''Too Rich: The Secret Life of Doris Duke'' is a four-part miniseries that was first broadcast on CBS in 1999 starring Lauren Bacall and Richard Chamberlain. It was based primarily on the book ''The Richest Girl In The World:'' by Stephanie Mansfield (Pinnacle Books issued a special movie tie-in edition of the book in February 1999)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Too Rich: the Secret Life of Doris Duke (1999) - Overview - TCM.com )〕 as well as Bob Colacello's two in-depth articles about Ms. Duke in ''Vanity Fair''. Colacello was the magazine's authority on Doris Duke. The title of the series was derived from the book ''Too Rich: The Family Secrets of Doris Duke'' by Pony Duke and Jason Thomas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Too Rich: The Secret Life of Doris Duke (TV Movie 1999) - IMDb )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Duke biopic ignites controversy - NY Daily News )〕 Manfield's book was the first to be obtained by CBS, which optioned it for a planned miniseries in early 1995.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=http://articles.nydailynews.com/1995-07-13/gossip/17978873_1_richard-kuh-duke-estate-bernard-lafferty )〕 The Duke-Thomas book, which was "being peddled as a miniseries" by the authors months before publication (it was not published until December 1995),〔 was originally optioned earlier that year by the producer Doris Keating, who planned a miniseries of her own. ''Too Rich: The Secret Life of Doris Duke'' presents a dramatized account of the life of the heiress, philanthropist, and once richest woman in the world, Doris Duke. It has since been re-broadcast on The Hallmark Channel, and on Lifetime combined together and presented as a 192-minute movie. The film stars Hayden Panettiere as young Doris Duke, Lindsay Frost as 20- to 50-year-old Doris Duke, and Lauren Bacall as an elderly Doris Duke. Bacall, who had met Doris Duke a few times, was pleased to have been able to appear in a TV miniseries, devoting a few paragraphs to the experience in her autobiography. While Bacall, Chamberlain and Frost were highly praised for their roles, most reviews of the miniseries were generally unfavorable.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Breaking, World, US & Local News - nydailynews.com - NY Daily News )〕 The ''Orlando Sentinel'' went so far as to say: "If the real Duke were talking, a curse on the filmmakers would be likely."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Too Rich, Too Cheesy - Too Bad - tribunedigital-orlandosentinel )〕 Another film about the relationship between Duke and Lafferty, ''Bernard and Doris'', directed by Bob Balaban and starring Susan Sarandon and Ralph Fiennes, was released in 2007 to much greater critical acclaim, receiving three Golden Globe and ten Emmy nominations. ==Plot outline== Doris Duke, the famous real-life billionairess, is seen going over her life as she prepares to die. Her life includes the early death of her loving father, being raised by a cold mother, two marriages and numerous affairs that still leave her hungry for love, a fascination with mystics and reincarnation, and a disastrous adoption late in life.
