Two separate stories involving Kennedy family connections have emerged in recent coverage.

In television production news, actors Sarah Pidgeon and Paul Anthony Kelly were filmed floating during the final moments of Episode 6 of "Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette." The floating sequence was achieved practically rather than through visual effects, according to the show's director Gillian Robespierre, who decided to execute the writer's metaphorical concept literally.

Separately, Jack Schlossberg, a descendant of the Kennedy family, has announced his candidacy for New York's 12th Congressional District. Schlossberg has indicated he is serving as his own campaign manager for the bid.

The Netflix series "Love Story" focuses on the relationship between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. The production decision to create a literal floating scene represents an unusual approach to translating metaphorical writing into visual storytelling.

Schlossberg's congressional campaign marks another Kennedy family member's entry into electoral politics, continuing the family's long involvement in public service and political office.
