John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr. (November 25, 1960 – July 16, 1999), also known as JFK Jr. or John-John, was an American attorney, magazine publisher, and journalist. He was a son of 35th U.S. president John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy.
Born two weeks after his father was elected president, Kennedy spent his early childhood years living in the White House until his father was assassinated. At the funeral procession, which took place on his third birthday, he gave his father's flag-draped casket a final salute as it came past him. As an adult, Kennedy worked for nearly four years as an assistant district attorney in Manhattan. In 1995, he launched his magazine George by using his political and celebrity status to promote it.
