JFK Jr: The Man Behind The Myth, Ep. 6 -- Sexiest Man Alive

In Episode 6 of “JFK Jr: The Man Behind The Myth,” John F. Kennedy Jr. is all grown up, and now America's most eligible bachelor.

People Magazine heralded him as "the sexiest man alive" of 1988 -- an issue that sold more copies than any other in the magazine's history. His matinee-idol good looks utterly captivated women, and John gave them what they wanted every time he whipped off his shirt in public, seemingly happy to let press photographers take cheesecake shots of his flawless physique.

The world's most famous women lined up to date him; from Madonna to Sarah Jessica Parker to Daryl Hannah (with whom he would have a stormy five year relationship that nearly led them to the altar twice). All the while John continued to date his old standby non-famous girlfriends like Christina Haag and Sally Munro, whom he maintained deep feelings for.

Despite his playboy reputation, John was still searching for "the one" -- and he finally met her, completely by chance, in 1993 while he was living with Daryl Hannah. Young Carolyn Bessette was the girl that struck him like lightning, as no other woman had affected John before.

He was also looking for a career path. John spent four years working as an Assistant D.A. in Manhattan, and as a clerk in President Ronald Reagan's Justice Department. He flirted with the #Kennedy family business of nonprofit philanthropy as he worked to improve the lives of those less fortunate in New York City, and made his stunning political debut as a featured speaker at the 1988 Democratic National Convention.

In the late 80s and early 90s, the world truly was John's oyster. It seemed that he was on track for a bright future in whatever he wanted to do. John was still figuring out his life path, in no great rush, and simply enjoying the ride. After all, being #JFKJr was a lot of fun (as he freely admitted)!

Then, John's perfect world crumbled around him in late 1993, when Jacqueline Kennedy #Onassis was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. And once again -- as he had so many times before in his young life -- John prepared to lose yet another loved one; the person who had always been closest to him; the only steadfast presence he had ever really known, his mother.
