THE HILTONS is well written and fully of juicy details. Conrad Hilton comes off as an excellent businessman if somewhat of an orgre. I was particularly interested in the books because I had done business with Congrad late in his life and had frequent business dealings with his son, Barron when he took over running the company. Conrad's marriage to ZsaZsa Gabor feels like an albatross around his neck and despite the brief marriage he could never shake her. She stayed in his life, unwilling to let go. She comes off as a real light weight. Self absorbed, superficial, unstable. She is a live at last count at 97 years of age. If you like true family sagas of the rich and the famous this book will suit you just fine. I was thrilled with it. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
The Hiltons is a sweeping saga of the success-and excess-of an iconic American family. Demanding and enigmatic, patriarch Conrad Hilton's visionary ideas and unyielding will established the model for the modern luxury hotel industry. But outside the boardroom, Conrad struggled with emotional detachment, failed marriages, and conflicted Catholicism. Then there were his children: Playboy Nicky Hilton's tragic alcoholism and marriage to Elizabeth Taylor was the stuff of tabloid legend. Barron Hilton, on the other hand, deftly handled his father's legacy, carrying the Hilton brand triumphantly into the new millennium. Eric, raised apart from his older brothers, accepted his supporting role in the Hilton dynasty with calm and quiet-a stark contrast to the boys' much younger half-sister Francesca, whose battle for recognition led her into courtrooms and conflict. The cast of supporting players includes the inimitable Zsa Zsa Gabor, who was married to Conrad briefly and remained a thorn in his side for decades, and a host of other Hollywood and business luminaries with whom the Hiltons crossed paths and swords over the years.
