MILLION DOLLAR BABY An Intimate Portrait of Barbara Hutton by Philip Van Rensselaer
"Million Dollar Baby is an intimate and exclusive portrait of Barbara Hutton, America's most famous heiress - a 'poor little rich girl' doomed to failure and tragedy. Philip Van Rensselaer was her companion and confidant.
Here he dramatically recreates the events of her life as she related the stories to him, in a book that captures the extravagance and glamor of the International Set.
Though she was married to a handsome Russian prince, a dazzling Danish count, and to the most sought-after actor in the world, Cary Grant, Barbara Hutton was a vulnerable woman, haunted by loneliness. Her mother committed suicide and her father was cold and indifferent.
Million Dollar Baby traces the rise and fall of a confused, lovely, talented woman, the toast of 2 continents, who, after 7 marriages and a string of love affairs, lived out her last years as a recluse in a lavish suite in a Beverly hills hotel." - from the dust jacket.
