247 - Miss Manhattan, Audrey Munson

Audrey Munson became America's first supermodel shortly after the turn of the 20th century.  She became the most desired model for sculptures all over New York and beyond, earning the nickname Miss Manhattan.  While her fame initially translated into wealth and a movie career, tragedy soon befell her.  She ended up spending the last 65 years of her life committed to a mental institution, eventually dying at age 104 in 1996.
