Interesting start to finish,
By A Customer
This review is from: Best Face Forward (Paperback)
This is not at all the vanity autobiography you might expect. It's a well-written, complete and detailed first-person saga of a girl who came from next to nothing to build a major cosmetics empire, become a television celebrity and make international civic and social contributions of great importance. The book is just like having Marilyn Miglin to yourself for a cozy afternoon; it's just like she's talking to you. Her life is engaging from the start--she's been a dancer, one of Chicago's leading high fashion models, a cosmetics empress and also a daughter, wife and mother-- and she tells about it all with grace and warmth. The most astounding part of the book is her recounting the loss of her handsome and charismatic husband Lee, one of Chicago's business and civic stars. She tells exactly what came before, what happened, what was going on outside and inside of her, how she survived and went on. There's no doubt this is a valiant woman whose price is far above rubies! The key to this book is a photo of Marilyn at the age of 4, already a wide-eyed European-featured beauty, clear-eyed, shining from inside and dressed like a fairy princess. This clearly is someone who already had her lights on bright as a kid. The photos are all interesting, if only because Miglin is such a unique beauty. She isn't a standard issue American blonde but has very strong ethnic features which somehow come together into a face which is ever fascinating, ever mystifying. Whatever IT is, she has it, plus terrific business talent, great people skills and a deep, deep sense of social service and justice. If you don't believe it, she and Lee sent their kids to the Chicago Public Schools when they could have afforded the best private academies. They wanted their children to know a spectrum of people. Miglin continues to serve their elementary school in many ways. Chicagoans adore Marilyn Miglin for her elegance, her always being herself, her warmth, her generosity and above all her courage. No, you won't find gossip here, you won't find insults of other people, no won't find private family matters which should remain private family matters (her daughter and son will never be embarrassed by this book). You will find a classy and rewarding story by one singular sensation.
