Christopher Lawford

Christopher Kennedy Lawford carried an almost impossibly heavy legacy, the son of actor Peter Lawford and a Kennedy, yet what moves me about him is not the famous name but his candor. An actor, producer, author, and activist, he spoke openly about his struggles with addiction and turned that pain into advocacy that helped others. I respect anyone who trades the comfort of privilege for honesty, and he chose to use his Harvard-trained mind on something harder than fame. His death in 2018 was a real loss, and I keep coming back to that rare willingness to be truthful.
