So fabulous India, thank you! Imagine how much easier life would have been for all of them if they remained single & not married. Being single is a gift.
Yes, being single is the gift all right. Here I am at 61 knowing this only because most of my misery was caused from seeking love now I’m fine being alone but when I was younger, I wanted companionship so badly and I do remember that feeling of loneliness, I’d like to say if I had to do over again, I would do differently. But I honestly don’t know . That intense pain of loneliness I remember, I can relate to these women.
if your rich & have plenty of family &friends & MONEY , but if "YOUR TRULY" single & have ABSILUTELY NOONE THEN IITS NOT AGIFT YOU HAVE TO TOTAL rely on yourself & do everything by yourself , it is both very very very lonely & boting
India, this presentation was, as usual, masterful. I knew when you covered one of my favorite people--Natacha--that I found a kindred spirit. You gave depth and renewed life to both ladies, along with the sensitivity and respect they didn't always receive. I also appreciate those slashings of humor when needed! I found myself feeling more akin to Doris' artistic leanings, yet sympathetic to the hungry romantic soul of Barbara. One can imagine what it could be like to live within the world so insulated and apart, with all the hurt and pain that makes us human. With the unrelenting eyes of the world forever on you.
Thank you for this wonderful comment! I'm so glad you liked the video! By the end of making it I felt I had gone on a journey with Doris and Barbara, it's so sad that despite all their wealth and power in the end they were both badly treated toward the end.
I grew up in Hawaii, and went to University of Hawaii at Manoa early '80's. I used to go buddy boarding off Diamond Head right outside Shangri La. Now it is a museum of Doris's collection of Islamic Art, Culture and Design. I did not know anything about it until now.Thank you! Funny, I ended up married to an Iranian.
Poverty of morality. 👍 Predators & parasites exist in EVERY lvl, however, it's hard to con a conman, so people learn to see thru people early on when raising up thru the ranks from financial poverty, character morality can be learned, if smart. So important to teach our kids how to learn. Love & poor or rich & lonely. Pretty sure most would pick the "other side of the fense". Connection is so important.
Remarkable! I was riveted and moved by your wonderful telling of the stories of these "poor little rich girls." I didn't resent them and only wished that they had had better people in their lives, people who would have truly protected them. And mostly, I wish that Doris Duke had stayed with Duke Kahanamoku, kept those children and lived happily ever after.
Very well done India, I applaud you. I knew the stories and the outcome, yet I was still transfixed. No, money does not buy happiness. These two women paid their dues, I hope they found peace.
I have to tell you again, how much I enjoy your channel. The amount of research you put into these biographies, as well as your presentations, are better than anything I’ve seen elsewhere. Simply magnificent 😊
this is a wonderful documentary. your storytelling ability and melodic voice are so appreciated in a time when many people toss out half assed wikipedia summaries and call them documentaries. i really enjoyed this, i hope you make more, though i understand more 3 hour videos would be incredibly draining. thank you.
I found the amount of work put into this absolutely astounding. Brilliant. Slightly bothered by mispronunciations and a rushed, robotic narration style. A lovely voice though, and she doesn't mumble.
Woooow I’m very impressed with the Duke Family! That’s literally amazing to me that they pushed for POC and women to be included in the collective spaces. Given the time and how much money they had that’s AMAZING.
Bravo! A compelling and immensely enjoyable watch! This was so well-written, narrated and documented! Incidentally, my head is swimming with the number of marriages and divorces between the two!
Thrilled to find your channel!! Im now awaiting all of your content... thank you for your in depth analysis of history of interesting and thorough filmographies..
Odd that the two women would be “rivals.” Doris Duke was quite homely but apparently a thoughtful, generous and interesting person. Barbara Hutton actually rather fragile and pretty in her youth but without much depth. as a person. The two women were nothing alike. Rivals are usually rivals because they're much alike.
Rivals are often rivals because they are in competition or the "running" for the same man, title, job, region, home purchase, recognition and adoration.....
I have such fond and nostalgic memories of browsing through the Woolworth store in Titusville, Pennsylvania. We would then have a grilled cheese or tuna sandwich at the lunch counter... ❤️
THIS NEEDS TO BE A MADE FOR TV MOVIE ON HBO!! A SEVERAL PARTS SERIES! WOW!!! WHAT A HEYELL OF A LIFE FOR BOTH OF THESE WOMEN! I WONDER ARE THERE DISTANT RELATIVES STILL ALIVE?
Chilllle they was cutting up during the gilded age, I would’ve never guessed they were doing all this dirt back then I thought it was so much more conservative. 14:32
I'm always surprised by how wild people's lives were back then! I think the rich have always lived crazy lives and the average person was more conservative in the past
What a fascinating, comprehensive documentary. Great work! As interesting as Barbara and Doris were, in many ways they lived shallow, vapid lives. To think of all the millions of dollars spent on eccentricity and over-the-top luxuries that served only themselves and the “friends” and frenemies who were using them. It’s pitiful that these women were trying to buy love and admiration-especially from men who swindled and abused them. If Doris & Barbara had used the money they spent on worthless husbands and ungrateful family/friends for something meaningful like building schools and shelters, establishing better working conditions & services for their employees and community, they could have found more stable happiness and made such a huge, positive impact on society. I realize these women did establish some important organizations and were generous with their wealth, but far too much money was squandered on bad men, bitter rivalries, empty gestures, and poor decisions. 😔
The photograph that you show at 22.09, claiming it is Barbara's mother! Is not a photograph of Edna Woolworth (1883-1917) Edna was only 34 years old when she died!!! She was also an acknowledged beauty, does that photograph look like a picture of a 34 year old woman? Edna died in 1917!!! Look at the clothes of the lady in the photograph? Do they resemble the fashions of 1917?? Of course not!! The photograph is a very well know picture of Barbara's aunt, Jessie May Woolworth Donahue (1886-1971)!!! I would suggest you check all your sources and materials before using them in your videos. On a positive note, your video is really very good, regarding detail and other photographic evidence.
Apologies, it's the only image I could find that is meant to be Edna aside from the one that is supposedly her and Barbara. It was uploaded to Find A Grave.com. The pages on there are usually uploaded by relations. I researched all the information in this video for months, and it's all from well reviewed biographies, but sometimes the photos might not be exactly correct.
@@indiascarlett Thanks for the reply, I understand, I just wanted to let you know, sometimes it's best to apply common sense, as there is a lot of misinformation out there, that is why I give Edna's age at the time of her death, the photo, the clothes, they could not possibly be of a 34 year old woman, on or before the date of 1917. It was constructive feedback. Otherwise, as I said your video was very good, I enjoyed it as I am an avid fan of Barbara. I appreciate the time you took to make the video. Thank you.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I love being as detailed as possible (and interesting) and it's great when people appreciate the research! Too much ai content nowadays 🩷🩷🩷
I have always (usually) driven a car with a gear stick... The 1st time I drove an automatic, I hit the brake by accident (no clutch) not the "gas".......
I'm 64, learned on a manual transmission, drive them exclusively, have plenty of vehicles around me that are automatics, have never mistakenly hit the brakes for the clutch😂😂😂😂
I can about guarantee you no one who was raised in the Utica area was wearing “cowboy boots.” Work boots? Sure. Winter boots? Absolutely. Utica used to get colder than it gets now and cowboy boots aren’t gonna cut it.
It’s so nasty how they made whole article about a young girl to call her ugly. It’s baffling. If she was to live today, her presence would have plastered all over IG. Elegance coming from her tall stature would be show stopping. Doris was ahead of her time.

