John F. Kennedy Jr. was constantly making appearances in the papers. Dating high-profile celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker, Cindy Crawford, Daryl Hannah, and Julie Baker, Kennedy was more than familiar with the flash of a photographer. In an interview on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” Parker, a wildly famous actress, told Cohen, “I never had any idea what real fame was until I met John.” And while the unofficial prince of America was known to be charismatic and easy-going, he sometimes needed a break from the public eye.

The Kennedys’ family hairdresser, Lenny Holtzman, recounted in J. Randy Taraborrelli’s biography of the family, “The Kennedy Heirs,” that Kennedy would call Holtzman while leaving the airport in Cape Cod and ask for the most absurd favor: “I’d have to go and meet him with his bike, his wig, and a dress. He’d go into the ladies’ room and change and get on his bike and ride right past the paparazzi,” said Holtzman. 

The stunt worked seamlessly, and the crowds would have no clue that the handsome poster boy was hidden beneath his costume, according to Holtzman. Unfortunately, it was his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, who yearned the most for this kind of anonymity.
