Doris Duke was the heiress to the famous Duke family fortune. She is known for her vivacious and eccentric personality, her philanthropy, and her horticulture and art collecting skills. She started the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation as well as the Newport Restoration Foundation, which preserved many historic buildings in New England. Although Duke was one of the wealthiest women in the country, she did not enjoy fame, and often hid from the public eye.Biography: Duke Biography (1912-1993)
