"The Awesome Tragedy Of Audrey Munson's Strange Life" (Movie Weekly, July 1, 1922)

As a supplement to my recent video about the downfall of Audrey Munson, I found a story supposedly written by her that appeared in Movie Weekly in 1922.

Wow. The toast of the town at such a young age, immensely famous, to trying to kill herself. Also, supposedly rejecting a very powerful man and then she couldn't find work. Not so different than a powerful movie mogul who just took a fall from grace after YEARS of this. So incredibly sad for this young lady and anyone else who suffered through this. This is such a sad story.

Fame is a fickle friendship. Interesting to see how beauty changes 🤔 in history.

Amazing channel. And such a tragic story here, kept me on my toes the entire time.

[@RosieBallads]

Thanks for making these videos, they are so well done! Poor Audrey :(

[@dianacooper-havlik9085]

Incredible

[@rubysoho423]

Fascinating and so tragic

[@nopenope7769]

I love your channel so much!

[@kimberlymclees8189]

Thanks for sharing this tragic story. I believe I read a book about Audrey but I can't remember how her life ended. I'll have to look it up. Thanks for your great channel!

[@feliciagaffney1998]

He did another video about her a few days prior to this which goes into more detail about the end of her life. Which, tragically, was very long.

[@kattrakee]

Interesting but very sad story😢 😔

[@maudietriplett]

So much for death prematurely stalking her... She lived to be 104!!

[@ianpeddle6818]

Thank you for posting what a sad story and just shows celebrity is destructive in any age

[@kesmarn]

Thanks so much for continuing to produce excellent content even under difficult circumstances with navigating the KZbin system. This is a tragic story. So ironic that Audrey -- as a child of 14 --- was severely shamed for posing and being filmed, while the artists who hired her and sculpted or painted her image experienced no consequences at all and even profited from exploiting her.

Can you please do a list of public domain films or stuff from the 1920s are going into the public domain on public domain day

[@sendachimptospace]

Coming back swinging

[@bennorwood8433]

Can you do a list of ghost town that became abandoned during the 1920s

[@bennorwood8433]

Can you please do a video about science fiction magazines in the 1920s and there Contant

[@crimesofthecentury2714]

Love the 1920's, fascinating decade.

[@FaithAndRepentance]

Truly is tragic how similar fates met so many young star struck woman throughout the last few hundred years. Ms Munson today can still been seen today in art peices throughout the world, foyntains, statues, buildings. Poor girl, this story 😢

[@kl1346]

How heartbreakingly sad. I find it even more disturbing that she lived to be 104 and spent the rest of her living life, which lasted until 1996, locked away in an institution.

[@bennorwood8433]

Can you please do small town wife video in the 1920

[@bennorwood8433]

Can you please do a video about radio programs in the 1920s and possibly read a schedule in the newspaper from that time

[@angierucinski5694]

Groomed, poor soul.

[@angelsaltamontes7336]

This Material Girl, born in the 19th Century, not only exploited (yeah, Snowflake, i said "exploited") her dubious blessings in full exertion at every 20th Centuy Club Hedon she could make, and helped articulate the model for the vapid, conceited, cynical beauties of all genders in the 21st. If words quoted here as hers turned out to be Amy Winehouse's or Kurt Cobain's, i'd not be surprised. Irony abounds. Audrey Munson lived to be well over 100 (passing not long before her 105th bday). She spent the latter 70 years of her life, though, thinking and talking about her life, her things, her self, her, her, her. In a life that ran into the mid-1990s, a calendar on the wall of her mind bore a picture of her, and said it was perpetually 1922.

[@courtneymoran3759]

A woman after my own broken heart...

[@amethyst205]

Awww the poor girl.

[@givemepizzaorgivemedeath3983]

She died at age 104 in 1996. So much for being cursed.

[@gmanette188]

Between the lady and the writer took a lot liberties with this article

[@michaelmcintosh8599]

Her choice to be a model wasn't the issue it's her unfortunate exploitation. I am a photographer who shoot and manages several models none of which I 've every tried to be romantically involved with they all respect me highly and I respect and treat them as daughters. Sadly her experience isn't an isolated situation and many photographers, artists give a bad name to the art.

[@ilahildasissac1943]

You are a rare and decent guy in that field

[@skylarkportraitstudio]

This was so badly written that I often found myself wishing she would simply get on with it before I died of a clotted syntax overdose.

[@bennorwood8433]

Can anyone do anything about the town of Lawton Kansas and its dying economy

Mexico, New York.
