- This is the complete film of Evelyn Nesbit singing a tawdry self-referential song at Bilgray's Garden in Colon, Panama in June of 1930. The hostess can be heard introducing her as "Evelyn Nesbit."
Evelyn is introduced at 2:21
This is awesome- Evelyn Nesbit was my great grandmother!! Thank you for sharing
Have you been in touch with Paula Uruburu who wrote the book American Eve? Email me at crubeo66@gmail.com and I'll hook you up with her.
Seriously? wow
wow Evelyn was so beautiful like you now.
Amanda Thaw this does not look at all like the young Evelyn.
It's her. Believe me, it's her.
I’m here after watching Obsolete Oddity’s video on Evelyn Nesbit.
You can tell this lady has class, I heard of her life's story and it was tragic, she was a lovely lady to the end. Thank you for sharing.
Read AMERICAN EVE.
In a not so odd twist, I have come to the story about Evelyn Nesbit by watching the movie "Ragtime" and I find her entire life story amazing and sad. But I see her , Evelyn as a Hero for so many reasons!!!
Read "American Eve."
Hero? She was an untalented, illiterate, spendthrift wastrel.
She is a hero. She had no one to protect her. Her mother left her with a predator and known rapist to be used and abused. Then her mother, instead of working to support her little girl, put her daughter out to work to support her. With all the things that happened, Evelyn rose above the horrible, insane people around her who used her beauty to benefit themselves, and didn't lose herself. She definitely was a hero.
@@waremblem3405 Shut up.
im reading the book rn
What an incredible time capsule this film is
I really like Evelyn's voice here - very full and brassy! I recently read a (fairly new) book on Evelyn's life which was very well researched - and a great read to boot! It's called, "The Girl in the Velvet Swing" by Simon Baatz, for those who might be interested. The author did a great job of conveying day-to-day life, in "upper class society," of New York City, in the early 1900's. Evelyn was like Dorothy Gale - having been dropped into a world (which she didn't quite understand) and life's events quickly overtook her. In the end, she did prevail with a great drive and belief in her own self-sufficiency.
Brassy - good word!
People age and it is normal, even for such beauty icon Evelyn Nesbit; her life was never easy after those trials and struggling to survive in later years. Brave woman as many as from that period who had to live in a culture and society brainwashing girls to accept the ideal life controlled by men. She was just a 14 years old girl already being introduced to abusive men, coming from a hard life with her mother and brother. I just have the feeling of disgust and revolt at, first, that old man (probably as many pedophile of the period who saw her as a potential toy) taking this naive girl "under his protection" without any other intention than sexual purposes. And after that she had to bear all the psychological abuse from a sociopath for long time. A spiral of events happening very quick through her transition from a young girl into a young woman...and older; it just makes me believe she never had the opportunity and support to recover from those deep traumatic experiences.
Hi there….how are you doing? Hope you're fine and staying safe?
it seems those girls should thank those men for supporting them and their children, regardless of whose children they were, for their entire lives. But women are so self-serving that they do not look at it that way, only how could they have gotten more. typical female and they never change. the muslims have to right take on it. keep the female in her place or she will stab u in your back.
This is wonderful love it. It's nice to see something like this in its original video. Beautiful.
Love these archival films. Love Evelyn Nesbit.
Awesome time capsule. At the start I love how the guy at the table leaps to his feet when his date returns to the table. As for the one and only Evelyn Nesbit, we should all age so gracefully. In her prime you had to get in line to photograph her. That was one lucky line.
Considering her age at the time, she was still quite a lovely woman. She would have been 51-52 years old here. She did not have a strong voice , but it's obvious she had considerable presence.
Ultimately went and taught ceramics and sculpture during the war at an art school. Clearly had some talent...
tm502010 She's 48 here. This was 1933. She was born on Christmas day in 1884.
She was born in 1884. Which means she would not be fifty until 1934. She was in her forties in 1930. She was slightly older than May West.
Yes, I guess she aged pretty well.
She's Beautiful.
Thank you for posting this. She also toured with Mae West long before West's great success. there is something reminiscent of West's singing style here, maybe Mae got it from her!
Mae was only a few years younger than her!
Look at MW’s style closely, she got it from someone but it’s nobody white…
There is a website that colorizes and animates old photos. They have a photo of Evelyn in 1902 with her smiling. The most beautiful woman to ever walk this planet.
"The most beautiful woman to ever walk this planet."
