Leonard, in turn, lived life as he thought was best for the company, doing, by his description, "90 to 95 percent of the work and giving my mother all the credit." He became chief executive officer in 1982, but, when asked to speak to the press, he frequently deferred to Estee.
Leonard was so determined that she do the ads that he was willing to overlook the fact that she also represents Revlon in a series of print ads.
