“美国第一位超级名模”奥黛丽·曼森（Audrey Munson）在30岁时试图自杀。她虽幸免于难，却在精神病院度过了余生，直至1996年去世，享年104岁。1922年5月。

Sounds like it would make a good movie. I wonder if she was actually insane or if she was just too rebellious for the time. Either way, 64 years in any institution would make anyone crazy.

Sounds like a kick ass lady who wanted to spend her waning years with a cocktail and peering at the young men. Good for her.

I can’t blame a grown woman for wanting to go out from time to time, with her freedom so restricted for most of her life.

Bless her! She spent so much of her life locked away. She just wanted a bit of fun.

That wasn't very uncommon especially for wealthy people, they'd put their family away so they didn't have to deal with them. My god I just read that wikipedia entry! In 1919, Audrey Munson was living with her mother in a boarding house at 164 West 65th Street, Manhattan, owned by Dr. Walter Wilkins. Wilkins fell in love with Munson, and on February 27, murdered his wife, Julia, so he could be available for marriage.[^(\[16\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audrey_Munson#cite_note-gilding-16) Munson and her mother left New York, and the police sought them for questioning. After a nationwide hunt, they were located. They refused to return to New York, but were questioned by agents from the [Burns Detective Agency](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_J._Burns_International_Detective_Agency) in [Toronto, Ontario](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto), Canada. The contents of the affidavits they supplied have never been revealed, but Audrey Munson strongly denied that she had any romantic relationship with Dr. Wilkins.[^(\[1\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audrey_Munson#cite_note-autogenerated2016-1) Wilkins was tried, found guilty, and sentenced to the [electric chair](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_chair). He hanged himself in his prison cell before the sentence could be carried out.[^(\[21\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audrey_Munson#cite_note-obscurity-21) The entry said she was 40 when she was institutionalized, so a decade after her attempt. And then this: Munson had no visitors at the asylum for over 25 years after her mother died in 1958, until her half-niece, Darlene Bradley, rediscovered her in 1984, when Munson was 93.[^(\[1\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audrey_Munson#cite_note-autogenerated2016-1) In the mid-1980s, Munson, in her mid-90s, was moved to a nursing home in [Massena, New York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massena,_New_York), as the original hospital closed; however, she would often escape to a nearby bar, with employees in the nursing home having to find her. Consequently, she was moved back to the new mental institution.

From Wikipedia on her later life On May 27, 1922, Munson attempted suicide by swallowing a solution of bichloride of mercury.[30] Later life and death On June 8, 1931, Munson's mother petitioned a judge to commit her to a mental asylum. The Oswego County judge ordered Munson be admitted into a psychiatric facility for treatment on her 40th birthday.[8] She remained in the St. Lawrence State Hospital for the Insane in Ogdensburg, New York, where she was treated for depression and schizophrenia for 65 years, until she died at the age of 104. During her stay at the institution, she often maintained her physical beauty with milk, yogurt and urine.[16][31] In the mid-1950s, Munson was still famous enough to serve as the subject of an anecdote in a memoir that P.G. Wodehouse and Guy Bolton wrote of their years on Broadway, Bring on the Girls! (1953), though that memoir is considered more fiction than fact by Wodehouse's biographer.[32][a] Munson had no visitors at the asylum for over 25 years after her mother died in 1958, until her half-niece, Darlene Bradley, rediscovered her in 1984, when Munson was 93.[1] In the mid-1980s, Munson, in her mid-90s, was moved to a nursing home in Massena, New York, as the original hospital closed; however, she would often escape to a nearby bar, with employees in the nursing home having to find her. Consequently, she was moved back to the new mental institution. By the time she turned 100, she had no teeth and lost much of her hearing but was otherwise in good health.[34] Shortly after her 100th birthday, Munson broke a hip. Munson died on February 20, 1996, at the age of 104. At the time only one local newspaper reported her death.[35] She was buried at New Haven Cemetery in New Haven, New York, and she received a headstone on her grave on June 8, 2016, 20 years after her death and on what would have been her 125th birthday.[36]

My great grandmother was hospitalized from 1922 till her death in 1967. She was in her early 20s when she went in. She had postpartum depression that we think led to some other mental condition. Her husband told her children she died, they only found out when she actually died and they were contacted. That's to say, long-term institutionalization like that did happen. It is surprising this lady was kept into the 90s but by that time, she may not have been able to function outside.

It has been used as a beauty treatment since Roman times and was particularly popular in the early 20th century. It's advisable to use your own piss, not that I'm in the habit of rubbing it on my face.

Urea is contained in many skin care products.

You read that right... yogurt \*cringes\*

She was in a an asylum, so it definitely tracks.

Or worse, they were lobotomized. Like Rosemary Kennedy

Well, it’s very frequent that these stories are with super models. I think it’s both the high expectations put on them, along with the fact that sexualizing/romanticizing one’s body is never a healthy thing mentally
