The Last Days Of John F. Kennedy Jr.

[Anonymous]

JFK Jr. has been dead for twenty years and literally did nothing notable with his life. Why are they still running specials on him??

Yes, he did something notable! He drowned twice as many women as his uncle.

He was so attractive. Man.

Closest we had to royalty.

Agree that TV specials are just excessive, OP. When I saw the thread title I thought it was about his father and not JFK Jr. Strange to decide to reconstruct the last days of the son. There are no surprises to find at this point anyway. I guess part of the reason some people still have an interest is like any tragedy - he didn't do much of note in his life but had all that potential, seemed to have just gotten some things started (like his magazine), etc. I know a few people who still hark back to his father's "Camelot" fairytale and who always followed JFK Jr. since he was part of their own generation.

Have to admit, this made me LOL.

ABC says "He is our last prince" in their promos.

True, but there was something off-putting about his voice.

From what I remember, he and his wife were feuding a lot in the time leading up to the wedding (that they were headed to on that plane).

I really liked him and will watch the special. I always hoped he would go into and succeed in politics.

Potential squandered though. When he died the man was 38, started a ridiculous literary magazine that belonged on a college newsroom floor and failed the bar exam two times.

It’s kind of embarrassing that ABC and others are holding him as anything but a failure to launch.

Wasn't as bad as the awful, nasal, braying voice of his sister.

So true about Caroline. It’s terrible. His voice was LOUD and pitchy. I wonder if he wasn’t a little bit on the spectrum or something. It’s like he couldn’t regulate his speech.

Extreme reaction to something relatively innocuous.

But this is exactly what I liked best about him. He was a Kennedy but struggled like many of us. He wasn't perfect but so easy to root for.

Also, so easy on the eyes!
