Camelot’s crown prince gets the Hollywood treatment: JFK Jr.’s glitzy life, tragic end, and magazine mogul dreams are hitting CNN screens this weekend.
The three-part series American Prince: JFK Jr. premieres Aug. 9 at 5 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET on CNN, streaming with DIRECTV. Expect all the drama: JFK Jr.’s cursed family legacy, his paparazzi romance with Carolyn Bessette, and his bold foray into the ‘90s media circus with George magazine.
The doc is stuffed with famous faces — Cindy Crawford, Robert De Niro, Graydon Carter — plus never-seen footage that’ll make you nostalgic for pre-smartphone scandals. Spoiler: it doesn’t shy away from the plane crash that ended Camelot 2.0.
If you want to relive the Kennedy fairytale turned tabloid tragedy, all you need is DIRECTV’s trial (five free days of Camelot chaos) and a box of tissues.
