? American Crime Story S02.E03: A Random Killing

It's May of 1997 now, and we fade up on a Canadian Home Shopping Network host giving us some biographical background on Marilyn Miglin, who started out as a dancer and transitioned into cosmetics when the hot stage lights kept melting her face. Her face here belongs to the great Judith Light, still her gloriously bad-ass self beneath an era-appropriate immobile inverted ziggurat of Executive Lady Of A Certain Age hair. Marilyn's co-host introduces Marilyn's new line, Pheromone, a direct -- and, for the show's metaphorical purposes, convenient -- choice of brand name, and Marilyn is pretty pleased with her grand unifying theory of fragrance: "Perfume is about our bodies talking to each other without words."
