Here’s some of the interview:
Carolyn Murphy on beauty and how it has more to do with interests and lifestyle than playing a role:
“I’ve been cast as every blond icon, you name it: Grace Kelly, Romy Schneider, but what’s interesting to me now is what lies behind the façade of the photo—this idea of being American, and what that means, how that defines you.”
Carolyn on the evolution of the ‘real American woman’:
“So often the American woman has been typified by a standard of outward beauty: blond hair, blue eyes, healthy build. I see the evolution of the real American woman as being more about her spirit. She can roll up her sleeves and get dirty. She can do it all—she is classy and she is casual. Neither holds more importance than the other, and the beauty is in her effortlessness.”
Jane Hudis, group president of the Estée Lauder Companies on the former definition of beauty:
“When I think about beauty 10 or 15 years ago, it was about that perfection. It was the time of super models: Cindy, Tatiana, Christy. They were powerful, gorgeous, Amazonian. It was, ‘How can I look like them?’ Perfect form head to toe. But now it’s really about letting your best self shine through. Beauty and media and self-expression have become a kind of ecosystem.”
