ABC News Barbara Walters on JFK Jr

Barbara Walters looks back on her interview with JFK Jr. on July 17, 1999.

[@myroselle6987]

One thing I find very interesting is that, when asked about the 'burden of expectation' put on children of famous families, JFK Jr. made a comment about the extra opportunities that those children have. He understood the privilege he was born into. And he didn't take himself as seriously as he might have. I really admire that. A lovely man indeed...

[@italishgirl5601]

Rose Kennedy taught all of her grandchildren that “ to whom much is given, much is expected”

[@gamesthatiplay9083]

This could be why my friend's father, never allowed my friend to even get into the same business. His father had all his associates, and even competitors not allow his son into the same business. My friend got into the business anyway, and gave speeches about how his father refused to help him, but he made it anyway. Then he bought out his father's business with his father laughing about how "I'm gonna sell it to the competition, and not you." My friend won the bidding war for the company. We always thought his dad was a jerk for not wanting him to be a contractor, that he must just be the dumb son, not even good enough to be in the industry.

[@sarrhodes8277]

He always comes across in interviews as a gentleman in the real sense of the term. Gentle and kindly and with a modest nature. He was so good looking he attracted probably too many women and not necessarily all of the kind best suited to him. The happiness Walters refers to in his marriage has been contradicted by more than one thing I've read. Ultimately, the loss of this Son of America was a painful thing not only to the nation, but to all those of us who liked and respected him.

[@sandraatkins2539]

Yes he was one absolutely handsome man. Those who labeled him the hunk were simply jealous. I don't blame his mother for telling him he was not going to be an actor. Someone has to maintain standards of decency in this depraved society. Hollywood would have been waiting to destroy him. His very humble attitude added to his attractiveness. Say what you will about First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. We must give her credit for raising two intelligent, humble, classy children. KUDOS Mrs. Kennedy for being a great mother.

[@stephanielee9407]

John Kennedy Junior died of hubris. Didn’t think he needed instrument training to fly to Hyannis Port. Found out too late that he did. Killed himself, his wife, and sister by marriage. Yes, it was a tragedy, of his own making.

If his mother was alive he never would have been in that plan, in fact he never would have learned to fly. The Airport was very much at fault because they should have shut the airport down due to such bad weather.

The name Arabella just gave me the willies on my skin. Arabella is the granddaughter of President Trump. There is a lot to all of this story that I am now suspicious. OMG. Now I am wondering if JFK Jr. might be alive and knew who killed his father and now all the arrests of the Bush family and the Clintons.

They were wrong about a few things here: one, the magazine George was not successful, in fact it was failing at the time of his death. Furthermore, his marriage with Carolyn was also on the rocks. She was deeply unhappy living with the constant strain of the paparazzi's and she had a cocaine problem. Peter Jennings thinking that John Jr's memory would outlive Diana's is also wrong: we hear about Diana all the time, most notably just yesterday with the celebration of what would have been her 60th birthday. As for John, we never hear about him at all. He is largely forgotten. And that's because other than being the son of a President and being a heart-throb, he accomplished nothing with his life. There is no legacy.

OOPs Barbara. His family did NOT call him John John. He said on video that his dad was calling him and just repeated his name (probably to get his attention) and that some journalist heard that and he was dubbed John John by the press. His family called him John. John said in his Stern interview that he only met Madonna at a party and they spoke for a couple of minutes. The relationship WAS just a rumor. Bull shit speculation -- how would his mother cope with this death if she were alive. Puleeese, Barbara. It's SO not a factor. It would be nice if here were still here doing EXACTLY what HE wanted to do (not only what others want of him).

What a lack of research and poor reporting saying that JFK Jr attended his father's funeral and stepped forward to salute his father's casket as it went by creating one of the most famous photographs/images in American history a few days shy of his 3rd birthday. His father's funeral wasn't a few days shy of John's bday, it was ON his 3rd bday, adding even more sadness to w)hat was already one of the most tragic events in our nation's history. It was very well known that after all of the events of that day (November 25, 1963) Jackie returned home to the White House and with a close group of friends and family still celebrated John's birthday with a small party....I don't know why, but her getting that wrong in this story/report really irked and annoyed me because these are extremely easy facts to look up and double check on. How did no one catch that glaring error when writing the script for the narration, when recording the narration and voice overs, or in the entire editing process! For me, after I heard that error the entire creditability for the whole story was gone for me, if they got that very simple fact completely wrong, then what else did they not check on or research properly and are completely wrong on but present it as "fact" to the American people?!?
