Madame: An Intimate Biography of Helena Rubinstein Hardcover – 1 Jan. 1971
by
Patrick O�higgins
(Author)
An affectionate, intimate biography by Madame Helena Rubinstein's personal assistant that captures "Madame's" unbounded energy and spunk such as her buying carloads of African sculpture or kicking an inatteneive employee in the ankle to make him listen, keeping her competitor's at bay, and dispensing homely advice, particularly on beauty. Rubinstein's propensity for crisis, strife, and inevitably, farce make this irreverent but affectionate biography the purset diversion and just a fun read.

We all have memories of a person who, thanks to his/her remarkable personality has struck us as exceptional. Reading this beautifully written books, one only regrets not having been born some 70 years ago. HR comes out of these pages as true character, one of those larger-than-life women who can afford to be themselves, without regard for any set rules or protocol. Not a biography in a traditional sense of the word, but vividly narrated moments of HR's life. I enjoyed every page of it.
