@ForcedAgenda Whatever! Barbara is, was, and always will be the greatest society Diva of all times! What is a "second aunt"? Sounds like she might have been your great aunt. Did you even know her? She was totally misunderstood and a victim of the press. Yes, she spent a lot of money. However, she gave a lot of it away to very worthy causes and people. Nuts indeed!
@jgc2169 "Whatever"? Call my aunt (yes second as in 2nd generation and yes "great aunt") what you will, but I think I know "about her" more than you do! My grandfather (Robert Hutton-Barbara's cousin), wrote a book about Hollywood and the original copy is my mom's basement. The book was never published because my grandfather passed away. This book contains details about my "great aunt" and my mother tells me stories that are quite sad actually.
@jgc2169 Just because you think it's cool to "live like a diva" and appear to be a philanthropist, doesn't mean she wasn't sad, lonely and an addict, not to mention out her mind by the end. She wasn't a "victim". She made poor choices. Too much money inherited, she couldn't handle it, literally. But please, do tell me what my aunt was all about...your the expert I'm sure...
@BiancaHvidore My mother was just talking to me about Barbara the other day, which is why I looked her up on YouTube. I know she was once a Bellevue resident. I am only 40 yrs old and so I never met her of course, but she was my mothers aunt. I'll have to ask her if she has any personal stories, but I think my mom was also too young. I wish I could have asked my grandfather, Robert Hutton what she was all about. He would have talked my ear off!
@hjb103055@hjb103055. We'll for several reasons. Firstly its refreshing to see period images set to contemporary music. Secondly, Hutton was a modern forward thinking woman who would have appreciated it, and thirdly the lyrics ring true, it is about the isolation of great wealth, 'Papa i'ma Milionaire, but 'Sax 5th Ave don't sell affection', etc.
Ultimately that is one of the great lessons we can draw from her life.
@hjb103055 Read her biography... 1 of the most indulgent women ever. Barbara surrounded herself with a consortium of fawning parasites, European titles, broken-down Hollywood types, a maharajah or 2, a sheikh, the military, English peers & tennis bums. She loved spending pa-pas $-$. She treated jewellers Cartier, Asprey, Van Cleef & Arpels like others buy her grandpas 5&10 .
One lover, after much energy and ingenuity, said she was incapable of being satisfied.
She was married 8 times, she was a drug addict, and anorexic. She attempted suicide at least once and her mother committed suicide. Her only child died in a plane crash in his 30s. On the other hand, she could have become a philanthropist like Doris Duke. She spent lavishly and needlessly. She married Cary Grant, who loved her son Lance and did what he could for him, even though she neglected him. People who knew her said she was very pretty. She could have done so much more with her life
to have that amount of money and just go through it buying millions of dollars in jewelry, and husbands - and just a very heavy lifestyle that ended up being filled with nothing at the end.....
maybe it is true that money cant buy you happiness, but you should try fullfilment in other directions.......
(cont) Her wealth gave her privileges few can even imagine. She had a blast. She didn't have to put up with anyone telling her what to do, so she didn't. Maybe she only had $3500 left in the bank when she died, but she lived out her final days in the largest suite at the Beverly Wilshire with a 24-hour staff. She still had millions in jewels and Sidi Hosni when she died. I hardly call that broke. I look at her as an example of an independent woman who did what she wanted--bully for her.
I really enjoy watching this video. I've long been fascinated with Barbara Hutton; I'm not sure why, maybe I knew her in a previous life? For whatever reason, I relate to her on some level. I get tired of hearing how unhappy her life was and how she was on this endless quest to find true romance. That's bull. Sure, she had downs, we all do, but she had a ton of happy, exciting things in her life. She lived life the way she wanted, which was rare for any woman of that generation.
Love this- thanks, a wonderful presentation- I love reading about her and her fascinating life- recently visited woodlaw cemetry where her family crypt is and laid some flowers there.
Thanks for putting this together. Great job! But the lyrics in that song and the male "vocalist" were somewhere between nauseating and laughable. Genuine musicians, and in BH's day, have talent. Three year olds can rhyme. What a joke. " Where ever there are cats there are dogs.If you got the dogs you got bitches.
Bitches Always out to put their paws on your riches.If you got riches,you got glitches.
If you got glitches in your life computer turn it off and then reboota." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
BiancaHvidore, thank you for creating this, its really amazing. Barbara had been taken advantage of by so many people, mostly men she married. Whats most incredible is the jewelry she acquired. You can see some of them in various books on Cartier, I saw a fabulous Tortoise shell & diamond hair comb by Cartier in person a few years ago at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. No one today has taste like that.
i understand what your saying 100%! she did make alot of bad choices in her love life! but the only reason i replied to your first comment was it sounded like you were saying she did nothing with her money when she did. alot of people think she was a spoiled salfish little rich girl whitch she was but thats all she knew no one in her whole childhood told her differant!
she did give alot to others a hell of alot! thats one of the reasons she did die broke! she gave millions to the war for america not to mension houses and loans to the president during the depression! america owes her greatly. google her bio its a good read! she is probley one of the saddest figures of the 20 century! her greatest down fall was giving to much to others it ended her life to soon!
Fantastic... Nice to see I'm not alone in remembering someone who's life we could all learn many lessons from. She is the reason we all know the term "Poor Little Rich Girl" she was the epitomy of wealth and it's shortcomings.What a fabulous life she must have led at times though.On her death bed when she asked who'll look at her life and ask where did it get her? Well it got her on youtube and in many people's memories.May she finally have some peace in her life now that she is at rest! x.NKB.x
She was hot? Then you don´t know her history. She has never been happy. Never-loved, not-too-beautifull girl, never-loved by her father, anorexic, drug-addict...she is the "poor little rich girl"
She may have had the problems you mention, but that doesn't mean her entire life was unhappy. It's easy to pick out the bad and assume noone could have enjoyed living that life, but you're wrong. I experienced loss and absentee parents when i was young, but I don't look back at my childhood as unhappy. I've had many unfortunate things happen in my life, but they haven't defined me. I'm still blessed and enjoy what I do have---which is more than most. I think she had a blast.
I love what Barbara use to say when people asked how she feels" She would say; Like millions."
