Poor Little Rich Girl: The Barbara Hutton Story (2008) (original) (raw)
Socialite jet-setter Barbara Hutton's life was beyond a Depression-era public's wildest dreams of glamour, after a series of inheritances of the F.W. Woolworth and E.F. Hutton fortunes at a young age made her world-famous, inspiring pop culture from hit songs to dolls. But early tragedies and a string of failed marriages, to men including movie star Cary Grant and lesser royalty, show the fairy tale of jewels and palaces gave cold comfort as Hutton went from "richest little girl in the world" to literally spending her life and dying virtually penniless and alone at age 66.
