Neysa Moran McMein
American artist, illustrator, and sculptor, 1888–1949
After returning from the war, McMein illustrated articles, covers, and advertisements as magazines such as McClure's, McCall's, The Saturday Evening Post, and Collier's. The character of "Betty Crocker" was also first designed by McMein. She further painted portraits of several presidents, actors, and writers.
Life magazine published an article on adult party games that featured Neysa McMein's famous New York gatherings, often entertaining the Algonquin Round Table, a group of local artist, writers, actors, and critics known for their wit, at these events.
