Gorgeous, lonely, and rich, Barbara Hutton was the original million dollar baby. Having inherited the vast Woolworth fortune when she was only a child, Hutton was raised in great affluence, and even greater unhappiness. Craving affection, she burned through the money in high style, and found herself poor and alone after seven failed marriages. As one of the most famous women in the world, her divorces took place in the public eye, each adding to her isolation and misery. (official distributor synopsis)