Not by a long shot. Far, far from it.
This is a SENSATIONAL find! Thank you so much for posting it!
I disagree with the description.. this isn't exactly tawdry nor is it demeaning as some people think
. The lyrics are about being a survivor and finding humour in the situation as you crawl out of the pit of hell. Determination and exultation after surviving the long ordeal. I knew she was spunky and determined to keep her head up when I read what she said about lawyers. Survivor story and inspiring how one can keep on keeping on and maintaining optimism despite being put in such an unfair position from the get go by ones own mother and a situation doomed to end tragically
What did you make of the lines about the trial… and what I’m pretty sure sounded like “I’m with Stanford once more”?!
Such a beauty and such a sad life
Thank you for sharing...she was such a beauty and a very strong lady
Hi there….how are you doing? Hope you're fine and staying safe?
It was Evelyn Nesbit who discovered Baby Rose Marie- the child singer who grew up to star on the Dick Van Dyke Show. She lived quite a life- constantly re-inventing herself; from dancer, motion picture actress, speakeasy owner, singer- and sculptress. At times in this video- she looks cross- eyed and she can't sing worth squat- but she was definitely a survivor!
Unless it's been taken down recently, somewhere on TH-cam there is a great old video of Baby Rose Marie belting out a song. Very cute and funny.
@@bentleyr00d baby Rose Marie was a friend of the gangster Bugsy Siegel during the time of the opening night of the Flamingo in Las Vegas.
Thank you for the comment, though I love this, I am in love. I would love it if I could land in her speakeasy Midnight in Paris movie style. :D
such a beauty at her age. one of the most beautiful during her era.
RIP Evelyn.
Happy Birthday Miss Evelyn Nesbit ... Thanks Christopher Rubeo
There is an excellent documentary here on TH-cam that details her life entitled Fatal Beauty: Evelyn Nesbit, Harry K. Thaw, and The Murder of Stanford White. It is a tale beyond what Hollywood writers could ever imagin and is well worth watching. To me it is fascinating how all involved are both perpetrators and victims.
Perps play victum. Script Flipping Narrisstic trait of the triade kine…
she reminds me of barbara stanwyck
This is so great ! Thank you for sharing
Beautiful times and so was Evelyn. 🥹
She must have been in her 50's here and looked great!
I would love to see someone make a decent movie out of her story - or even a good documentary would be nice. It's quite a story. And yes I think she was extraordinarily beautiful and a fabulous model. No wonder everyone wanted to photograph her at that time.
Some people tell me I look good for my age but at the same time, I pretty much photograph as a hag most of the time. So I think she looks pretty good here. It's just a shame about her hair but 1930's hairstyles weren't particularly flattering to older women and from what I understand about her, I doubt she cared that much anyway. At least we have a lot more options today.
She was a survivor, that's for sure. And yes, Christopher, I ordered the book yesterday! :)
They made "Ragtime", but that was a long time ago.

Dude, there already is a movie and it's much more than decent. The title is RAGTIME. Googling stuff doesn't hurt ya know.
@@marcinb4647 Dude, I know about Ragtime.
PBS American Experience has an episode about her.
This is really amazing.. thank you
she looks good and this is 20 odd yrs later.
Thank you for sharing this. I am researching her for something I am writing and am glad I found this. 💖
Read "American Eve" by Paula Uruburu. It's a fantastic biography of Evelyn Nesbit.
I have the book on order. Just waiting for it to arrive. :)
*I'm glad.
Evelyn with her ubiquitous boa. The first three takes were painful to listen to but the last one was alright. Some audience members dressed in 20's style dress so probably early 30's is right. The one thing Evelyn hated about show biz was having to repeat the same song, same fake smile, same enthusiasm, day after day. She in fact quit a number of gigs in the late 10s because of this, only to sign on with other clubs. She once owned a club called Café Evelyn. Evelyn never, ever wore undergarments
First thing I noticed in this clip: no bra/girdle?
How do you know that? Did you read it somewhere?
wonderful!
She was already at her 40s at the time but was still very gorgeous, and all was natural beauty btw
Not bad at all. Maybe she wasn't the most professional singer but she was entertaining, had a good voice and could stay in key.
Hi there….how are you doing? Hope you're fine and staying safe?
@@jacksonlow7470 I am, I hope you're staying safe too.
