Evelyn began her modeling career in 1901 at the age of 16, before those pesky child labor and child endangerment rules became common. She was known for her extremely long and wavy red hair, and her slender yet shapely body.

Modeling in her day consisted of posing for artists for sculptures and paintings, and she was the most successful model in the newly created field of "fashion photography model". She was a Supermodel before they existed...likely the reason she never got into heroin and anorexia.

Evelyn will best be remembered throughout history as the woman behind The Love Triangle of the Century. Seems her 1st husband was just a little on the jealous side, and when he saw the man who deflowered his young wife at the theater, he shot him 3 times in the face at point blank range. He's reported to have exclaimed after his shots "Bitch, that's for messin' my ho" (NOTE - fact check this). Her husband used the first successful temporary insanity plea in history to walk out of prison. Hot chicks can do crazy things to a man!
