James DiEugenio Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) I read this script a long time ago when a different director was attached to it. It is complete non distinction. I knew it would get made because I know some top actress would do it just to get an Oscar nomination. So its Portman. And that is about all she wrote. Unless they altered in from when I read it, the script is worthless. Edited September 8, 2016 by James DiEugenio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Newton Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 +1/2 Star for accurately portraying Valenti as a douchebag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Bauer Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Did Valenti actually say those exact lines to Jackie? If so, yes, what a douchebag. I read that when asked what was the toughest thing to deal with in her whole life after JFK was slaughtered Jackie responded..."Just keeping myself together." Jackie Kennedy suffered a classic case of long term PTSD after 11/22/1963. Portman has Jackie's voice inflections down you must admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Newton Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) Did Valenti actually say those exact lines to Jackie? Joe, I'm pretty certain that's a dramatization and a complete fabrication. Even if Valenti wrote a memo describing it, I'm sure the gist would have been more respectful. But he was a douchebag and few would argue otherwise. Edited September 8, 2016 by Chris Newton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
