Carolyn had an aura that’s hard to replicate," another viewer remarked.
The Legacy of Carolyn Bessette
