The Star Made Me Buy It

Today's star is largely forgotten - and she wasn't a 'star' star - but rather a writer.

But during her heyday, EVERYBODY knew who she was, i.e. an early 19th century version of Danielle Steele, with Jackie Collins tendencies.  

Elinor Glyn for Lux

Found in a 1931 copy of Pictorial Review.  

Note that the cute gal in blue is not Elinor.  Rather she's the profile in the circle between 'Elinor' and 'Glyn'

At first I thought she was that girl, but then learned that Ms Glyn was born in 1864.

Even the most well-preserved woman in her 60s couldn't look that young.  

Some of my Lux ads are for Lux soap, and a couple for Lux detergent.  

This is one of the detergent ones.
