Memorable Moments

Oprah says she will always remember John F. Kennedy Jr. for his humility and graciousness. "His mother raised him right!" she says.

In her interview with the crown prince of America's "royal family," John shared a memory of his father. "I remember he used to call me Sam to annoy me," John says with a smile. "I'd say, 'My name's not Sam—it's John!' He'd say, 'I'm sorry, Sam.'"

One unanticipated outcome of the John F. Kennedy Jr. interview was a makeover of the Oprah Show set. When the chair left lint all over John's handsome suit, Oprah was mortified and immediately had it recovered in yellow leather—a look that would be used for years.
