The Maybelline Prince: Founder of DMK Int'l, and Ambassador for the Harvey Milk Foundation

by Danne Montague-King

Overview

The 1970s were known for free love and experimentation of all kinds. Nobody cared if you were gay, straight or bisexual, and the use of recreational drugs was common. In the midst of all this appeared a woman who had turned the head of Al Capone, helped found the famous Maybelline cosmetics company, and still possessed more than enough beauty, magnetism and allure to make men do more than they had ever thought they could do. When Evelyn F. Williams and her enigmatic young male companion arrived in Hot Springs, Arkansas, they took over the famous town in a whirlwind of lights, rock 'n' roll, cameras, beautiful people and a grand lifestyle. They created a media frenzy wherever they went and changed many young people's lives for the better-until jealousy and resentment led to stories of orgies, twisted sex, drugs, Mafia hits...and the mystery of the Maybelline Queen's fiery death, which some still call an unsolved murder. This is the uncut version of that high-living time written by the young man who lived it with Evelyn-the man who was supposed to "never be heard from again"-Danné Montague King. It also tells how the "Maybelline Prince" went on to found a skin care dynasty of his own, hobnob around the world with everyone from decadent bluebloods to political activists.
