UPatti LuPone njengo-Helena Rubinstein, uChristine Ebersole njengo-Elizabeth Arden kunye nabadlali be Ipeyinti Yemfazwe. UJoan Marcus Ngokuqinisekileyo ukubheja ngendlela yokutyala ngokuzithemba kumculo obanzi kwaye ugqibe ngenzuzo: qiniseka ukuba ziinkwenkwezi uChristine Ebersole kunye noPatti LuPone. Ubundlobongela obubulalayo phakathi kwamakumkanikazi angamakhulu amathandathu u-Elizabeth Arden no-Helena Rubenstein akabukhathaleli ubunzima okanye wondla inzondelelo engapheliyo, engenakulinganiswa enikezelwa yi-terminal feud ka-Bette Davis noJoan Crawford, kodwa ngee-titan ezimbini zomculo we-Broadway ezidlala ngezikhonkwane ezibomvu zehlathi kwaye iilwimi ezivuzayo nge-arsenic, umtsalane uqinisekisiwe. Umboniso omtsha ubizwa Ipeyinti Yemfazwe, kwaye isihloko sithi konke.
Kumiswe ngobuhle kwiNederlander Theatre malunga nokuba zeziphi na izithembiso okanye ezisongelayo ukuba zihambe ixesha elide, le yenye yezo zinqabileyo-isantya-iirekhodi-zokufumana imiboniso yokonga imali. Ugcino lwam limbalwa, olungavakaliyo, kwaye zonke ziphakathi kwePatti LuPone's i-phony yasePoland, kunye nokunye malunga noko kamva. Ngeyona nxalenye intle yeeyure ezi-2 kunye nemizuzu engama-30 uya kuhlawuliswa, uchulumancile kwaye unomdla zii-divas ezimbini zokuyikhupha ngobuqhetseba kwimisebenzi yabo ebukhali, egqibeleleyo-ecekeceke njengoko beyalela kwaye bebambe inqanaba.
Ububanzi obuneebhola zethusi, uHelena noElizabethe bayiguqula imboni yobuhle ngokungqina ukuba iitoniki zolusu ezifakwe kakuhle, ezinemibala kunye nokusetyenziswa ngokugqibeleleyo, ikhukhamba yokuqinisa amehlo, iimaski zobuso, izithambiso zokuphela kunye nemilebe yomlomo ebabazekayo inokwenza ukuba abafazi abahloniphekileyo baqheleke kwabesini esahlukileyo njengokumkanikazi ookumkanikazi kunye namantombazana abiza ukhuphiswano. I-salon zabo zefashoni ezazikhuphisene nazo zabaphanga bobabini be-rouge kunye ne-mascara stardom kwaye babambelela kudumo lwabo kunye nobukrelekrele bokwenza imali nokwaphula yonke imithetho ngentiyo ekhohlakeleyo nengazange ibonwe. Nangona bengazange badibane, abasebenzi bokuyila ngasemva Ipeyinti Yemfazwe iqulunqa intlanganiso eyintsomi njengesiphelo sokumisa umboniso esinika abaphulaphuli into ebiyilindile-ithuba lokuvuya kwi-duet phakathi kwe-divas kwindawo esembindini ebizwa ngokuba yi-Beauty in the World ethi ngokuzingca nangokudelela ibhengeze indawo abayikroliweyo Umhlaba olawulwa ngabantu. Ndiphoxekile kwaye ndothukile, ayilulo uhlobo lweeyure ezili-11 ezifanelwe ziinkwenkwezi, kodwa ikuthumela ekhaya wonwabile. Eminye imiboniso iyadlamka kodwa yomculo nayo ayingomntu. Ngokwenene oku kukudana ngenxa yokuba incwadi, umculo kunye namazwi, ngokulandelelana, nguDoug Wright, uScott Frankel noMichael Korie, isithathu seetalente ezinamanqaku amahle IiGadi eziGrey Ukukhaba amafu uChristine Ebersole kwaye wamqhubela kwi-jet ukuya kwi-Tony Award. Ngokoluvo lwam, basayithambisile intombazana eyayibabeka kwimephu kwasekuqaleni ngengoma ebalaseleyo Ipeyinti Yemfazwe— Ingoma yomxholo ovusayo, ovusayo obizwa ngokuba yiPinki ovavanya ukuthanda kwakhe umbala wotyikityo ochaze ubomi bakhe.
