American noted family after her 9/21/1996 marriage to John F. Kennedy, Jr. on Georgia’s remote Cumberland Island. A six foot blonde, a size six, she is classy and Catholic. A coltish former Calvin Klein executive and 1988 graduate of Boston University, six years younger than John, Carolyn moved into John’s book-filled loft on the lower West Side of Manhattan in an area known as Tribeca in 1995. They had met while jogging in Central Park. She was born in White Plains, NY, grew up comfortably in Greenwich and New Canaan, CT and was voted Most Beautiful Person by her high school class. Although the pair had a bit of turmoil in their relationship, they seemed to have worked things out once the paparazzi learned when to leave them alone. Jackie would have approved of Carolyn as they are both known for their fashion sense and need of privacy.
On 7/16/1999, while she and John, along with her sister Lauren were flying to Martha’s Vineyard, he reported at 9:39 PM that they were 13 miles off the coast and coming in for a landing. Moments later the radar showed the plane dropping. After a full day of searching, debris was found in the water the following afternoon, but no survivors. Her sister Lauren Bessette was born on 11/05/1964. In a eulogy read by her uncle at the memorial service on 7/24/1999, he said that Lauren was “three minutes older than her twin sister, Lisa.”
