John F. Kennedy, Jr.--Child of a Dream

He was called "America's Crown Prince," a "reckless spirit," an "unknown quantity," and named "The Sexiest Man In The World" by People magazine, but the full measure of John F. Kennedy, Jr. will never be known. With its usual skill and artistic merit, A&E has produced yet another noteworthy entry in its popular Biography series, and one certain to be a popular item in public libraries. JFK, Jr. was one of the most admired men in America, but while the public saw one face of Kennedy--the often dilettantish lawyer, the squire of beautiful women, the publisher of an elitist magazine, the incredibly handsome heir to Camelot--privately, he was something of a media-shy Renaissance man who had not yet fully reached his potential. This well-made documentary fills in as many blanks as possible in the life of a tragically un-finished man. Recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (J. Carlson)