Kukho iingoma galore kodwa zimbalwa zazo eziya kuhlala entliziyweni yakho emva kwekhethini lokugqibela. Ukuhleba kunokuba bendilindele kwaye ndinqongophele ngokungaqhelekanga kwiingoma ze-rhapsodic eziqhakaze kamnandi ngaphakathi IiGadi eziGrey , iimvumi ngaphakathi Ipeyinti Yemfazwe ikukhuthaze ukuba uhambe ungcungcuthekise. Oku akwenzi, kufuneka ndongeze, ndithintele umbane we-mega-watt kwiziza ezimbini zeqonga. Iziqingatha zeeseti eziphambili eziyilwe nguDavid Korins zibonisa ukuthanda kunye nemibala ethandwayo ziingcali ezimbini zembali yokwenza ubuhle-iindonga zeebhotile ezimnyama ezinemibala ye-chiaroscuro yeRubenstein, umJuda waseKrakow, kunye nepinki yobufazi ka-Arden, i I-Episcopalian blonde evela eCanada. Ngumahluko phakathi kwe-lanolin kunye ne-taffy yamanzi etyuwa, iqhutywa ngomboniso ukusuka ekuqaleni ukuya esiphelweni, kwaye yonke into ngumthendeleko wamehlo. Amantombazana amile kakuhle atyibilike epinki, evela kumlilo obomvu uElizabeth Arden emnyango kwiFifth Avenue undikhumbuze ngobumnandi bukaRaoul Pene Du Bois obekwe kwifilimu yeTechnicolor Inenekazi ebumnyameni. Incwadi
Incwadi ikhathalogu ngeziganeko ezisusela kowe-1935, xa amanenekazi aqala ukunyuka ngamandla ukuya kumandla, ukuya kuthi ga ngo-1964, xa bancipha kancinci ngokungaphumeleli ukuhambisana namaxesha. U-Arden wayejonga ukubhengeza umabonakude kwimarike esezantsi, kwanokuncamathisela impumlo yakhe kuWilliam S. Paley. URubenstein wagxotha intengiso yolutsha ekhula ngokukhawuleza. Bobabini basilele ukujoyina inyambalala ekuphononongeni iindlela ezintsha kunye nezinto abazithandayo. Zonke ezi zinto zizizinto zokucacisa, ezingaxakekanga kangako kunamaqhinga amabi abawadlalanayo ukuze balawule umzi mveliso abebewenza ngokuzinikela okungathethekiyo. Ngenxa yokuba kungekho mfazi wayezimisele ukunika abona bantu babalulekileyo ebomini babo ukwamkelwa ababekufuna kwaye bekufanele, uRubenstein waphulukana ne-V.P yobufanasini. wentengiso owambeka emephini (u-Douglas Sills omangalisayo) kunye no-Arden bancama umyeni wakhe kunye neqabane lakhe kwezoshishino (uJohn Dossett omelele ngokulinganayo nothembekileyo). Omabini la madoda atshintshe ukunyaniseka kwaye ayokusebenzela abaphathi babo bokuqala, esonakalisa ubukhosi babo. Ukuhlambalaza iimveliso zomnye nomnye kunye nokusebenzisa inkohlakalo ejolise kwisini ukufumana ukubiwa kwamadoda kubomi babo, abafazi ke bazama ukonakalisa udumo lwabo ngokuveza phambi kweCongressional ukuva izithako eziyimfihlo kwiifomula zabo (yonke into isuka kwizinambuzane eziphindayo ukuya kwi-cyanide) . Emva koko kwafika imfazwe, kwaye kwavalwa yonke into ukusuka kwiisilikhi ze-silk ukuya kwiibhanti ezinqabileyo ezipinki, zibanyanzelisa ukuba bavelise iimveliso ezintsha ukukhuthaza umzamo wemfazwe, njengeBullet Proof Mascara.
Yisaga, kulungile, ibonakaliswe ngamazwi aphefumlelweyo malunga neelixirs kunye neehomoni kunye namadlala enkawu, kwiingoma ezibizwa ngokuba yi-Inside of the Jar, Fire and Ice, ne-Forever Beautiful. Iziphumo ziyamangalisa, zincediswa kakhulu yile peachy David Korins Iiseti endizikhankanyileyo ngaphambili, kunye nexesha lokunxiba nguCatherine Zuber abonakala ngathi ayingqayizivele yeempahla ezintle uHelen Rose eyenzelwe uLana Turner no-Esther Williams kwi-MGM.
Kuninzi ekufuneka ujonge kuyo Ipeyinti Yemfazwe. Ukuba ungayiva ngovuyo olulinganayo. Indawo endiyiphawuleyo ekuphela kwayo yeyokuba isandi esimanyumnyezi esiphanga uPatti LuPone sokucaca okungafunekiyo kwaye sithintele abaphulaphuli ekubeni baqonde ubuncinci besiqingatha sento ayithethayo kwaye uyacula. Ngenxa yoko, inani eligqithisileyo le-linger enye-liners ziginyiwe kwigumbo yee-swabs zasePoland, kunye namanye amazwi abalulekileyo abonisa. Kuyathandeka, kwaye kuba akukho mntu waziyo ukuba abantu bavakala njani xa bethetha isiNgesi edolophini iKrakow, kunjalo, kukuchaphazeleka okungekho mthethweni ukuba umlawuli onamandla angabalela. Isichazi magama sikaPatti LuPone kunzima ngokwaneleyo ukuba angazithathela sona. Ichazwe ngegama elinombala ongachazekiyo omenze wavakala ngathi umqala wakhe ugcwele ilitye elinomgibe, wenza abaphulaphuli bakhe baxolelwe-kwaye bangadingeki kwaphela.
