Film image

Local directors Ann Carol Grossman and Arnie Reisman reveal the personalities behind the “makeup” of arch-rivals Helena Rubinstein and Elizabeth Arden, two amazing women who dared to create an industry in a man’s world—at a time when only performers and prostitutes wore cosmetics. That Madame Rubinstein chose to keep her obviously Jewish name makes her triumph all the more remarkable.