Who was your favourite, Barbara or Doris?
WOWOWOW!!!!! Walking in another world is so eye-opening. Character truly is made thru struggle. Only character is trustworthy.
So fabulous India, thank you! Imagine how much easier life would have been for all of them if they remained single & not married. Being single is a gift.
Indeed it is! I kept thinking each time Barbara remarried how on earth she could be bothered! Glad you enjoyed the video, ❤️
my thoughts exactly

Thank you.
I have watched several long form videos about Doris and Barbara, and this is the best by far. The time flew by!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I also have a video on the Mdivani family
@@indiascarlett I've just finished that. It was also fabulous.
That’s Cab Calloway playing at Barbara’s 1930 ball! To be a fly on the wall. Amazing job! The images and film clips are wonderful!
I noticed that!
I saw Cab Calloway in 1992 on the 4th of July on the US Capitol Lawn. He must have been in his 80s but he sang and danced. Great show!
@ that’s so funny… I saw him around that time at the Kennedy Center. He must’ve been on his last tour. I do remember him having so much energy!

Happy to have found a channel that does hours long deep dives on topics I’ve never heard of before, can’t wait to watch this video!
Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy it!
Struggle is so integral to humanity that lack of struggle becomes a form of poverty. In most cases, it is replaced with perversion and corruption.
Poverty of morality. 👍 Predators & parasites exist in EVERY lvl, however, it's hard to con a conman, so people learn to see thru people early on when raising up thru the ranks from financial poverty, character morality can be learned, if smart. So important to teach our kids how to learn.
Love & poor or rich & lonely. Pretty sure most would pick the "other side of the fense". Connection is so important.
Well said
What a thorough and beautiful report. With all this fortune came so much misery, heartbreak and betrayal.
incredible, incredible, incredible. this documentary is a JEWEL. I’m speechless. utter perfection-!!!!!!
Thank you so much! 💓

Thank you so much! 💓

Most impressive documentary
Woooow I’m very impressed with the Duke Family! That’s literally amazing to me that they pushed for POC and women to be included in the collective spaces. Given the time and how much money they had that’s AMAZING.
Agree,those times,especially.
👏👏👏Very well done. These two women had sad lives.
Great presentation. Thank you ❤
Amazing! So, so, so much information! I was hooked from jump! Cleaned my livingroom.
So glad you enjoyed it! I love cleaning while watching youtube as well!
Absolutely brilliant.
Well done India.
Bravo! A compelling and immensely enjoyable watch! This was so well-written, narrated and documented! Incidentally, my head is swimming with the number of marriages and divorces between the two!