It's rare moments like this when I think of the people born a thousand years hence, experiencing ancient photography from our grandfather's era, only 40 generations later..and also makes me wish that I could have done the same. Happy New Year to them!

Glad I already watch her life story in Obsolete Oddity’s before i watch
this.
Wow! I have never seen or heard a clip of her moving and singing.
I think shes great
I never heard about this lady before and today after reading her story my heart bleeds for her. What a tragic story.
My message to all young girls. Having natural beauty the world may offer you lots of temptations and traps wrapped in shiny covers.
Don't buy it, be cautious, be chast. Focus on your development, study and career.
researching her after beginning Ragtime by EL Doctorow
Greg Huffman I love that book. I read it in the late 1970's I think, and it has stuck with me all these years. Truly memorable, and I learned a lot about America. I am pleasantly surprised to see this new-found renaissance.
I'll give her an a for confidence. C- for singing.
That song was a bit racy for the times.
Those dresses 😍😍😍
Thanks for sharing this, always wondered what she sounded like. Would love to find a documentary about her earlier life, if you know of one please let me know. Thanks again.
Christopher Rubeo Where i can find her silent films?
Hi! Ck out ObsoleteOddities videos. He has at least one video on her. In fact he's running a contest right now & the winner gets a picture of her taken from the apt way back. She's holding a cat & the pic is in a pretty frame. If you win you have to pay for the shipping.
Oddie is a very sweet man & a great story teller/video maker!
Try David Lowe's book, "Stanford White's New York" (1992).
Ruth Shelton I love Oddie's videos. His Evelyn Nesbit one was the first one I ever saw. I highly recommend his channel to others here.
Soothing
When she actually sings, she can sing.
She was absolutely beautiful❤
Also, I'm trying to find out if Evelyn was the 1904 Prudential Insurance pin-up girl. Anyone know for sure?
She was just an ordinary woman who got notoriety.
What was "ordinary" in 1906?
@@grabitt.4013 After seeing her film auto biography with Joan Collins so many times it's interesting to see the real person and what actually happen contrary to film version
The math seems off ...If Evelyn's birthdate is correct, Christmas Day, 1884...that would make her in her forties here. I don't think it is her. Seems more like a 'spoof' or something...making fun of her more than autobiographical.
IF it is her, I find it actually kind of bittersweet/sad, given the real Evelyn went through hell in her lifetime and ended up with nothing but infamy and a scarlet letter. She was used by both men.
Dark .Soliton don't you DARE leave that bitch mother out of it!! She used her worse than anyone!!!
Unfortunately, she had problems with drugs and drinking, which made her age faster
What a piece of history of most likely Americans living abroad in Panama in the 1930s. Other than the band, they all look like gringos. Some appear quite tall. Perhaps US Army personnel or civilian workers with the Panama Canal. Colon was on the Caribbean side near the entrance to the canal. The ladies' dress and hairdos remind one of the 'flapper' era of the '30s. What a great time they were having. USA ex-pats looking for a resemblance of the US life they were missing by living abroad. I lived in South America in the '60s as a teenager and understand that need and urge--trying to get access to the music and dance revolution our stateside counterparts were enjoying (Beatles, Beachboys, Motown, etc.)
She was cool.
Wow, she's 48 here and looks 30. No botox injections, either. 📌
she does not look 30, she looks her age though no longer a beauty
She looks horrible for 30
EvilUnicorn She's not 30. She's 48.
She's 46. This was in June of 1930 and Evelyn would be 47 the following Dec.
Most historians think Evelyn's mother exaggerated her age by 2 years to avoid child labor laws, so in essence she was born in 1886 , started modeling in Pittsburgh at 12, became the world's first supermodel in New York at 14, became a showgirl/rape victim/magnet for unsolicited marriage proposals at 15. Even John Barrymore, her lover closest to her in age was technically a pedophile. That would also make her age here 44.
evelyn was born 1884, if this was filmed in the 30's then that makes her over 45 in the film...
Hi there….how are you doing? Hope you're fine and staying safe?
Wow... She really was an “it girl”...
What are the words to the song she is singing? I cant understand the chorus
"No man's woman now", a real feminist that Evelyn, before fems were 'popular?' Well, I liked this, and nice to see her singing persona, too, having just viewed those earlier images of her when dating Stanford, then marrying Thaw. And what a doll, uh, woman, she truly was.
No man's MOMMA now.
