Showtime (Sunday, July 21, 8 p.m. ET)
Twenty-four years before her death in 1999, Judith Campbell Exner made a splash in the headlines with her claim that she'd been the mistress of both John F. Kennedy and mobster Sam Giancana in the early 1960s. Well, she could have slept with Robert Kennedy, all the Gambinos and Marilyn Monroe to boot, and this TV bio wouldn't be any juicier for it. Power, which depicts Exner as a nice girl exploited by the king of Camelot and the kingpin of crime, irons every kinky wrinkle flat. Its star, statuesque but stiff Natasha Henstridge, doesn't offer a hint of Exner's mysterious inner life. As JFK, Kevin Anderson talks in a wabbity Boston accent.
Bottom Line: Power tripped
