    Christopher Lawford, 63

    Christopher Lawford, son of Peter Lawford and nephew of John F. Kennedy, died Tuesday from a heart attack. His cousins say he died while working out at a yoga studio, but the location is being reported as either Los Angeles, CA or Vancouver, BC

    In addition to his prominent lineage, Lawford was best known for his acting career, with TV roles on shows including General Hospital, All My Children and Frasier, as well as film roles such as 2003’s Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.

    In his 2016 book, When Your Partner Has an Addiction: How Compassion Can Transform Your Relationship (And Heal You Both in the Process), Lawford opened up about his addiction to LSD, which he said started at age 14 and ended at age 30 when he went to rehab. He attributed his issues to his parents’ bitter divorce and the assassinations of his uncles John and Robert.

    I recently read one of his books in which he details his life growing up in the Kennedy family and his long struggle with drug addiction. In spite of his privileged background, I kind of felt sorry for him. Because of his father's infamous foibles, he and his siblings were kind of treated as second class members of the Kennedy family. His childhood was chaotic and troubled, to say the least. It took him many decades to finally get and stay sober, but he seemed committed to helping others also struggling with addiction.

    Sad to hear about his death I so remember him in the American
    show : All my children.
    Also remember Frank Sinatra was a jerk to his Dad Peter after
    the 1960 election of JFK.
    Carolyn(1958-2009) always in my heart.

    He was good friends with Robert's sons, and Sydney was a close friend of Caroline's.

    I recall Mr. Lawford from All My Children, not to mention knew him from the Kennedy clan. Sixty-three is fairly young. It's too bad, since he seemed to have his demons under control. May he RIP!

    Even if you stop using, the damage shows up when you are older. Too young. RIP.
