39. When John F. Kennedy Jr. Met Carolyn Bessette

39. When John F. Kennedy Jr. Met Carolyn Bessette

It’s an episode of American royalty—the captivating and tragic relationship of John F. Kennedy Jr and Carolyn Bessette. He was an all-American golden boy who charmed everyone he met, and she was a mysterious it-girl, not intimidated by anyone. As public obsession mounted, the fairytale crumbled under pressure. He was was reckless. She was a recluse. Between alleged affairs and family drama, we discuss first-hand accounts of their turbulent story, which ended tragically far too soon.
