Beautiful Documentary, Laura! Living in California, both of my parents worked in the industry. I've seen just about everything. I remember women getting the works in the 60s when I was a child. I've been through extensive facial reconstructive surgery due to cancer. As wonderful as these options are, I feel our society has gone overboard. There is too much focus on eternal youth and beauty. Most people who are disfigured medically are never helped. Many people are maimed through medical procedures. This is due to radiation which destroys the bone and skin. What isn't discussed is the lack of access to reconstructive surgery. Insurance doesn't cover it in the cases of oral and skin cancer. As a result, those patients have the highest rate of suicide. Love all of your vids! You are a blessing! Thank you!
Unfortunately insurance companies deny as much coverage as they can. They can be very cruel because they put their profits first. Any reconstructive surgery needed because of illness or injury should be covered.
Marlene Dietrich's makeup artist would take fine plaits of her hair, pull them back hard and embed them in her scalp with a surgical needle after disinfecting the area, to give her a temporary 'facelift.' Can you imagine how painful it was. Then the wig would go over it. She would also have a very fine layer of silk glued to her skin first before makeup was applied. This was during her Vegas period. She went to great lengths for her public appearance when she was in her middle age and renowned for her 'fountain of youth.' None of it was real; there was literally nothing natural about it and would have taken hours to get ready for a performance. Someone I knew over 30 years ago had known the makeup artist and they had relayed all the things they did to achieve the Marlene effect for stage.
I agree, Her n Princess Diana should be allowed to rest in peace ❤ I love both of those women, and it it sadly seems that they just as hounded in death as they were in life 😪
After watching that Hedy Lamarr documentary 'Bombshell', I had to side eye her on this. I think she actually was addicted to plastic surgery. The filmmakers insinuated Hedy was giving her doctor specific orders on how to modify or push the boundaries on her face. It seemed she was so unfulfilled in so many ways, with the patent, with trying to bypass the big studios and distribute films independently, with losing money when financing those films, and with just aging and Hollywood casting her aside and blatantly disowning her son. I suspect Hedy may have gone so far as to construct/design her own face to be that perfect, early on and this is really mental. It's sad she didn't stop because - really, plastic surgery is not an exact science. It's still high risk, more for some than others.
@Laura Jane Atelier another amazing presentation. However I knew of a dear friend off my who had her lips done. And oh my goodness the damage was utterly awful. It took her years to recover from her cosmetic nightmare. So I would advise anyone who is thinking about cosmetic surgery please do your research first. Before making a decision that could change your life for the worse Anyway enough of me going on great video 💜💜💜❤️
Sedative and anesthetics grow naturally in nature. Poppies (opium) Coca (cocaine numbs ) garlic has antibiotic qualities, Valarien root will put you to sleep and relax you. Opium is very powerful and can be easily grown anywhere.
Rita Hayworth actually did not want to go through with that procedure. it was, what was decided for her, after her contract with a film studio. they did pay the procedure and she probably would have would have breached a contract or whatefever. not sure, if that was a good idea or not, it was already decided for her quickly. I guess, it is not so easy, to stay firm and say no, when you yourself don't know, if your possibilty to wark at all in that field depends on it or not.
Another fantastic video, Laura! I'm still aghast at the fact that the ancients would torture and punish criminals by removing their noses. Like what 😆😅 who thinks of that?!
Marlene Dietrich didn’t have any plastic surgery done she was terrified of even the idea. Her own daughter had to basically force her there when she desperately needed medical attention. But she did use wigs and tape and she had teeth removed.
Hi Laura beautifully done video. I so enjoyed your thorough research through history to latter day! I appreciate all the work you did, and also found it so interesting. I would enjoy more old hollywood videos, storys, secrets etc. Thankyou :-) :-)
Both Joan and Hedy were such pretty women. I feel like the plastic surgery only detracted from their beauty. I do wish they would have allowed themselves to age gracefully!! Marlene Dietrich- what a unique and exquisite beauty!!!
It was brutal. Jean Harlow lost almost all her hair from the peroxide they needed to achieve her blond. And Crawford hairdresser said she needed hair fillers to add to her hair. Crawford complained all the hairstyles left her bald in some areas.
What the entertainers have to go through to be accepted in Hollywood! Obsessing over youth and maintaining! Some go overboard! Some of them these days are unrecognizable! My goodness! Marilyn my Lord had some procedures done!! You do a good job on this content!!😘😘😘😘😘
If you look at the plastic surgeries performed in Indian and Korean actors and actors you would never be surprised again on how long they have been doing it
Dear Laura Jane Atelier, thank you for this interesting video and have a great new year 2023. The history of famous beauties is really thrilling and about Marlene Dietrich told my dear grandfather , who saw her often in person on stages in theatres in the Berlin of the Golden Twenties, where she was-- before Hollywood a well-known actrice, that she had a magical radiance, real Cheekbones and the most beautiful legs in the world!!!💄👛✨👠
Much of the story about Marlene Dietrich having so much work done was terribly untrue, what she did do was diet, upon wrapping the filming of 'Ange Blau' she went on a strict diet and lost 30lbs (13,5 kilos) before she arrived in Hollywood...which would have been a couple of months between filming and editing the release in Berlin and then her immediate departure the same night as the opening night after the filming, a week in her stateroom and and on the train from NYC to LA...and she arrived looking like the fabulous creature we see in the photo's taken in NYC as she debarked with all her luggage.
Thank you for this wonderful study I must say. I have read and made researches years back and none talk about the secret that plastic is very old. All what you said is correct, thank you so much!❤
Perhaps a small amount of elective plastic surgery enhances someone’s features... but what is being done today is so much more extreme (especially in Hollywood, modeling, music, and “influencers) and mostly just looks grotesque. It’s all too much and we see it all, very obviously.

