  Story of Evelyn Nesbit and the Thaw-White Murder
"The agony of Evelyn in the years of her girlhood formed the prelude to a long continuous drama of sorrow, the murk and gloom of which was never illuminated by a ray of sunshine until what occurred on the roof of Madison Square Garden and Stanford White fell dead."
Nesbit, Thaw and White enacted an archetypical tragedy of sex and violent death on a dark, urban stage.
The story is a disturbing marriage of the breaking of ancient taboos and the anxiety of life in an ultimately unknowable city; a tale of innocence lost in a myriad of ways.

Evelyn, meanwhile, toured vaudeville and starred in The Threads of Destiny (1915), which featured her young son Russell Thaw and future husband Jack Clifford.
She chose to bill herself Evelyn Nesbit-Thaw for this much hyped melodrama and the ensuing notoriety earned her a contract with Fox, who obviously saw her as something of a real-life Theda Bara.
More than 30 years later, Nesbit's old studio, Fox, hired her as a "consultant" on The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing (1955), a highly fictionalized account of the Thaw affair featuring Joan Collins as Evelyn, Ray Milland as Stanford White, and Farley Granger as Harry.

  Evelyn Nesbit
Evelyn Nesbit (December 25, 1884 - January 17, 1967) was a model and actress noted for her entanglement in the murder of her ex-lover, Stanford White, by her husband Harry K. Thaw.
Thaw became increasingly jealous of Nesbit (he began carrying a pistol), and was especially sensitive about her prior relationship with Stanford White.
On June 25, 1906 Evelyn and Harry saw White at a restaurant (the Cafè Martin) and ran into him again in the audience of the old Madison Square Garden's roof theatre at a performance of Mamzelle Champagne.

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.
