Hurley, who has been the face of Lauder's charity drive for several years, joined mourners at Manhattan's Lincoln Center on Monday to celebrate the life of the cosmetics entrepreneur and activist, and she reveals it was an emotional event.

Taking to Twitter.com after the ceremony, Hurley writes, "Evelyn Lauder's memorial was very moving.

"My stiff upper lip hid behind my wobbly lower one and I sobbed all the way through my speech".
