John F. Kennedy Jr., the famous son whose life began as a fairy tale and ended as a tragedy, will be the subject of a TBS biopic to star Jacqueline Bisset and Portia de Rossi as the two key women in his life, his mother and his wife. "America's Prince: The JFK Jr. Story," from Fox TV Studios, is based on Christopher Andersen's 2000 biography "The Day John Died." Bisset will play Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, while de Rossi will portray Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. The project from FTVS' Fox TV Pictures division is in preproduction. "America's Prince" is one of two JFK Jr. TV biopics in the works, along with CBS' telefilm based on Richard Blow's biography "American Son," in the early stages of development. The TBS project will be the first to reach the screen in a December 2002-January 2003 premiere. TBS and Fox TV Studios are still searching for an actor to play JFK Jr.

YES!! Where was the barf alert?? Three tries on the bar exam; what a genius. Flies a plane without enough training and kills. Another Kennedy success story.

America's Prince

That pretty much sums up my disdain for the Kennedy family. (well, that and the fact that they are almost all unprinicipled leftist pigs)

Last time I checked, we fought a revolution over, among other things, the concept of royalty, which seems to escape the morons who fawn over the cretins of the Kennedy clan...
