Huguette's Last Wish: Huguette Clark at Bellosguardo - Paperback

by Beth Leeds (Author)

Huguette Marcelle Clark was America's richest little girl. She was born in Paris, France, in 1906 to one of the richest men in the world, William Andrew Clark (think Clark County, Nevada aka Las Vegas). Aside from building the Southern Pacific Railroad with his own cash from his copper mines and establishing the town of Las Vegas, Mr. Clark built many mansions. Huguette and her mother loved Santa Barbara, California, and Bellosguardo was their ocean front estate. When her mother died in 1964, Huguette became a recluse in a hospital room with her precious dolls, in New York City.
