Maxine Powell (May 30, 1915 – October 14, 2013) was an American etiquette instructor and talent agent. She taught grooming, poise, and social graces to many recording artists at Motown in the 1960s. Born Maxine Blair in Texarkana, Texas, she was raised by her aunt in Chicago, Illinois. She graduated from Hyde Park High School in 1933, attended Madam C.J. Walker's School of Beauty Culture, and worked as a manicurist to finance her acting studies; she also studied elocution and dance. In the early 1940s she worked as a model and as a personal maid, and she developed a one-woman show, An Evening with Maxine Powell, which she performed with a group at the Chicago Theatre.

  • Maxine Powell, född 30 maj 1915 i Texarkana i Texas, död 14 oktober 2013 i Southfield i Michigan, var skådespelerska, sminkös, fotomodell och initiativtagare till Detroits första svarta modellagentur. Powell är mest känd för att under fem år ha drivit Motowns charmskola. Där undervisade hon bland annat Marvin Gaye och Diana Ross. Powell undervisade i etikett, hur de skulle uppträda samt bete sig med journalister. Powell berättar att utbildningen syftade till att förbereda artisterna på två saker, en inbjudan från Vita huset och en inbjudan från Buckingham Palace. Utbildningen som Powell gav artisterna som var knutna till Motown var obligatorisk. (sv)
