Plot Summary
Based on the best-selling book, this movie explores the first three decades
of JFK's life. Patrick Dempsey plays JFK as a
young man until his first political campaign. Not only does Dempsey
portray the "reckless youth" side of JFK: the naval hero, womanizer, and
political misfit, but he also shows us JFK the thinker, writer, and
speaker.
Claire's Role
While Claire Forlani's role as Ann Cannon is brief, her scene makes
a significant contribution to the premise that JFK led a much livelier and
reckless life in his youth than many had previously thought. JFK invites a
college acquaintance, Skeeter, to the Ritz Carlton in order impress him.
Shortly after JFK meets Skeeter's date, Ann Cannon, JFK has one of the
waiters inform Skeeter of a phone call. With Skeeter out of the dining
room, JFK askes Ann to dance. Then the two discreetly leave the room.
