    Great vid as usual. I'm surprised they didn't make a biopic yet on her. Also drinking all this mercury only to end up living until 100 is crazy.

    TOM! How long did it take to carve and sculpt all that stuff?! I mean, jeez. Early 1900s musta been a flurry of chisels, picks and granite dust.. Is there a more laborious art form? Super glad we have them though. Most of us take them for granite. Sorry couldn't resist. 🗽

    I grew up in NYC, and I've always believed that cramming so many people into a city, especially NYC, can drive anyone crazy. Actually, I know a few people who still live there and have lost their minds.

    Tom, I'm so thankful you've done this video. I was completely unaware of Audrey Munson until I started watching your videos, and I find her story to be super interesting. Keep up the great work, and thank you once again!

    When was this filmed Tom? I was all over NYC for 7 days. Just got back to Kentucky last Tuesday. It rained all day there Oct 12th. The whole time there we never saw 1 police horse.

    I've been aware of her statutes but never knew there was a real person standing behind them. Wow, what a story! Thanks alot. Another great story behind this wonderful city.

    • @dissidentfairy4264
      @dissidentfairy4264 11 місяців тому

      Statutes? Isn't that a legal term? Instead of a legislative body we have a femme fatale body. ( just ask Dr. Wilkins). Things got hot and heavy for him after he killed his wife, but not in the way he had envisioned. lol ( I know it's a typo but I thought it was fun and couldn't resist:-) 🧚‍♀

  • @coolaunt516
    @coolaunt516 11 місяців тому +2

    OK, I got confused for a moment. I googled and Audrey was born in Rochester, NY, so technically (and I hate to split hairs, honestly), she moved to NYC from Rochester. At first I thought she was born outside of NY state.

    Fun Fact! If ever in Madison, WI, there is a Hilton hotel downtown that names their restaurant after Audrey and information in the elevators describing her as the first Supermodel.

  • @isabellec857

    Dude you make great video. I loved this one as I never knew she was on soo many art statues. Statues were the billboards of those years, sad today we barely notice them.
    Superbe video and I
    Love your humor along the way when watching your videos.

    There's a fine line between genius and insanity. We may all end up in a "nut house" one day if things keep on the way they are going. At least we have Tom and his "sick" jokes to momentarily distract us from all of the madness. lol 🧚‍♀
