Estée Lauder: A Historical Portrayal of the Woman Who Built a Cosmetics Empire   

The name Estée Lauder today ranks among the best-known in the world of cosmetics. But who was the person behind the celebrated name? In this historical portrayal, actress and scholar Leslie Goddard, Ph.D., brings Jewish cosmetics legend Estée Lauder to life. It is 1969 and Estée has decided to share stories of how she launched her beauty business by selling skin creams developed by her chemist uncle. She prioritized beautiful packaging and targeted high-end stores, eventually breaking into Saks Fifth Avenue. Her Youth-Dew bath oil took the world by storm, launching Estée Lauder, Inc. and helping to build her company into a million-dollar-a-year business. Meet the woman whose extraordinary sales ability turned her love for beauty into a cosmetics empire.

Live In-Person with Video Catch-up. Available 2-3 business days after the live lecture. You will have approximately two weeks to view the video.
