Georgette Klinger (née Eckstein; February 28, 1915 – January 9, 2004) was a Czech-born American businesswoman and cosmetologist who founded skin care brand in New York City in 1941. Born into a wealthy family in Brno, Moravia, she became interested in beauty care after developing an acne rash from applying cosmetic products she won at a beauty contest. Klinger opened her first salon in 1938 before closing it a year later so she and her family could flee abroad when the Nazi Party invaded Czechoslovakia.
