Remembering John F. Kennedy, Jr.'s Life in Photos

John F. Kennedy, Jr. was born into American royalty—and throughout his life, he remained the public's golden son. From the early photos of toddler-aged John-John playing around in the Oval Office, to the paparazzi shots of a strapping John and Carolyn Bessette falling in love, the press would never lose its interest in the late president's son. Then, in the summer of 1999, John's years were cut short in a plane crash that killed him, Carolyn, and Carolyn's sister Lauren. Nearly 20 years after that fateful day, here's a look back at John F. Kennedy, Jr.'s 38 years, as seen through 30 iconic photographs.
