Member Rating:  
Originally shown in two parts, this massive TV movie adaptation of C. David Heymann's biography stars Farrah Fawcett as Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton. With two failed marriages to her credit, 29-year-old Barbara marries film idol Cary Grant (James Read), the first man who loves her for herself and not her millions. This alliance goes the way of all of Barbara's romances; there will be four more marriages, the last when Ms. Hutton is 50-years-old. Shutting herself away in her Tangiers mansion, Barbara begins her long descent into the world of booze and drugs. Poor Little Rich Girl: The Barbara Hutton Story merely skims the surface of its subject's stormy life, but Farrah Fawcett's performance commands the audience's attention throughout the film's daunting 240 minutes. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    I cannot honestly rate this movie since Blockbuster Online only gave me disc 1 of 2. This is not the first time I got disc 1 of 2 when the movie was a 2-movie disc. It is not fair that we as customers have to have a 2-movie disc count as two separate movies. If you rent movies from your local store and it is a 2-movie disc, you get two discs. I hope other customers will complain about this as well so Blockbuster Online changes that policy. Now I have to wait to see the second half of the movie after the first half has been returned.
