My Take
Audrey Munson fascinates me because she predates the whole vocabulary we now use for fame. Calling her 'America's first supermodel' isn't hyperbole when you learn she inspired more than twelve statues in New York City alone, plus many more elsewhere. The nicknames pile up beautifully: Miss Manhattan, the Panama-Pacific Girl, American Venus. I find it striking that her image is literally carved into a city's architecture, a kind of permanence most celebrities never get. Born in 1891 and living to 1996, she spanned an astonishing arc of history. To me she's a reminder that being seen and being remembered are two very different things.
