With the exception of the hairstyles, she doesn't remind me of Jackie at all.

Yeah I agree, and Peter Sarsgaard looked nothing like Bobby. The worst one was John Carroll Lynch as LBJ, especially if you compare his appearance to Bryan Cranstons in All the Way.

What ? So historical figures should only be played by lookalikes ?

No, they can use prosthetics and makeup. The way they made Bryan Cranston look like LBJ in All the Way was amazing.

True. Not just NP but a lot of actors in the film didn't look like the people they were playing. It happens a lot in films. Not about the appearance so much as how they tell the story of those people.

They did a really good job on the one who played John F. Kennedy though.

She is too short and sounded too much like Marilyn Monroe not Jackie.
