re: other mythologized historical events--the JFK assassination?

Wow. Yes. My brain was clearly not firing on all cylinders: that one is mythology on all sorts of levels. Thank you!

It wouldn't surprise me if some part of the Diana Spencer drama took on that character, but I don't know of any actual examples.

Both Alex Cox's Revengers Tragedy (2002) and Alfonso CuarĂ³n's Children of Men (2006) make heavy visual allusions to her death and mourning; I'll bet there are others.
