By the time Audrey Munson turned 25 years old, she had became a muse for some of the most famous artists in America, the busiest artist\u2019s model of her day,\n\nShe was such a fixture of the Greenwich Village art world in the early 20th century that she was called the Venus of Washington Square, although by 1913 the press had given her a grander nickname \u2014 Miss Manhattan.\n\nHer face and figure adorned public sculpture and museum masterpieces. And they do to this day.\xa0\n\nBut just a few years after working with these great artists, Audrey Munson disappeared from the New York art world,\xa0caught up in a murder scandal that would unfairly ruin her reputation.\xa0\n\nAnd on her 40th birthday she would be locked away forever.\xa0\n\nboweryboyshistory.com\n\nJoin the Bowery Boys Podcast on Patreon for extra audio features, access to cool merchandise and early access to tickets for live events.\xa0\n\nPlease considerwriting a review of our podcast on Apple Podcasts.
