Download a free copy of the Last Will and Testament of John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr. (1960-1999).
John Kenedy Jr. was an American publisher and public figure, son of assassinated US President John F. Kennedy and his wife Jacqueline. John was a member of an American family that, to many people, represented the closest thing America had to royalty and as such, he spent his entire life in the public eye.
John Jr. grew up into a handsome and athletic man. He was dubbed People magazine's 'Sexiest Man Alive' in 1988, and was the only person so named who was not a working actor. Kennedy served as a prosecutor in the Manhattan district attorney's office for four years. In 1995 he founded George Magazine, a glossy politics-as-lifestyle monthly which sometimes took editorial aim even at members of his own family.
Kennedy was killed in 1999 along with his wife Carolyn and sister-in-law Lauren when his Piper Saratoga aircraft crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off Martha's Vineyard.
