Lurid Photographs
Gedeon appeared at an Illustrators Society show for models which was raided by members of the New York City Police Department on November 8, 1935. She posed for crime-oriented periodicals such as Inside Detective and Headquarters Detective. Her murder featured an ironic twist because of the sensational titles of the pictorials she appeared in. In Party Girl, Pretty But Cheap, and I Am A White Slave photographs showed her flimsily clad, beaten, smothered, and tied up.

“What I hated even more than the conflict was the lurid spectacle of a world of unreason.”