Absolutely brilliant documentary as always. Thank you. ❤
I havent watched It yet but I click like because I know its going to be a great deal

Rivals are often rivals because they are in competition or the "running" for the same man, title, job, region, home purchase, recognition and adoration.....
Clearly you have a "different " version of homely than others
This was amazing I rarely hang into something this long but the pace was fairly quick as I followed and the story compelling.
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
Great work. Sad lives & exhausting to watch.
A horror and sad story, thank you.
Briiliant, thank you India. ✌🏽
I have such fond and nostalgic memories of browsing through the Woolworth store in Titusville, Pennsylvania. We would then have a grilled cheese or tuna sandwich at the lunch counter... ❤️
Same, I’ love Woolworth use to work there too.
I really really enjoy your long deep dive formats. Please, keep them coming! And thank you for your work and research. Much appreciated!
Thank you so much!
Great video x
Your videos are just wonderful, thank you for sharing with us! ❤
Thank you! ❤️
Really interesting!.. thank you.. 😊
Excellent. ❤ Thank you.
Absolutely wonderful documentary 👏 ❤️
Thank you so much! ❤
THIS NEEDS TO BE A MADE FOR TV MOVIE ON HBO!! A SEVERAL PARTS SERIES! WOW!!! WHAT A HEYELL OF A LIFE FOR BOTH OF THESE WOMEN! I WONDER ARE THERE DISTANT RELATIVES STILL ALIVE?
I want a show of this so badly!
Its almost impossible to believe that both these ladies spending did not bankrupt them way before they died.
Great story,this was great!
That lady killed Buck. Damn shame. She starved him and froze him to death.
So cruel
i hope u don't mind a time stamp. thank you for the video. verry well made❤
38:03
Thank you so much! Glad you are enjoying the video! ❤️
Chilllle they was cutting up during the gilded age, I would’ve never guessed they were doing all this dirt back then I thought it was so much more conservative. 14:32
I'm always surprised by how wild people's lives were back then! I think the rich have always lived crazy lives and the average person was more conservative in the past
@@indiascarlett you might have a point! Thank you so much for your videos. I’m really impressed and I’m going to be watching all of these. lol

I enjoyed this immensely other than the annoying Harris political ads that you can’t skip! Thank you
Thank you and sorry about the ads!
Nanaline killed that man. Poison or no.
44:30 just my place marker. This is long, but great. I want to finish it.
I really didn't think I would listen to the whole.
But with your presentation NO ai ,and research,I couldn't not listen to all your video.
Thank You
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I love being as detailed as possible (and interesting) and it's great when people appreciate the research! Too much ai content nowadays 🩷🩷🩷
@@indiascarlett Doris for sure. I have small story of Doris
11:35 wow!
Unless!? They are musicians!? Or!? Professional musicians and artists
You can have it all but have nothing at all
Awesome video could you seperate the 2 girls and do a video of each ? I got confused whi was with who 😮
I have always (usually) driven a car with a gear stick... The 1st time I drove an automatic, I hit the brake by accident (no clutch) not the "gas".......
I'm 64, learned on a manual transmission, drive them exclusively, have plenty of vehicles around me that are automatics, have never mistakenly hit the brakes for the clutch😂😂😂😂
Like in many cases, money ruins so many things..
..too many relationships, promiscuity...and moving constantly, not settling down....sad
I can about guarantee you no one who was raised in the Utica area was wearing “cowboy boots.” Work boots? Sure. Winter boots? Absolutely. Utica used to get colder than it gets now and cowboy boots aren’t gonna cut it.
They are also both Scorpios
Wow! That’s all I can say…. glad I’m ME.
❤
Philanthropist suggestions....like paying employees. Ugh! All of these people are so gross. Wow.
“India Scarlett? “. Is there a Rhett in this scenario?
Haha! I am named after gone with the wind!
It’s so nasty how they made whole article about a young girl to call her ugly. It’s baffling. If she was to live today, her presence would have plastered all over IG. Elegance coming from her tall stature would be show stopping. Doris was ahead of her time.
I can’t choose which one was more insufferable. 😂
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Gosh, they may have had pots of money, but they were extremely low class and cheap.
I wonder why Barbara Hutton didn't give Woolworths employees a raise?
Great commentary, but are you in a speed reading and speed talking competition? Slow down honey❤
Mad and tragic
Woah, Trump owns Barbara Huttons old home. Their lives could not be more opposite.
No one asked you! Trump 2024😂
Good gossiping.
I don’t have any interest about English culture!??
I have no idea about anyone or anything from England!???
Doris, what a horrible woman
I think they were both pretty rotten
Duke done in by insulin shots
That was actually Sunny von Bulow
Please
Thought Gary Cooper was gay!
Doris Duke did not grow up to be very pretty
I don't buy any of it!
I have no interest of anyone from England!?
This video is about American born heiresses in New York. Did you listen to it?
Toooo many ads!!!! Sick of it. I’m not paying more for this stuff. So stop it. I’ll go somewhere else if it doesn’t improve.
