Gracias a su talento pudo contar con el apoyo incondicional de leyendas como Marlene Dietrich, Mae West y Judy Garland, pues tuvo que enfrentarse al machismo imperante para consagrarse como la primera mujer maquilladora de la \u00e9poca dorada de Hollywood. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCr\u00e9ditos: Wikipedia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
De extra del cine mudo al tocador de las estrellas m\u00e1s famosas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Dorothy \u201cDottie\u201d Ponedel no siempre tuvo en sus planes maquillar los rostros m\u00e1s emblem\u00e1ticos de Hollywood en la \u00e9poca dorada. En 1920, se despidi\u00f3 de su ciudad natal y viaj\u00f3 a Los \u00c1ngeles junto a su madre, impulsadas por un modesto capital de trescientos d\u00f3lares y el sue\u00f1o de abrir una panader\u00eda. Sin embargo, el cine llam\u00f3 a las puertas de Dorothy Ponedel cambiando el rumbo de sus planes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Entonces, inici\u00f3 como extra y actriz de cine mudo, pero su destino cambi\u00f3 en 1930 cuando improvis\u00f3 el maquillaje de la actriz Nancy Carroll durante un rodaje. El resultado fue tan perfecto que las estrellas comenzaron a exigir sus servicios. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
El talento de Dottie Ponedel resid\u00eda en el contorneado. Ella fue qui\u00e9n dise\u00f1\u00f3 la imagen ic\u00f3nica de Marlene Dietrich, elevando sus cejas y afinando su nariz con trazos precisos de luz y sombra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Desafiando al sindicato con glamour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A pesar de que divas de Hollywood como Carole Lombard y Barbara Stanwyck la aclamaban, el Sindicato de Maquilladores, \u201cLocal 76\u201d, se opuso al ingreso de Dorothy a la industria, ya que era un gremio exclusivamente masculino que controlaba el monopolio y aseguraba que aplicar cosm\u00e9ticos era “cosa de hombres”.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCr\u00e9ditos: Cine Philed. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Fueron las actrices Marlene Dietrich y Mae West quienes lideraron la resistencia, amenazando con boicotear las pel\u00edculas de las producciones millonarias si Ponedel no era admitida y acreditada oficialmente. As\u00ed, luego de soportar a\u00f1os de discriminaci\u00f3n, Dorothy se convirti\u00f3 en la primera mujer sindicalizada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Judy Garland y los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
En 1940, al llegar a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), el estudio m\u00e1s emblem\u00e1tico de la \u00e9poca dorada de Hollywood, conoci\u00f3 a Judy Garland. Ambas forjaron una amistad inquebrantable, donde Dottie fue su maquilladora exclusiva y confidente durante veinticinco a\u00f1os. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tr\u00e1gicamente, en 1951, la esclerosis m\u00faltiple le arrebat\u00f3 las brochas de las manos, oblig\u00e1ndola a retirarse. A finales de los setenta, Dorothy Ponedel falleci\u00f3 en la casa de Beverly Hills que hab\u00eda comprado gracias al apoyo de Dietrich. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Siempre ser\u00e1 recordada como la primera mujer maquilladora y como quien se gan\u00f3 la confianza de las estrellas a pesar de que el sistema la rechazaba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