They auctioned X-rays of Marilyn Monroe’s face?! Seriously, let the woman have some privacy and dignity.
No doubt
True that!!
I agree, Her n Princess Diana should be allowed to rest in peace ❤ I love both of those women, and it it sadly seems that they just as hounded in death as they were in life 😪
I just want to say that this is science and we don't bother my lovely MM to RIP.
Thank you.
YES! Seriously let her rest in peace🙏.

True. I agree.
I think Hedy was PISSED.
I guess Monroe felt the pressures of the 50s to change, but I think she looked prettier in the 40s before all the surgeries and platinum blonde hair
I agree.. She was more natural beauty before all those surgeries and hair whitening.

Thank you! I agree it’s important to do your research. Cheapest isn’t always the best
And in ancient times they didn't have anaesthetics, sedatives or antibiotics.
Almost crazy to do so out of appearance alone back than

I always think of Gloria Grahame when considering Old Hollywood and cosmetic surgery. She ended up with facial paralysis due to multiple lip surgeries
Marlene Dietrich didn’t have any plastic surgery done she was terrified of even the idea. Her own daughter had to basically force her there when she desperately needed medical attention. But she did use wigs and tape and she had teeth removed.
I was just reading about the first fillers being made of a type of paraffin. You can imagine how that went…
Always enjoy your videos of history of beauty.
Thanks lovely
Hi Laura beautifully done video. I so enjoyed your thorough research through history to latter day! I appreciate all the work you did, and also found it so interesting.

You really should have talked more about the pressures studios put on actresses to have these surgeries.
That’s for another video
It is her video and she can talk about what she wants to discuss. If you have suggestions for further videos that is great.
@@phalynwilliams4119 And I can express an opinion on the content.
Hello this is Latonya love your channel and your videos I do not miss any video from you when you come on you always give us great videos
Both Joan and Hedy were such pretty women. I feel like the plastic surgery only detracted from their beauty. I do wish they would have allowed themselves to age gracefully!! Marlene Dietrich- what a unique and exquisite beauty!!!
Absolutely fascinating thank you.
FYI Dietrich never won an Oscar she was only nominated.
Love the content of all of your videos, Laura. It's very interesting and entertaining. I love watching your videos. Thanks, for posting. 😊👍
Thanks for uploading this. I've always wondered if any plastic surgery existed back in the 50s/60s
Don’t get me started on ethnic rhinoplasties . That b&w footage was cringe 😬. Great video .
I love this channel. Watching your content is one of my favorite ways to unwind. Thank you!💄🍸📺
So very informative & interesting, Laura. Kudos to you for your time & extensive research. Thanks so much!
Thank you! I would love a video about how the stars in old Hollywood dyed their hair! Was it any different than nowadays?
Love that idea
It was brutal. Jean Harlow lost almost all her hair from the peroxide they needed to achieve her blond. And Crawford hairdresser said she needed hair fillers to add to her hair. Crawford complained all the hairstyles left her bald in some areas.
Always love your content ❤️
Thanks so much
What the entertainers have to go through to be accepted in Hollywood! Obsessing over youth and maintaining! Some go overboard! Some of them these days are unrecognizable! My goodness! Marilyn my Lord had some procedures done!! You do a good job on this content!!😘😘😘😘😘
Your bed is so beautiful & dreamy 💛
Isn't it just? I think it is her Marie Antoinette bed. She did a video on it.
If you look at the plastic surgeries performed in Indian and Korean actors and actors you would never be surprised again on how long they have been doing it
What do you mean? I have heard Korea does more plastic surgery then anywhere else I’m the world
hello , a happy , prosperous and healthy new year to you and yours........great share , thank you , for sharing🥰🥰🥰🥰...............
Happy new year
You couldn't pay me to get any of this stuff done. Insecurity destroys people.
15:57 Who ever thought that was a good haircut? I love Joan, but some of her hairstyles are questionable
Dear Laura Jane Atelier, thank you for this interesting video and have a great new year 2023. The history of famous beauties is really

I feel certain she had some nose work, even with lighting techniques and the heavy contouring she used, it is clearly much narrower later.
Thank you for this wonderful study I must say.
I have read and made researches years back and none talk about the secret that plastic is very old.
All what you said is correct, thank you so much!❤
Botox is really recent! I thought it was much older. So interesting.
Yes I know right! Even if you watch movies in the 90s actresses look different and have more movement
Botox was originally created to cure facial tics, the cosmetic use to reduce wrinkles was introduced later.
That was a fantastic video Laura Jane! Thank you!!!

I love you and your videos, you're so beautiful and we can see the effort you put into these videos. What is your lipstick on this video? I need it.
Thanks so much! I’m wearing vintage doll cosmetics Elizabeth
@@Laurajaneatelier thank you Laura ❣
Just love your videos!! Thank you!!
8:47 Thinking of Boardwalk Empire.
Oh yes definitely! Love that show
@@Laurajaneatelier Me too, Jack Huston's Richard Harrow was my favorite character!
Me too. I loved jack huston’s character.
Your skin is glowing! Is it your foundation? Or do you use a good primer?
I switched up my skincare routine and started using medical grade because I get a discount with my work. Thank you for noticing
I loved your channel

Love your stuff though..it comes from the ❤. Lol how old am i? I just left the same comment twice! Which is the Universe putting me in my place😂
