From a FB Q Page: Revlon was founded in the midst of the Great Depression, 1932, by Charles Revson and his brother Joseph along with a chemist, Charles Lachman, who contributed the "L" in the Revlon name.
During World War II, Revlon created makeup and related products for the United States Army, which was honored in 1944 with the Army-Navy "E" Award for Excellence.
However, the 1967 acquisition of U.S. Vitamin and Pharmaceutical Corporation made Revlon a leader in diabetes drugs.
On November 5, 1985, at a price of $58 per share, totaling $2.7 billion, Revlon was sold to Pantry Pride (later renamed to Revlon Group, Inc.), a subsidiary of Ronald Perelman's MacAndrews & Forbes
The company announced on January 29, 2017 that CEO Fabian Garcia would leave the company at the end of February.
Board member, Paul Meister, would become executive vice chairman of the board and run the day-to-day operations
Perelman met his first wife, Faith Golding, in 1965 while on a cruise to Israel.
As the heir to a fortune made in real estate and banking, Faith Golding controlled a personal fortune of around $100 million at the time of their marriage.[83]
They adopted three children named Steven, Josh, and Hope, and Faith gave birth to a fourth child named Debra.
Their marriage lasted until 1984 when Faith discovered Perelman was having an affair with a local florist after a bill for a Bulgari bracelet was sent to their home instead of Perelman's office.
