His very name is a magical blend of political royalty and Hollywood celebrity. And while it’s true that Christopher Kennedy Lawford was born into a world of rare privilege—the son of actor Peter Lawford and JFK’s sister Pat—he squandered every opportunity and fell into a lifetime of addiction. Now 50 and sober for 18 years, he talks about the first time he tried drugs at age 13 with his cousin David (RFK’s son); his parents’ messy divorce; rubbing elbows with Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland; parties at the Playboy Mansion; his father’s psychosis and death which profoundly changed Chris’s life; his acting gig on All My Children—and how he was booted off the show (even his connections with Arnold Schwarzenegger couldn’t save him); his failed marriage; and what it took for him to finally beat his addiction. “You don’t have to care about Kennedys to find this a moving tale of self-discovery and redemption.”—Publishers Weekly
