 | | Evelyn Nesbit (December 25, 1884 – January 17, 1967) was an artists' model and chorus girl, noted for her entanglement in the murder of her ex-lover, architect Stanford White, by her first husband, Harry K. Thaw. |
 | | For years Evelyn, her mother, and younger brother lived in near-poverty, but by the time she reached adolescence her beauty came to the attention of several local artists, including John Storm, and she was able to find employment as an artists' model. |
 | | Nesbit overcame both alcoholism and an addiction to morphine, and in her later years taught classes in ceramics (in addition to being a technical adviser on the 1955 movie The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing.) She died in a nursing home in Santa Monica, California on January 17 1967, at the age of 82. |
