Estée Lauder: The most influential Beauty Queen | Art & Culture Documentary

Beauty Queens Estée Lauder (1906 - 2004) "I never believed in success, I worked for it." Faithful to this motto, Estee Lauder became one of the richest and most influential women in the world – a perfect embodiment of the American dream. She was one of the original Beauty Queens, a pioneer of the cosmetics industry, whose products gave women at the turn of the twentieth century a new self-confidence. Eila Hershon and Roberto Guerra trace the career of this high-flyer who, shortly before her death in 2004, received the highest civilian honor in the US – the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
