    Interesting, I just ran across reference to a man named "Thaw" yesterday and I had never heard or read of anyone with that name before. Check out her shoes. Wow. This woman had money

    What a complicated way to dress. Glad fashion has evolved.
  • EspressoBuzz said:
    Wow. The image is so clean and crisp. Looks like it was shot recently. Amazing to imagine that she had no idea what she'd see in her lifetime (WW1, etc).
  • NoVaBeth said:
    What an amazing photo of Evelyn Nesbit! Thank you, Library of Congress.
  • Nathan Adams said:
    Her name was Evelyn Nesbit. She was a chorus girl who had relationships with Stanford White, John Barrymore, & the rather unstable Mr. Thaw. During a performance one night, Thaw shot Stanford White in the face three times, killing him instantly. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evelyn_Nesbit

    No wonder she had affairs. She's quite attractive. I wonder what she's doing tomorrow night? Do you have her email address?

    yes it is an amazing story...could be a good movie, hopefully better than the first one with joan collins.
  • NoVaBeth said:
    It looks like Evelyn Nesbit but she is not retouched in this one! I bet she wouldn't have liked this picture of her. Not so glamorous.
