In 1987, Irish butler Bernard Lafferty arrived on the doorstep of tobacco heiress Doris Duke. Fresh out of rehab and without a penny to his name, he faced an uphill battle in convincing his notoriously demanding boss to keep him on staff. A mere six years later, he had not only managed to remain employed but had been granted control over Duke’s billion dollar fortune.
Bernard and Doris starring Susan Sarandon and Ray Fiennes premieres on Saturday, February 9th at 8p.m.--only on HBO!
