Max Factor specialized in movie make-up. Until its 1973 sale for US$500 million (approximately $3.6 billion in 2017 dollars), Max Factor & Company was owned by several generations of the family, becoming an international company during that time. Procter & Gamble purchased it in 1991.[citation needed]
