American Eve: Evelyn Nesbit, Stanford White, The Birth of the "It" Girl and the Crime of te Century

genre: Biographies & Memoirs
description:
she was “the American Eve” who proved too much of a temptation for famed architect Stanford White, shot to death in the “New Garden” he had created at Madison Square by Nesbit’s demented millionaire husband, Harry K. Thaw. She was the star witness in the first sensational "trial of the century," and tragically, almost as quickly as her star rose, America’s first super model, sex-goddess, and bona-fide celebrity fell victim to the very culture that created and consumed her.
