My aunt has worked for the Lauders for entire career. My cousin was the graphic designer of one of their lines, and an ex-boyfriend was the family's ski instructor. Leonard and their whole family are intelligent, hard-working, kind and down to earth. Great interview. Extremely nice man and nice family. :-)

He’s from the lost generation of sincerity, and honesty.

Mr Lauder comes across as a gentleman, estute businessman, philanthropist, wonderful husband, devoted son, and a kind human being! He’s definitely a tribute to his family’s legacy!

Leonard Lauder is the embodiment of everything good and decent you could hope for in a human being. My wife has known him for nearly fifty years and I for thirty-two. If ever I say anything wrong she admonishes me by saying;”Would Leonard say that?”

Working for Estée Lauder was some of the most exciting years of my life. Mrs Lauder was both a beauty icon and innovative business woman who will be always remembered.

I met the amazing Estee Lauder many years ago. I was a young art director traveling to New York for a some sort of business trip - I always hated them, because I usually had pages to design back home and those junkets seemed like a waste of my time. EXCEPT on this one evening where we all ended up in a tiny bar - don't remember the name of it. And there, sitting at a small table up against the wall was the doyenne, Estee. She was regal and sweet and very old even then, but so revered and obviously loved. She was very kind to me, I'm sure I was quite awkward. But I cherish that memory and when her son Leonard said he only wanted to be remembered for "listening...and for being kind..." I knew EXACTLY where that came from.

How wonderful-my great-great aunt was a friend of Estée Lauder.

I was a makeup artist for Prescriptives (Ester Lauder owned). The line is no longer sold, unfortunately. We had a lot of training and they gave employees all of the skincare products you wanted. What a visionary Estee was.

i used to do tv commercials for them in the late 70's. my first job in television production.

He has a great youthful spirit!

I believe that you are measured by the people you develop. Leonard Lauder has touched a lot of lives in his career. It is amazing how one thought passed along can alter a person’s career. From a once very young department store buyer, thank you.

I worked for this company in the 80s in Melville, Long Island, and just loved it!!!

Every Christmas growing-up, my Mom would buy my sisters and me, Estée Lauder make-up kits and our favorite perfumes. All of the EL perfumes instantly bring back all of my childhood memories. White Linen was my favorite as a tween. P.S. Her son is just adorable. 🤍

He is responsible for the whole beauty industry and everything good and bad that it had done. But he’s just a nice old man. I love that he got married again and he’s just a happy man trying to do nice things

He still visits the cosmetics counters annually

Loved Youth Dew. It was my first "grown up" perfume.

I love that he achieved all of the Estee Lauder products and memorabilia...

What a kind humanitarian. Estee Lauder was the first brand i used when i got a real job.

Leonard Lauder's mom must be really proud of him

I've been a Lauder devotee all my life as was my Mom..the best

He listened, and he was kind.

Thank you for making me feel beautiful.

My father is a retired ophthalmologist at Columbia University in NY, and Estee Lauder was a patient of his back in the 1990s. He said she was one of the nicest ladies he had ever met, and his son, Leonard, was nice, too. This CBS interview confirms that.

And I was so honored to be a part of that family oh my goodness working for Estee Lauder was magnificent. And the reason why everyone has a gift of free gift with purchase is because of Mrs Estee Lauder. When she would come to someone home as a guest she will leave a little piece of her with them a cute little compact a sample of her cream, so that's how free gifts with purchase started because of her oh she's a magnificent I'm sorry was a magnificent woman oh my goodness. An extremely gracious. The first fragrance youth do all the story behind youth do is magnificent and how she got it in the stores. Pure genius

My aunt used to have a cosmetics membership which sent her samples of different products probably every month or every other month. She always kept them and gave them out as little gifts. One year she gave me a small bar of Estee Lauder soap. I always kept it in the drawer with my under garments. The fragrance was wonderful. I still have that bar of soap and the little dish it came in. It was too pretty to use. I love the way it scents my drawer! Unfortunately the one fragrance I love (Youth Dew) doesn’t agree with the. However I enjoy Beautiful and Pleasures to this day. Thank you Estee for many years of pleasurable scents!

