93-year-old journalist, filmmaker and "High Priestess of Plastic Surgery" Joan Kron has spent her career pioneering the beauty beat. Now, in Weapon of Beauty, Joan investigates the cloak-and-dagger history of Botox, the world's most popular cosmetic treatment — derived from the deadliest natural poison known to man (botulinum toxin).

​

Joan knows she can’t tell this story alone. So she’s bringing the toxin to life in the form of an animated sidekick, Ms. Bot —  voiced by none other than iconic character actress (and beloved curmudgeon) Jackie Hoffman. With unprecedented access to bioscience labs, military facilities, doctors, first adopters and Botox-lovers around the globe, Joan and Ms. Bot will reveal the unredacted story of how botulinum toxin went from a weapon of war to a weapon of beauty, and what that means for all of us.
