@katiecouric : Today is the 20th anniversary of the plane crash that claimed the lives of John F. Kennedy Jr., Carolyn Bessette and her sister, Lauren Bessette. A couple of months before his death, I sat down with John F. Kennedy Jr. on the @todayshow for what would turn out to be his last TV interview. I remember being so excited to interview him because like so many others, I had a giant crush on him! On the day of our interview, he rode his bike to the studio at 30 Rock, which was pretty typical for him. Speaking with John on camera, he was kind, self-effacing, and surprisingly open. He spoke freely about a lot of very personal things, from his relationship with his mother, to whether he thought his father would be proud of his career. I’ll never forget when, two month later, on a Saturday in July 1999, my late sister Emily called me to say that John had died in a plane crash. Three lives ended that night; so heartbreaking for their families. But for the country, the hope and promise of Camelot seemed to be extinguished for good. #jfk #johnfkennedyjr
