THE POWDER AND THE GLORY

Two women, the creators of the modern beauty industry, Elizabeth Arden and Helena Rubinstein, are profiled in this PBS documentary, The Powder and The Glory. They are credited with developing the $150 billion dollar global beauty business. These remarkable businesswomen were arch rivals, who were always one-upping each other, and who lived in New York City blocks from each other, but never wanted to meet. (Crazy they never bumped into each other at a party, either!)

This runs on your local PBS stations on March 23. Log onto PBS.ORG for the time in your area, or purchase the DVD, and read more about them at http://www.pbs.org/thepowderandtheglory/index.html
