Amazon 4-part doc series premieres December 5 2024

The doc series penetrates the neon-hued world of Lisa Frank Inc., a brand that defined girlhood for a generation of Americans only to seemingly disappear overnight. Behind the rainbows and psychedelic illustrations, we unravel a nostalgia-soaked, stranger-than-fiction tale that takes us into the hidden world that has been lurking at the heart of the company for decades. Glitter and Greed: The Lisa Frank Story features never-before-seen footage and over twenty interviews with Lisa Frank, Inc. insiders, enthusiasts, and journalists.

Wow... Lisa Frank and Frank Green seem like truly terrible people. I live in Tucson. She has a copy of every item she has produced. The warehouse looks so dilapidated. Every year or so there is a story that the brand is making a comeback. So far it hasn't happened.

Just watched this - Ms Frank really is some nasty piece of work.  I feel for the Glamour Dolls make-up company people, it was a hard lesson to learn and they honestly made a huge mistake with the Kickstarter.  I think when Frank asked for the Greece vacation that should have been time to say no and just break the contract.

I love bright colors but the artwork...it's for kids.

The only person who came out well in this was the son who didn't participate.  Good move, kid.
