John F. Jr. Kennedy

American attorney and magazine editor. A member of one of the most famous families in American history, he was born the second child and only son of Jacqueline and John F. Kennedy. John took the time to find his own niche in one of the most publicized families in America. Easy-going and well-bred, with intense physical charisma, he was known as one of the world's most eligible bachelors, called the Sexiest Man Alive by "People Magazine."

John was delivered by cesarean section at Georgetown University Hospital; his birth was, by no means, flawless. Born 17 days premature, Kennedy spent the first five days of his life in an incubator with hyaline membrane disease, the same respiratory ailment that killed his infant brother Patrick three years later. His dad, the 35th President of the US, was killed three days before his third birthday and buried on his birthday. He and older sister Caroline were raised in New York City to be different than the rest of the raucous Kennedy clan by his mom, Jaqueline Bouvier Kennedy. His uncles Robert and Teddy became surrogate fathers.

He has been in the public eye for more of his life than anyone except for British Royalty. Having little direct memory of his dad, he came to know him through family and friends. He was given his own red speedboat when his mom married Aristotle Onassis when he was almost eight.

John attended the prestigious Phillips Academy in Andover, MA where he flunked a year-end exam and had to repeat a grade. When he was 14 he pelted paparazzi with snowballs in Gstaad and has since worked out a compromise with them; he will pose for pictures if they will back off when he requests it. John spent three days alone on an uninhabited island off the coast of Maine when he was 16 during an Outward Bound project. Instead of going to Harvard as the rest of the male members of the family, he chose Brown University. At Brown he kept a baby pig in the basement of the Phi Psi frat house.
