Evelyn Nesbit (1884-1967)For years Evelyn and her mother and younger brother lived in near-poverty, but by the time she reached adolescence her startling beauty came to the attention of several local artists. Evelyn became one of the most in-demand artists' models in New York. She was noted for her entanglement in the murder of her ex-lover, architect Stanford White, by her first husband, Harry Kendall Thaw. The 1906 murder quickly became known as "The Crime of the Century" and Evelyn Nesbit became known as "The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing." These events made a strong imprint on the American mind. The word brainstorm originated as a description of Harry Thaw's wild state of mind at the time of the murder. Stanford White, the once respectable victim, became a laughingstock, and his coy invitation to "Come up and see my etchings," became a commonly repeated joke. And Evelyn Nesbit became famous for, among other things, "posing on a bear skin rug."
