Maybelline founder Tom Lyle Williams with Emery Shaver at the Villa Valentino 1938

Maybelline, why tell the story?

Many people ask what inspired me to take on the challenge of writing such a detailed saga of my family.

My Response:   I want the world to remember Tom Lyle Williams as one of the great American Entrepreneurs.  His "rags to riches story" is inspiring and should be remembered. Also, I didn’t want the unsolved murder of my Grandmother, Evelyn Williams, to be forgotten.  This is a larger than life tale of a family who lived the American Dream, and survived its tradgedies as well as its triumphs.
