I already asked my “Are you Firstname Lastname” question, but perhaps someone else might about ask about the heir(ess) to a certain cosmetics empire?

144

I didn’t participate in this game so I’m not entitled to a guess, but I think I know the surname EH is referring to - not the first name though. I’ll try to play in the next game when it starts.

Well, I’m gonna call it.

I am Helena Rubinstein, self-made millionaire and founder of a cosmetics empire.

Assuming that EH guessed her name in that last comment of his, I continue with…

I am F.

I was actually thinking of the name Revlon - was there a Miss or Mrs. Revlon? Lee Radziwell, the socialite and sister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, also just occurred to me this morning. Ah, well - on to F.
