Unlucky Stars

Their fates have changed, but somethings will always remain the same. Every year birthdays come and go. Will our heiresses celebrate and make a wish for a better tomorrow?

Away at their boarding schools, Barbara Hutton and Doris Duke are ignored and forgotten on their birthdays. Eventually, Barbara celebrates with her loyal servants, while Doris gets a visit with her brother Walker Inman. Meanwhile both girls are unaware that several classmates won’t be returning after the holidays.

Other people and subjects include: November 1929, Fermata, Prince Alexis Mdivani, governess Ticki, famous births of rich heirs and heiresses, Jakey Astor, Evalyn Walsh McLean, William Randolph Hearst, Louise Van Alen, complication of sorting out historical dates, zodiac & astrology, horoscope, Catherine de Medici & Nostradamus, birthday song copyright, and the desire to predict the future during unstable times.
