National Geographic Channel has released the first photo of Ginnifer Goodwin as first lady Jacqueline Kennedy in the upcoming TV movie "Killing Kennedy."

The "Once Upon a Time" star, 35, stars alongside Rob Lowe, who plays President John F. Kennedy (see a photo of him in character here).

Earlier this week, Lowe tweeted, "Just saw [Goodwin] as Jackie Kennedy in the sad and awful blood-stained dress. Extremely emotional."

And on Thursday, he shared a photo of a sky filled with dark clouds, adding, "Even God doesn't want to revisit the Dallas motorcade."

"Killing Kennedy," based on the book by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard, chronicles the final years of Kennedy and his assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, leading up to their deaths in November 1963. Will Rothhaar ("Last Resort") is playing Oswald, and Michelle Trachtenberg ("Gossip Girl") will portray Oswald's wife, Marina.

The two-hour docudrama is set to air in November.

Tell us: Do you think Goodwin will make a good Jacqueline Kennedy?
