Elisabeth to portray JFK’s sister Rosemary

Handmaid’s Tale (television series) actor Elisabeth Moss will play the role of late Rosemary Kennedy in Ritesh Batra’s next movie venture, A Letter From Rosemary Kennedy.

Rosemary was the younger sister of former US President John F Kennedy, and the third child of Joseph P Kennedy and Rose Fitzgerald, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The film’s story is based on a Black List spec script by first-timer Nick Yarborough, and will chronicle the life of Rosemary, who spent a lifetime hidden from public view because of the political ambitions of her father, Joseph Kennedy.

“The movies about the Kennedy family are deservedly stormy affairs, but

here’s a story about the storms within all of us. This is why I am excited to tell this story, and to collaborate with Elisabeth, a fabulously talented actor,” Batra said in a statement.

Jason Michael Berman and Kevin Turen will produce the project along with Moss.

Richard Arlook, Allard Cantor, and Jarrod Murray will serve as the executive producers.
