The Maybelline Story

The decline of an era, gone with the wind.

How do I love thee, let me count the ways.



The decline of an era, gone with the wind.
Tom Lyle Williams at 70 years of age.

 As handsome and glamorous, as always, Tom Lyle, carried on another 10 years alone, before his death in 1976.


Life without Emery, left a void in TL’s heart, that could never be filled. The luster, spark and joy, they shared for over 45 years, was now extinguished, but the memories of those magical Maybelline days, remained a kind compensation.


Read about the magic between Tom Lyle and Emery, in The Maybelline Story.
