Beautiful For Ever is presented by special arrangements with Ed Stone

Based on the true story of Sarah Rachel Russell [1814-1880]. An English Beautician, con artist, businesswoman, entrepreneur, suspected brothel manager and felon who lived during the Victorian era in London, England. She owned, managed and independently operated her own beauty salon which sold beauty treatments and cosmetics that promised its predominantly female clientele eternal youth and beauty.

Come and hear the story of how she used her position to blackmail the most elite women of London’s upper classes…and what happened next!
