Kennedy Jr. and his personal assistant, a blue-collar girl from the Bronx.To everyone else, John F. Kennedy Jr. may have been American royalty, but to RoseMarie Terenzio he was an entitled nuisanceand she wasnt afraid to let him know it. RoseMarie was his personal assistant, his publicist, and one of his closest confidantes during the last five years of his life. Here she bravely recounts her own Fairy Tale Interrupted, describing the heartwarming relationship that developed between a blue-collar girl from the Bronx and a veritable prince. After John and Carolyns tragic, untimely deaths on July 16, 1999, RoseMaries whole world came crashing down around her, along with her hopes for the future. It took more than a decade before she felt ready to tell her story that is at once a moving tribute and a very real picture of her friend and employer. Many books have sought to capture John F. Kennedy Jr.s life. None has been as intimate or as honest as Fairy Tale Interrupted, a true portrait of the man behind the iconpatient, protective, surprisingly goofy, occasionally thoughtless and self-involved, yet capable of extraordinary generosity and kindness. She reveals how John and Carolyn handled media attention, the reality of life behind the scenes at George magazine, and how she dealt with the ultra-secretive planning of John and Carolyns wedding on Cumberland Islandand the heartbreak of their deaths. Fairy Tale Interrupted is a deeply loving story and a fascinating adventure, filled with warmth, humor, insight, and five years worth of unforgettable memories.
