Biography

John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr. (November 25, 1960 – July 16, 1999), also referred to as JFK Jr., was an American businessman, attorney, magazine publisher, and journalist. He was the son of the 35th U.S. president John F. Kennedy, and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. Born shortly after his father's election, Kennedy spent his early childhood in the White House until the president's assassination, after which he became widely recognized for saluting his father's casket during the funeral procession. He later worked as an assistant district attorney in Manhattan before launching the political lifestyle magazine George in 1995. A prominent social figure in Manhattan, Kennedy was the subject of sustained media attention throughout his life, including coverage of his marriage to Carolyn Bessette. He was also active in nonprofit work and in supporting his family's political campaigns. Kennedy died in a plane crash in 1999.
