  Rich's Life and Career--by Deborah Pope
Rich was born 16 May 1929 in Baltimore, Maryland, the elder of two daughters of Arnold Rich, a doctor and pathology professor at Johns Hopkins University, and Helen Jones Rich, a gifted pianist and composer who had given up a possible professional musical career to raise a family.
Rich's earlier, inchoate feelings of personal conflict, sexual alienation, and cultural oppression were finding increasing articulation in the larger social/political currents gathering force throughout the sixties, from the civil rights movements to the antiwar movement, to the emergent women's movement.
Rich's voice is most characteristically the voice of witness, oracle, or mythologizer, the seer with the burden of "verbal privilege" and the weight of moral imagination, who speaks for the speechless, records for the forgotten, invents anew at the site of erasure of women's lives.

Rich, by now a multimillionaire, was in Switzerland on the day his indictment came down and decided to stay.
Rich's attorneys -- at the time of the investigation as well as in the consideration of the pardon -- uttered cries of "over-prosecution." They hoped an agreement could be reached.
Rich started paying the fines only after the feds, following an anonymous tip, "reeled in a plane on the runway at JFK" (Weinberg's words) and found it was carrying a paralegal from a New York law firm who had checked on board with two steamer trunks full of subpoenaed documents.

 Home Theater & Sound -- Born Rich - **1/2
Born Rich documents an existence with which few people can empathize: being wildly wealthy and questioning what you did to deserve it.
Born Rich has something of a reality-show feel -- it often moves from scene to scene with little narrative momentum.
Born Rich leaves one with many morsels to taste but no legs of lamb to chew on -- perhaps because of the way it was constructed, perhaps because it's not easy to care about the people it documents.

 Born Rich (2003) Movie Review - The Hollywood News
Born Rich is extremely interesting, and while there are certainly egos and and holier than thou attitudes on display in this picture, there are also those who are humble and have the good sense to know that money can't buy you everything.
After watching Born Rich, I can honestly say that having money is something that definitely appeals to me, but I'd much rather build a fortune from scratch, that way I always have a past to keep me grounded.
The subjects in Born Rich don't really have that luxury, and while it's easy to say you don't feel sorry someone who has lot's of money, this insightful documentary might change your opinion a little bit.

Born Rich arrived in Sydney in 1990, when McDonald says he licensed the name and content of a course run by Bob Proctor, an American "multi-tier" marketing guru.
The most serious allegation against McDonald is that Born Rich involves psychological techniques that should not be conducted in a public and uncontrolled environment without trained counsellors.
A former professor of educational psychology at Avondale College, Dr Lyn Gow, who attended Born Rich in January, says McDonald destabilised her and others until they felt they were drowning, and then threw them the only rope.

 Poets.org - Poetry, Poems, Bios & More - Going for Motherlode: on Adrienne Rich’s Of Woman Born
Adrienne Rich’s manifesto—almost three decades old and never out of print—looks long and hard into the chasm separating women’s actual (or at least potential) link to maternity, and the "theories, ideals, archetypes, descriptions" patriarchal culture substitutes for this real relationship.
All of us—mothers and non-mothers—are born of women, therefore all have a connection to motherhood "more fundamental than tribalism or nationalism," Rich says.
Rich wants us to know that there’s a long, continuous umbilical connection between the societies we live in, our personal lives and our art.

 Born Rich - Review Hollywood North Report
Questioning his place in the small world of rich kids — all whom have inherited their great wealth and basically will never have to work a day in their lives — Jamie Johnson decided to embark on this personal life question in the form of a cheaply-shot documentary.
Apparently, that’s what a lot of Born Rich’s participants were envisioning as well — so what we actually get is a handful of barely-legal heirs and heiresses speaking on-camera about their views of their own lives and wealth.
Although Born Rich was likable and had a good mix of interviews — and decent work by Jamie Johnson — ultimately, this was not necessarily educational.

 TV Reviews | 'Born Rich'; 'Rich Girls': Focusing on Residents of Gilded Cages
That is one reason "Born Rich," a documentary on HBO tonight by and about the children of the very rich — a Vanderbilt, a Johnson & Johnson heir, Ivanka Trump, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's daughter Georgina, a titled descendant of Kaiser Wilhelm — is so unusual.
"Born Rich," however, is a modest, narrowly focused hour of television that manages to be quite fair and remarkably interesting.
It took three years, but Jamie Johnson, the 23-year-old director of "Born Rich," coaxed the camera-shy children of old fortunes and newly minted ones to discuss what he calls "the voodoo of inherited wealth." They describe it with candor, wry humor and, at times, touching insight.

 DVD Talk Review: Born Rich
Born Rich, is a two-time Emmy-nominated HBO documentary from first-time filmmaker Jamie Johnson, a 23-year-old heir to the enormous Johnson & Johnson fortune.
Shot over a three-year period, the success of Born Rich hinges upon Johnson's level of access to his subject matter, which is essentially himself and his peers.
Rather than presenting caricatures of the rich that are so often seen on "E!" or in the tabloids, Born Rich presents them as real people, all trying to find themselves in their own way, which is no different than the rest of us.

One of the aforementioned offspring, a man who will never have to know the pains of moonlighting to pay the rent or struggling to make a car payment, has decided to explore the world of those who are, as the title would suggest, born rich.
I came into the documentary expecting to see a generic, or over-compensatingly sympathetic, picture of what it is like to be born without an understanding of the struggles of the reality of the masses.
In my review of "American Pimp" I said that while I never had an interest in the subject it was still worth recording to achieve an accurate picture of all elements of society.