She did'nt just HIT THE WALL, IT COLLASPED ON HER, & SUED HER FOR UNPAID DAMAGE'S !!!
Only one man is not wearing a jacket (and maybe not even a tie). The couple who ends up on the right hand side as the music stops. He is wearing a white dress shirt and , perhaps, a bow tie.
In many ways she was a victim as much as Mr. White. Her life would never be the same after the events at the old Madison Square Theatre...'Stanny was lucky. He died...I lived.." (Evelyn Nesbit)
You may wonder what's the reason
For this great big smile;
Say, I haven't been so happy
In the longest while!
Got a big load off my mind,
Here's the papers, sealed and signed;
And the judge was nice and kind,
All through the trial.
This ends the five-year war,
I'm sweet Miss Nesbit once more!
I can come when I please, I can go when I please,
I can flit, fly and flutter like the birds in the trees,
Because I'm no man's mamma now!
Hey, hey!
I can say what I like, I can do what I like,
I'm a gal who is on a matrimonial strike;
Which means, I'm no man's mamma now!
I'm screamin', "There, I know how
A fella feels gettin' out of jail, "
I've got twin beds,
But I take pleasure in announcin' one's for sale!
Am I makin' it plain? I will never again
Drag around another ball and chain!
I'm through,
Because, I'm no man's mamma now!
I can smile, I can wink, I can go take a drink,
And I don't have to worry what my hubby will think!
Because, I'm no man's mamma now!
Get it fixed!
I can spend if I choose, I can play and sing the blues,
There's nobody messing with my ones and my twos,
Because, I'm no man's mamma now!
You know that there was a time
I used to think that men were grand,
But no more for mine,
I've gone and labeled my apartment
"No Man's Land!"
I got rid of my cat, 'cause my cat's name was Pat,
Won't even have a mailbox in my flat!
Because, I'm no man's mamma now
Loves Meraphor-I agree with you that she is the heroine in all of this. The pitiful job Evelyn,s mother did in bringing her up. The waste of the talent and intellect of this girl cannot be forgiven. Those other poor excuses for men in her life-stanford White, Harry Thaw, John Barrymore also committed sins against Evelyn that are unforgivable.
Not to mention brother Howard:(
Cute
ugh, I say that and then I realize nobody seems to know how to make a decent movie these days
She was a feminist in times where feminism was never toxic. She just lived her choice and smiled 😍
Just think! They had no idea the carnage just around the corner
This is way after that happened...like 20 years lol.
Al I can say she looks nothing like the photos on Google images.
She aged like we all do. Even then, she was still only around 50 here. And Stanford White wasn't around to fix her teeth again.
She does ive seen her in more pics.. I can see the resemblance. You have to see more pics of her.. The famous ones of her are the ones she looks flattering in. She wasn't all that
Where was this shot and how did you find it?!?! Awesome!
It was shot inside the famous Bilgray Garden’s in Colon, Panama in the 1930’s, a place of ultimate class for it’s time!!!
Time, you thief, who love to get
Sweets into your list, put that in!
Say I’m weary, say I’m sad,
Say that health and wealth have miss’d me,
Say I’m growing old, but add,
Evelyn kiss’d me.
...Oh,Gosh, Time stolen not only her beauty, but my beautiful imagination...Sigh. something are better left unfound.
ain't it the truth!
her teeth are goofy like mine
Joan Collins played her in a movie- the Girl on Red Velvet Swing -but they do not look a bit alike.
You are right Joan was much better looking.
Wrong. Joan was in her early 20s in that film but she didn't hold a candle in terms of beauty to the real Evelyn Nesbit during the time frame depicted in the film.She was dazzling. Click on the link below to see what the real Evelyn Nesbit looked like during her modeling years.

@@addicted367 Evelyn Nesbit was a captivating woman; Joan Collins is mostly lipstick, mascara and Max Factor. Lots of Max Factor.
Starbuck2015 beauty is subjective
Nesbit was still alive, at the time -- there are photographs of her visiting the film's set. It really puts time into perspective.
All American Girl!
I'm sure nobody will believe me mainly because someone already said they were related to her but so am I, I'm her distant relative, my mother was/is a Nesbit, I'm not sure how I relate to her but I do
Didn't Joan Collins play her in the movie?
If you listen closely thhe first women introduced her as Evelyn Sampson ... I didn't know she was ever married to a Sampson
If it was 1930, she would be around 46 years old.
