MARY ANN CRENSHAW

I have my original copy of Mary Ann's book about health and beauty and especially about proper face washing. I am about to turn 70 and do not look it. I still follow the "rinse and rinse and rinse" advice, and the vitamin regime. I believe I read about her book in "Seventeen" magazine, or maybe it was "Glamour". Thank you and RIP.

I am very sad to learn of Mary Ann's passing...she was a lovely woman. I cannot believe I am just reading this. She and I became friends due to her love of birds and dogs. She would come into Wild Birds Unlimited with her dog, Lucy, to purchase seed. I pray that the love of her life, Lucy, landed in good hands...Mary Ann love Lucy so much. Rest in peace, Mary Ann.

Just saw a segment on 'To Tell the Truth' that featured Mary Ann Crenshaw! Very interesting! Eat seaweed!

I still have my 1974 copy of Mary Ann Crenshaw's book, "The Natural Way to Super Beauty" that I got when I was 17 years of age. I'm now 66 and because I took to heart her skin care advice - it paid off amazingly! I'm always complimented by people telling me that I don't look my age :). I always remembered her amazing advice - like never go to bed with makeup on - and make your face-washing regiment a time-consuming regiment!!!! I take lecithin now and it actually keeps my tinnitus from...

I learned today of Ms. Crenshaw´s death 3.5 years ago. I was researching a natural remedy and began to reminisce about her book "The natural way to Super beauty". I studied and read-read that book through the seventies. Mary Ann leaked so much of her personality into that book that she seemed like a friend. She was a mentor to many. Thanks Mary Ann!

I just read about Mary Ann Crenshaw's passing as I was doing some research and feel so sad. I have a copy of her book The Natural Way to Super Beauty and it's been my bible of nutritional advice for many many years. I am 72 and still follow her protocols especially with regards to vitamin/mineral supplements.

Remembering dear Mary Ann as All Saint's Day approaches. She was a long-time friend of my mother's and was so kind and generous to me after my mother died. Mary Ann introduced me to the beauty of New Mexico and its people, and she shared her passion for Navajo and Outsider art wth me. Funny and smart, she loved her life and lived it to the fullest. I mss her very much.

I received shocking news via the internet earlier this week. My dear friend and life-mentor Mary Ann Crenshaw died last year.

I met Mary Ann and worked for her in the early 1960's in the Fashion Office at Ohrbach's. She supervised all fashion for the company: runway shows including the famous Line-for-Line Paris Couture Shows, photo shoots, press coverage, Doyle Dane Bernbach [TV & Press], in-store department spotlight press shows and so much more.

Mary Ann is...

Every day I somehow manage to incorporate some part of Mary Ann's book The Natural Way to Super Beauty into my life. She wrote of nutritional discoveries back then that appear as "new" discoveries now. She motivated me as a 16 year old at boarding school in South Carolina to take better care of my body even if only for how it helped create and maintain natural beauty. Because of her I used the alternative less expensive equivalent of Laslo' skin regime to keep my skin ph balanced while eating...
