CNN’s ‘American Prince: JFK Jr.’ Explores John-John’s Life, Legacy and Troubled Relationship
He was “the biggest celebrity in America when he was conceived,” opines historian Steve Gillon about John F. Kennedy Jr., who was born just weeks after his father won the 1960 presidential election.
This three-part series includes fascinating archival footage and interviews with JFK Jr. himself as well as his family and famous friends including Real Housewives of New York alum (and the widow of JFK Jr.’s late cousin) Carole Radziwill, plus Robert De Niro and Cindy Crawford. It also delves into his troubled relationship with wife Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and the fatal mistakes that led to their deaths in a plane crash in 1999.
American Prince: JFK Jr. | Premieres Saturday, Aug. 9, at 9 p.m. ET, on CNN
