The story of the makeup artist who changed the film industry—and the world of modern cosmetics. Includes photos. When Polish wigmaker and cosmetician Max Factor arrived in Los Angeles at the dawn of the motion picture industry, “make-up” had been associated only with stage performers and ladies of the oldest profession. Appalled by the garish paints worn by actors, Factor introduced the first “flexible” greasepaint for film in 1914. With a few careful brush strokes, a lot of innovation, and the kind of luck that can happen only in Hollywood, Max Factor changed the meaning of glamour. His innovations can be experienced in every tube of lipstick, palette of eye shadow, and bottle of nail lacquer used today. Join author Erika Thomas as she reveals the makeup guru's expert beauty tips and the story of how he created the most iconic golden-era looks that are as relevant today as they were nearly a century ago.

"Max Factor" by Fred E Basten chronicles the life of Max Factor, born in Poland in 1877, who rose from a cosmetician in Russia to a makeup mogul in America. Max's early exposure to theater and his apprenticeship in cosmetics set the foundation for his future success. Despite thriving as a makeup artist for the Russian imperial family, he felt trapped and longed for freedom due to the oppressive regime and anti-Semitism. Max's daring escape to America with his family led him to the St. Louis World's Fair, where he introduced his products. After personal setbacks, including his wife's death and a divorce, Max's fascination with the film industry prompted a move to Los Angeles. There, he innovated makeup suitable for film, creating the flexible greasepaint and later Pan-Cake makeup for Technicolor films. Max Factor's legacy continued through his children, particularly Max Factor Jr., who furthered the company's success in television makeup and international expansion. The Max Factor Beauty Museum in Hollywood preserves his contributions to the beauty industry, while his great-grandsons carry on the family tradition in cosmetics. Max Factor's story is a testament to his impact on Hollywood glamour and the global cosmetics market.

Go beyond the star-studded surface to the district's days of union busting, gangsters, and scandal, foreshadowing Hollywood's seedy decline. The book concludes with Hollywood's redevelopment that continues today. The book features the famous faces and places that made the town legendary, offering a unique perspective on celebrity nightlife and the behind-the-scenes stories of day-to-day life. Lavishly illustrated with over 800 vintage images from the author's private collection, "The Story of Hollywood" brings new insights to readers with a passion for Hollywood and its place in the history of film, radio, and television.

One of the most gifted American writers of the twentieth century—and the author of the acclaimed Rabbit series—delivers the intimate, generous, insightful, and beautifully written collection he was compiling when he died. This collection of miscellaneous prose opens with a self-portrait of the writer in winter, a Prospero who, though he fears his most dazzling performances are behind him, reveals himself in every sentence to be in deep conversation with the sources of his magic. It concludes with a moving meditation on a modern world robbed of imagination—a world without religion, without art—and on the difficulties of faith in a disbelieving age. In between are previously uncollected stories and poems, a pageant of scenes from seventeenth-century Massachusetts, five late “golf dreams,” and several of Updike's commentaries on his own work. At the heart of the book are his matchless reviews—of John Cheever, Ann Patchett, Toni Morrison, William Maxwell, John le Carré, and essays on Aimee Semple McPherson, Max Factor, and Albert Einstein, among others. Also included are two decades of art criticism—on Chardin, El Greco, Blake, Turner, Van Gogh, Max Ernest, and more. Updike’s criticism is gossip of the highest order, delivered in an intimate and generous voice.
