Even long after his death, President John F. Kennedy continues to be a popular figure. In addition to documentaries, his influence appears in television and film. In her book
The JFK Image: Profiles in Docudrama (Rowman and Littlefield, 2014), Raluca Lucia Cimpean examined nine docudramas that either included JFK as a character, or as an important influence on the characters. She also discussed the importance of the docudrama as a film genre. In this interview, she talks about the book, as well as how Kennedy's image was important in her early life in Europe.
