Kennedy, John Fitzgerald, Jr.

Kennedy, John Fitzgerald, Jr.
▪ 2000

      American publisher and public figure (b. Nov. 25, 1960, Washington, D.C.—d. July 16, 1999, off Martha's Vineyard, Mass.), was a member of the American family that to many people most resembled royalty and as such spent his entire life in the public eye. From the time of his birth to President-elect John F. Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline, to his poignant salute at his assassinated father's funeral on his third birthday and through his education, his struggles to pass the bar exam, his romances, and his marriage to Carolyn Bessette in 1996 and their life together thereafter, he was watched and reported upon almost constantly. In 1995 Kennedy launched George, a political magazine, with himself as editor in chief. He also served as a patron of the arts and was on the boards of a number of charitable foundations and nonprofit organizations. Kennedy, along with his wife and her sister Lauren, died when the plane he was piloting crashed while they were en route to a cousin's wedding.
