Helena Rubinstein

Helena Rubinstein (1870-1965) was a Polish entrepreneur who founded one of the world's first cosmetics companies.
During her life, Rubinstein lived all over the world, establishing more than 150 salons in Australia, Europe, and the United States, where her main rival was Elizabeth Arden. A philanthropist and art collector, she commissioned two pieces by Salvador Dalí and funded a publishing house for her husband, who published D.H. Lawrence's novel Lady Chatterley's Lover.
She and Arden are the subject of the 2009 documentary The Powder & the Glory and the 2016 musical War Paint, where Rubinstein was played by Patti LuPone.

* When Oscar the Grouch catches Sully beautifully playing Chopin on his piano in Sesame Street Episode 1371, he angrily asks, "Why don't you practice so you can sound terrible the way piano-playing should be? Who do you think you are, anyway, Helena Rubinstein?" The script directs Sully to react, which he exhibits with a sharp take to the camera.
