This morning a film titled Lady of Leisure was on was on TCM with Barbara Stanwyck. Her role was a model and she was wearing false eyelashes. The
male actor peeled them off her eyelids.  My question when were false
eyelashes first used in history and how were they attached?

According to the US Patent office, a patent for false eyelashes was granted 100 years ago, on June 6, 1911. I think we should have a celebration!
