While watching "Dead Poets Society" today, out of nowhere, JFK Jr. popped in my mind, then wondered if he had seen it. Was a random thought and I forgot about it.

… ‘I just don’t understand having to acquiesce to your mom’s decision for you.’ Turned out, he was … that was … that was … that was John Kennedy Jr. … Amazingly sweet guy. And he loved the movie so much, he was like, that was like watching, his life’s story. … I think about six months later, I was working on a film in Chicago with Christina. [laughter] Small world, small world. … But you, I mean, you [the writer, Tom Schulman] changed his life as well. I mean, the guy was choked up talking about how you captured his life, Tom. … Sweet guy, totally unassuming. I didn’t know it was him until afterwards. Somebody walked up to me and said, ‘You know who you were talking to?’ I said, ‘No.’ … Yeah, John Jr., John-John.”

Hey, friend! 🙂 Have to stand up for Jr. here though to say that he was never an addict of anything (except extreme sports 😉 ) and was not a gambler (he watched his money very closely).
