The Curse of beauty

Audrey Munson was America's first supermodel. When she was a little girl of five years old, she and her mother visited a Gypsy fortune teller. What they heard was accurate---she would be beloved and famous, would make a fortune but waste it all, and would never find true love, although many men would be in her life. She became the artist's model of choice and her form appears on the greatest monuments of New York and the nation. Her beauty made her famous, especially when it was carved in stone. Her beauty also paved the way for her life of glamour, passion, and ultimately tragedy. Her promising career collapsed, her doctor fell in love with her and killed his own wife, and on her fortieth birthday, her mother committed her to an insane asylum. She remained there until her death in 1996 at the age of 104.
