In the third episode of Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, an ailing Jackie Kennedy Onassis sits before a fireplace in her Fifth Avenue apartment. She reaches into a box and extracts a letter from Marlon Brando, with whom she had a brief affair in 1964, according to an early draft of the actor’s memoir. She takes a drag from her cigarette, reads the letter, then tosses it into the fire.
“What are you doing?,” John junior asks.
