Morocco - Who?

OK. When we were in Morocco, we had the honour of seeing Barbara Hutton's country house - from 3 different viewpoints. We saw Cafe Baba, where Barbara Hutton used to drink mint tea. The Rolling Stones also went there quite a bit, but that was immaterial, Barbara was obviously the big draw here. She was the one who had her portrait on the wall. Through the window of the cafe, we saw Barbara Hutton's town house.

We were walking along, when our guide stopped and had a very enthusiastic conversation in Arabic with someone in the road...we managed to pick our just two words...

Barbara Hutton!

Seriously...Who the fuck is Barbara Hutton? And what kind of strange pull does she have on the people of Tangiers?