Wow i really enjoyed this interview, what a nice person Mr. Lauder is and his wife so refreshing to hear something positive. I think it’s great that they got married at their age it’s called being committed to each other we need more of that in this world. Your mom and Dad raised you right! Love your products too! Be kind! We all could learn from this.

Thank you Mr Lauder for sharing this beautiful legacy, it is truly an honor and pleasure to work for the Estée Lauder Companies. I am truly grateful everyday to work for such an incredible company, so kind, compassionate and generous. I love all my clients and helping them to feel and look beautiful. I want to thank you very much, I wish you the very best. Much love🙏🙏⭐️👍🙏❤️☝️🤗

He's wearing the pink ribbon pin in this interview too, I love it!

Awesome! I love him I worked at Clinique for 4 yrs and I enjoyed each second I still do Not with COVID though for now God Bless You Mr Lauder

It was a pleasant work for Estee Louder in Chicago! Thank you!

What a wonderful life story!

Love Estée Lauder beauty products

This was my late mother's favorite brand. She'd think nothing of shelling out a couple of hundred dollars on a small "jar of hope."

I LOVE 💟 Clinique. And it’s worth the money. Sincerely Thank you

Youth Dew continues to be my favorite! Enjoyed the video interview very much! #High5Blessins

The man I’m working for! ❤️

I love his night serum in the brown bottle. Gosh, I use that stuff like there’s no tomorrow!

Omggg I love that guy! So kind even his smile

When I was in my 20s this company met much to me. It promised beauty and hope and anticipation: of the next Estee Lauder purchase I would make after pay day!

The Great American Style, elegant and classy

My favorite perfume estee lauder along with avon and Christian Dior

She was a beauty and a great business woman

I worked for nearly every major cosmetics line in my 48 years as a makeup artist, counter manager, sales rep,, etc. It always has bothered me that Lauder & Clinic dominated over finer quality European & Japanese lines charging similar prices for cheaper ingredients that (esp. Clinic) used. Too greedy. Give everyone a chance I say.

They look amazing!

Wow Interesting indeed 🤗❤️

Delightful

This is what it is to have a family business.

Love it love it love it I have been using Esta Lauder for 30 years and more. Mostly youth dew oil. The powder is awesome.😉. And I have all of the rest that they manufacture. 🤗

I love to sell things! I need to say that more. I hope to see a documentary or movie about the Lauder’s. He loves to strengthen and transform… Great legacy.

Remarried at 81??? There's hope for me yet!

Does anyone recognize the painting in back of Mr Lauder that depicts a cocktail, cigar boy and martini shaker at 4:18?

Awww his wife resembles his mother!

A lovely man.

💗💗🥳🥳

Cuál Lauder? Este Lauder.

Thank you for this video. Have a Wonderful and Blessed day. As we can all see wickedness has become rampant in this world. The Bible God's holy world told us about the last days and we are in them. We are living in the last days according to the word of God we read it in 2 Timothy: 2Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 2Timothy 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 2Timothy 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; We see things that were once considered evil and wrong are now right and applauded. Things that were right and true are now considered wrong, evil, and wicked. Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! The Lord died on the cross at Calvary for all shades of people. He also rose from the dead. One day he's coming back, ands what a Glorious day that will be. Please call upon Jesus today fOR salvation WE MUST BE BORN-AGAIN. John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

No free samples anymore. Maybe one packet. Then, they changed all the formulas. Used it for over 40 years and had to quit. Sad.

They forgot to mention his close personal friendship with Donald Trump!!

The cruel weather reilly mourn because record daily apologise qua a lame start. volatile, new anime

White women. Go.

SHAME, SHAME, SHAME.

'Jars of hope'?! Aren't these umm 'proprieters' no different than what they used to call 'snake oil salesmen'?! It's all a very attractive 'con'.

He has thrown a lot of money at some quite evil folks. Buy Hourglass, not Lauder, for high quality cosmetics.
