    None of her marriages lasted over 4 years.
    Lance Reventlow, her only child, was raised by a governess.
    She suffered from anorexia.
    She was addicted to alcohol, drugs and shopping.
    She often appeared drunk in public.

    Her father, banking mogul Franklyn Laws Hutton, was a womanizer. Her mother, Edna Woolworth, committed suicide when Barbara was just six.
    As a child her primary care giver was her governess.
    Count Curt Reventlow, her second husband, physically and verbally abused her. One incident left her hospitalized and him jailed.
