The Maybelline Story

The healing begins, as my family takes on a new make-up.

Getting on the right track, as our family heals from the aftermath of Arkansas.

The healing begins, as my family takes on a new make-up.

Gene’s mother, Evelyn Dorney, Gene, Sharrie, Baby Georgia, my sister Billee, Bill and Gloria at Georgia’s second birthday at Disneyland.


Life took on a new slant, three years after Nana’s death, and our war-torn family began to heal. Bill calmed down with Gloria, and he took his role, as head of the family, more seriously. He was a grandfather now, a father and soon to be a married man once again. The best years of our lives waited for us in the 1980’s.


Stay tuned for Bill and Gloria’s Wedding in Montecito, New Years Eve, 1979.


It’s still not to late to purchase tickets for my One Woman Show, Sept 7th, at The Beverly Hills Women’s Club. Hope to see some of you there as I make The Maybelline Story come alive.
