I know many will say "who"?
She starred in movies like Operation Petticoat (the beautiful blonde) among others, and lived a full life to 93.
But what makes her interesting is that she was certainly the wealthiest woman in Hollywood, and maybe the wealthiest person period. Her dad was EF Hutton, her mom was the heir to the Post Cereal fortune. When she decided to pursue her career, she took $10 modeling jobs to make ends meet and took no money from her family, who at the time were wealthy enough that they owned Mar-A-Lago, which they later sold to Trump. When she changed her name to a stage name she used her dads friend to choose one, the guy from Merrill Lynch,
When she died she was worth north of five billion dollars. Somewhere too I think Glenn Close is connected to the family.
Fascinating life.
