“Marriage was not Charles Revson's forte; he was not entirely enthusiastic about the concept. No doubt this was partially the result of his first one. Indeed, when Charles and Ancky went for their marriage license and Charles was asked by the clerk for the name of his first wife, Charles—though he readily admitted there had been a first wife—simply could not remember her name.
Ancky had to supply it for him.”
Tobias’s account of Charles Revson, the head of the multimillion-dollar Revlon empire, who, at the time of his death, possessed the world's third largest yacht, depossessed his beautiful third wife, and, while still king of one of the world's most glamorous empires, ached for some kind of recognition which eluded him. Tobias has interviewed those who respected Revson as well as those who didn't to get the true Revlon-Revson story—a tale of genius and obsession.
