Carole Radziwill Filmed 'RHONY' Amid Hulu's 'Love Story' Frenzy
Bravo cameras were rolling while Hulu's Love Story - which followed the lives and tragic deaths of Carole Radziwill's close friends Carolyn Bessette and John F. Kennedy Jr., and also portrayed her late husband - dominated pop culture, her Real Housewives of New York co-star recently revealed.
"Seeing her overcome what happened with Love Story while our show is being filmed is really interesting," co-star Erin Lichy recently told Us Weekly this week.
Radziwill, who will be marking her return to the Bravo show after stepping away for eight years, not only found herself in the spotlight as it was announced she'd soon make her reality TV comeback, but as she was associated with the Hulu show due to her connection to the Kennedys and subsequent friendship with Bessette. (Her late husband, Anthony Radziwill, was the son Jackie Kennedy's sister, Lee Radziwill.)
And while she would acknowledge her ties to the high profile family throughout her time on RHONYsporadically, she stayed mum when asked about the show, where actor Erich Bergen played her late husband who died of cancer just weeks before Bessette and Kennedy's fatal plane crash in 1999.
However she did mention in a March New York Times article, that she first found out about the series when an actor auditioning for the role of Anthony asked her for footage or recordings of him to use as prep material.
She also authored a memoir following the death of her husband in 2005 entitled 'What Remains,' which Sarah Pidgeon, the actress who portrayed Bessette, said in an interview that she read.
"It's a beautiful, beautiful book," she told Refinery29.

An official premiere date for Season 16 of the show, and when Bravo fans will see Carole back on their screens, has yet to be announced.
Of her addition to the show, Lichy also told the outlet, "Carole is amazing, she really meshes with our group very well, she brings like a whole other element...she can be a little messy, we love it."
Along with Lichy, Sai De Silva, and Jessel Taank will be returning. Joining them will be newbies Erika Hammond, Daisy Toye and Hailey Glassman.
