The scandalous story of Americas first supermodel, sex goddess, and modern celebrityEvelyn Nesbit. By the time of her sixteenth birthday in 1900, Evelyn Nesbit was known to millions as the most photographed woman of her era, an iconic figure who set the standard for female beauty, and whose innocent sexuality was used to sell everything from chocolates to perfume. Women wanted to be her. Men just wanted her. But when Evelyns life of fantasy became all too real and her insanely jealous millionaire husband, Harry K. Thaw, murdered her lover, New York City architect Stanford White, the most famous woman in the world became infamous as she found herself at the center of the Crime of the Century and a scandal that signaled the beginning of a national obsession with youth, beauty, celebrity, and sex.

Up next from my bedside stack.
I keep thinking I‘ve read this, but I‘m not sure if I‘ve just seen and read enough bits about it that I think I‘ve read it. Oh well we shall see.

Non-fiction that reads like a thriller? True crime meets legal drama? An exploration of celebrity, beauty, scandal and feminism? Sign me up! This book has been on my #TBR for years and #bookspinBingo and @TheAromaofBooks finally got me to read it! And I‘m so glad I did! Highly recommend! #joyousjanuary @Andrew65

On my #tbr list...a silent film era actress and “it” girl, whose husband murdered her lover. Sounds like this true crime story has a little bit of something for everyone...#ASilentShout #OctoberXFiles

Crazeedi I read another book on this subject, a kinda different take. Her mother was the influence behind this, she pushed her daughter into terrible situation for fame. I cannot remember the name of that book but it was good. I'm adding 5y
Librarybelle @Crazeedi That sounds good too! If you remember the title, let me know! 5y
Reviewsbylola I remember really liking this one when I read it, but I remember very little about it. 5y
