Doris Duke Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
It was very informative and much different than any movies I've seen on her life. I really enjoyed it.
Trust No One
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
After touring Doris Duke's summer home in Newport, RI, I became increasing intrigued with Ms. Duke. So I sought a book about her life and I came across Trust No One. At first, I felt the initial chapters were plodding and dry, but I realized after reading a few chapters this foundation was needed to understand the woman Doris Duke became. The first chapters did a thorough background on Doris' father and mother, Buck and Nanaline Duke. Doris' father was the love of her life and he taught her how to become an astute business woman before he died when she was 13 years old. Doris Duke was a very complex woman. She was a philanthropist, and a very saavy businesswoman who multiplied her fortune by billions. She was also an avid art collector, a self-taught botanist and, last but not least, a fine jazz musician. Doris was also very flawed: she was an alcoholic; a drug abuser; and, was anorexic. All of this is explained in great detail in the book. It was factual, but yet there was a human side to the story, and I found it to be a great read. In the end, money cannot buy happiness or love - not even for Doris Duke. (Written by Kathee Duncan)
A Must Read...Much More Depth and Substance than the Movie
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I had a spark of interest about Doris Duke and the life that she lived, prior to the movie. I watched the movie and compared it will this book, which this book provides alot more information and detail that was left out of the movie. I feel you will enjoy this book and get a better look inside her life with the important details that the movie had no time to present or address.
