In December of 1963, grief over the recent assassination of
President Kennedy gave rise to a heightened sense of urgency
to "grab the brass ring now." So it was that on a snowy day
in Dallas, a legal secretary looking for a brighter future
for herself and her family answered an ad placed by a new
company, Mary Kay Cosmetics. In Jackie Brown's brief
interview with Mary Kay, she became convinced not only of
the company's quality products and the founder's values, but
also of the potential in the marketing plan. Here was a
company that would reward her hard work and dedication with
an executive paycheck! Jackie rose through the ranks of Mary
Kay Cosmetics as no one else did. Jackie's successes in
selling and recruiting laid the foundation for a cosmetics
empire and she herself became the gold standard for new
recruits. But as the company's achievements spiraled ever
higher, Jackie began to see flaws from within. And these
were only the first warnings of a breach of trust so great
it would start a battle between the two women. This is the
story the public has never heard. The real story that fills
in the gaps left by other published reports. It is a story
of loyalty and betrayal, joy and heartbreak, recognition and
disappointment, heady success and depressing failure.
Ultimately, it is also a story of tragedy, and Jackie Brown
is the only one who can tell it. Author Jackie Brown spent
over forty years in the cosmetic business and was president
of two cosmetic companies. Now retired, she lives in a small
town in Arkansas.
