Dr. Paula Uruburu is a Professor of English at Hofstra University in New York where she also teaches courses in film and womens' studies. Her latest book, AMERICAN EVE (2008 Riverhead Press, Penguin) is a biography of the first "It" girl and celebrity, Evelyn Nesbit, who was the catalyst for the 20th century's first "crime of the century" - the murder of famed architect Stanford White by Nesbit's demented millionaire husband, Harry K. Thaw in Madison Square Garden in 1906. She has been a researcher/consultant/talking head for A & E's Biography, PBS's American Experience, History Detectives, the History Channel, and the Smithsonian Channel. Her areas of expertise include the Gilded Age, the Gothic and Grotesque in art and literature, popular American culture, and the history of photography and film. Of Basque-Irish descent, her roots are in Brooklyn, Bilbao, and Massapequa (which Jerry Seinfeld says its Native American for "by the mall.") She lives in a haunted house on the south shore of Long Island and likes the fact that her last name is a palindrome.
