Heiress to the American Tobacco Company, Doris Duke, had a lot going for her. She did seem quite unlucky in love however. So, she gave up on love and took a gay, Italian decorator as her bestie, confidant and companion. His name, Eduardo Tirella. When he told Doris he was in love with a man on the west coast, he thought she would be thrilled for him. She was anything but thrilled.
