I came across this story from JTA in 1930:
This would be the Standing Liberty quarter.
Doris Doscher had played the biblical Eve in a 1918 silent film, "Birth of a Race."
After she died in 1970, there were claims that another actress named Irene MacDowell was the model for the quarter and her role was hidden because her husband disapproved. Doscher's husband, who survived her, insisted that his wife was the real model.
No one disputes that Doscher was the model for the sculpture at a fountain outside the Plaza Hotel in New York.
So now the antisemites can spin new conspiracy theories about Jews controlling the US money supply.
