The Final Copy of Ilon Specht is a 17-minute branded film that transcends advertising to become pure cinema. Directed by Oscar-winner Ben Proudfoot, it captures the raw, unfiltered story of Ilon Specht, the woman who wrote L’Oréal’s iconic line, “Because I’m Worth It,” in 1973. Premiered on AMC+ and Prime Video, it became the first-ever branded content acquired by TED, a platform known exclusively for original productions. No product pushing. Not another beauty ad. Just a woman, her voice, and the truth behind the words that changed beauty, and advertising, forever.
