Poor Little Rich Girl: The Barbara Hutton Story

There are few TV movies as good as "Poor Little Rich Girl" starring Farrah Fawcett. The film is biographical and at the same time interesting to the extent that one really has to ask whether money brings happiness and even more than that, whether the desire to be ordinary also brings happiness and fulfillment in life. Barbara's need for love, for humanity, despite all that money, only led her to disappointments and, in the end, to the biggest loss of her life. Perhaps the film would not have been so impressive if the lead role had not been played by the excellent Farrah Fawcett, who seemed not to be acting. Thanks to her acting, we learn not only about Barbara Hutton as one of the richest women in the world of her time, but also about one of the greatest human tragedies despite all the glamor around her.
