Revlon

Revlon is a popularly-priced brand of cosmetics sold in pharmacies and department stores in the 1950s. Its products are still available today but are sold largely in drug stores, where they remain high quality and popularly priced.

Revlon was founded in 1932 by Charles Revson, his brother Joseph and their chemist, Charles Lachman (the 'l' in Revlon). Revlon began as a nail polish manufacturer, developing a new formulation for polish, eventually adding manicure implements and then lipstick, and rapidly became one of America's five largest cosmetics houses by the end of World War II.

### Cosmetics in the 1950s

In the 1940s and 50s, women who went "downtown" to go shopping were well-dressed and carefully made up. Major department stores catered to "the ladies" providing personal shoppers and tearooms, and cosmetics counters were located near the main doors of department stores, a practice innovated by Harry Selfridge at his eponymous department store in London 30 years earlier. It was a period where women wore bright colors, and vividly colored red, pink, peach and coral lipstick and nail polish were both fashionable and extremely popular. During this time, Revlon developed a number of iconic shades, including Raven Red, a deep burgundy red, and the wildly popular Cherries in the Snow, a pinky-red which Midge encourages a customer to purchase, netting her a job at the B. Altman Revlon counter.

In 1992, she met her later husband Randall Sommer, with whom she has a child. They are married since 1998.

Steiner Mountain Resort

**Steiner Mountain Resort** is a location on Amazon Prime Show *The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel*. It is located in the Catskills.

## About

**Steiner Mountain Resort** did not exist in real life; however, are several holiday resorts situated in the Bortsch-Belt that are similar to Steiner's.

## Historical Notes

Three of the Season 2  episodes including *We're Going to the Catskills!, Midnight at the Concord*, *Let's Face the Music and Dance* are set at the fictional **Steiner Mountain Resort** in the Catskill Mountains of New York. The resorts of the Catskills were the favored summer retreats of Jewish families who could afford to leave hot, humid New York City in the summer during the days before air conditioning.

In the 1950s, many of the hotels along the Atlantic shore and other vacation spots were "restricted," accepting only white, gentile guests. This lead to the growth of resorts catering to Jewish families in the Catskills. Steiner's may have been inspired by Grossinger's Catskill Resort Hotel, one of the largest of the Catskills resorts, which Midge mentions in this episode.

These hotels and resorts frequently featured nightly entertainment and became fertile ground for budding Jewish entertainers, especially stand-up comedians, who performed in what became known as the "Borscht Belt," the hotels and clubs dotting the Catskills. Comics including Henny Youngman, Rodney Dangerfield, Joan Rivers, and Billy Crystal developed their comic skills as they entertained the Jewish clientele summering in the Catskills.