Can you post more about Evelyn Nesbit please
is that really singing i must be a secret millionaire
So sad.
Inspiration I guess for J-lo's ain't your momma
Look at those tuckshop arms! Very daggy look
It’s been five years after this video was posted. But I am currently working on a Creative project which will be a Chapbook inspired by Evelyn Nesbit. Of course I know the full story of 1906 Crime of the Century. I was sparked by a repeat episode of the Dead Files in 2016 when she investigated a house in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that is allegedly haunted by the Ghosts of Evelyn Nesbit and her Husband Harry K Thaw. It turns out my empathy radar was working better than I thought and I think it’s time for a Writer like me to add my voice and vision to the process.
She lived in florida and is buried by her mother- her great lane was thaw
I’m sorry california with her 2nd husband and son

According to imdb.com Evelyn Nesbit made 13 films between 1907 and 1922. Does anyone know whether any of these has survived?
I'm still looking for them! No luck, yet.
They did not survive.
The first rapper!
2:29 Confusing: the presenter announces Evelyn, but the last name could be heard as “Nesbit” or “Sampson”
This is so sad,she was used by men and women all her life! She was once the face of youthful beauty and here she sings for her supper.
Who else listened to the Criminal podcast about Stanford White's death?
American Eve is a great book.
I amo not sure she is Eveyn Nesbit
4:53 :O
Wtf
What I'd like to know is how she does those disappearing tricks :)
Is she singing same thing three times???
Yes, because they filmed it many times.
It's interesting, what was she doing in Colon, Panama? She wasn't married to no one stationed there. Hmm!
Around that time period, Colon was a hotspot for the good life, between the strangers club, bilgray’s, Atlantic nite, it was full of American night life, especially around those times!!!
The enlisted club in Clayton? Time to get the silver bullet at Gorgon?
Not being mean , but I didn't recognize her from the pictures I've seen. Thought she was more attractive
Well was close to 50 and had had both drinking and drug problems...
Read AMERICAN EVE.
Very true. Not a hero at all. Very much a narcissistic actress-type. Her grandson told me she always needed to be the center of attention. Not surprising. But she was also fun to be around. A free-spirit, definitely.
"Narcissistic actress type." Hmm. I'm astonished by your acute depth of perception.
Even old women who once were stunning are still looking beautiful in old age. But she was always the regular girl next door type. She just looks flattering in some pics. But if you look closely, some other pics of her in her young age, she had a big nose and head and her eyes were not beautiful or special
I came here to say she looks like Momoland Nancy Mcdonie.
That’s the longest song I ever heard!
What was wrong with her teeth?
Average, somewhat crooked, and stained after years of eating, drinking and smoking. This was before braces, teeth bleaching and veneers.
What is the refrain? I can't understand her.
Evelyn Nesbit sings "I'm Nobody's Momma Now!"
i don't get it, she's not super attractive at all, the way she's made out to be is like an angel.
Well, she's pretty old and washed up here. The iconic photos of her were taken when she was 15/16.
hey i saw those iconic photo's still pretty mediocre. I learnt about this story through the podcast this is criminal. Times have changed and with that beauty standards as she was made out to be the most beautiful it girl in the world.
@Pepsi Max i dnno i definately think females have a lower beauty standard oppose when it comes to males ex need to look like a brad pitt clone to be deemed attractive.
True... Even old women who once were stunning are still looking beautiful in old age. But she was always the regular girl next door type. She just looks flattering in some pics. But if you look closely, some other pics of her in her young age, she had a big nose and head and her eyes were not beautiful or special
I guess she removed her repaired tooth?
The Tonya Harding of her era, reduced to pathetic, self-demeaning stunts after the previous involvement in a murder scandal (Harding assault & battery).
That's harsh, and wrong. She never physically hurt anyone or plotted to cause anyone harm, even though she had every reason to. She does not appear miserable, pathetic and definitely isnt demeaning herself by singing on camera, in a dance hall surrounded by well dressed good looking people who are admiring her.
Soo nice try.
@@mariecolette9066 Thank you. What seems to be the truth is that: First of all, her mother was too trusting of Mr. White; second, she might have known herself that when a rich man who doesn't have to work for his money starts showering you with gifts and showing you all around Europe, some kind of trouble is just around the corner.
I think her marriage to a half-crazy spoiled rich kid did her more damage than the sexual assault, as bad as that was.
She said as not involved.She was the victim.
This is sad.
