6. Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart

Like Jocelyn, the Duchess too was fond of plastic surgeries as she too went through them. She is the testament to the power of true love. At the age of 85 she showed the will to marry Alfonso Diez Caranantes, he was 61 at that time. Naturally the family and the King of Spain, Juan Carlos, were not too happy with the whole ordeal. In order to make a statement that wealth had nothing to do with their love, she gave all 6 of her children their inheritance, a huge fortune that included estates, priceless artwork and even the correspondence of Christopher Columbus and renounced herself of all the wealth.

But his efforts in this sector met a deadly twist when during his experimental flight in Hughes XF-11, he himself being the pilot crashed the plane in the adjoining areas of Beverly Hills. After the accident he was completely changed, adversely that is. He spent months in a darkened screening room and did not even bath during his stay there and urinated in bottles. He shifted to chocolates, chicken and milk as food. He bought RKO studios the subsequent year but was never seen there as he descended into madness.  He started to live in solitude in hotel rooms and purchased the property when his requests were too outrageous for the owners. He had severe form of obsessive compulsive disorder and germophobia. He was also left with chronic pains from the accident and made him addictive to painkillers. He died in 1976 with his body shriveled and unkempt. The body was indentified using finger prints.
