HINT: (1874-1936), English writer who published works on philosophy, ontology, poetry, plays, journalism, public lectures and debates, literary and art criticism, biography, Christian apologetics, and fiction, including fantasy and detective fiction.


RANDOM TIDBITS
The first Avon Lady was no lady at all. It was David McConnell, a book salesman who gave small bottles of perfume to housewives who would allow him inside their homes to listen to his pitch. He soon realized that there was a market for door-to-door cosmetic sales, particularly in rural areas.

On February 26, 1996, Elizabeth Taylor appeared on four different CBS sitcoms as a promotion for her then-new perfume, Black Pearls: Can't Hurry Love, High Society, Murphy Brown, and The Nanny.

The first fragrance marketed exclusively for males was Estee Lauder's Aramis, which was launched in 1964.

In the seventeenth century, most gentlemen kept perfume in the heads of their walking sticks. A quick whiff would ward off the nasty street smells of that era.

Charisma Carpenter, who found fame first as a cheerleader for the San Diego Chargers and then on TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer, was named after an Avon perfume (much to her alleged dismay).

In 1979, Shelley Hack was tapped to replace Kate Jackson on Charlie's Angels based solely on her high profile as the spokesmodel for Revlon's Charlie perfume.
