PBS’ American Experience launches the documentary film, Tupperware!
PBS’s American Experience program recently featured the documentary film Tupperware! This film utilizes interviews from executives and top-ranking distributors to tell the story of the early days of the Tupperware company. The famous Tupperware product was developed by Earl Silus Tupper, a man from a poor farming family who was determined to become rich. His product was initially sold in the retail environment. When he and Brownie Wise met, a duo converged and home parties brought the product into the homes of thousands of American women.
Brownie Wise was the star of the company; young, eager women distributors idolized her. She developed new techniques to motivate and recruit new distributors that are still common today. But Brownie Wise’s future with the company became questionable. Without giving too much away, the story of Tupperware is a fascinating one, with the rise and fall of a star and the growth of an extremely successful company that still thrives today. Tupperware looks very little like it did when it was in its youth. The story is both sad and brilliant. It’s a great watch and highly recommended for anyone interested in the story of Tupperware.
