On the late afternoon of October 7, 1966, servants at Rough Point, the Gilded Age Newport, Rhode Island mansion of Doris Duke, witnessed a heated argument between Doris and her close confidante, interior designer, Eduardo Tirella. Moments later, as they left the estate, she plowed into him in a two-ton station wagon as he went to open the heavy gates at the end of the drive.
