The Heiress and Her Chateau: Carolands of California is a 98-year saga of a 98-room mansion, a three-dimensional window into life among America's elite. Chateau Carolands was built by one of the richest women in the world to be her ultimate dream home, but nothing went as planned. Once the most fabulous house west of the Mississippi, now a foundation, the story of the rise and fall and rise of Chateau Carolands is a dramatic tale of wealth and ruin, love and loss, art and architecture - with a murder, a porno film, and a couple of earthquakes along the way. It all ends happily, with a multi-million dollar restoration of the Chateau, more grand and glorious than ever. Meet the Heiress, the Countess, and the billionaire's wife - the women who built, loved, and preserved this architectural masterpiece for decades to come.
