"My mother took my picture to a model agency and the rest is history"
About this Quote
"The rest is history" is doing double duty. On the surface, it's breezy, the standard shorthand of celebrity biography. Underneath, it's a strategic shrug: it skips the messier middle chapters - rejection, labor, vulnerability, and the machinery of fashion that decides who's marketable and why. That vagueness protects privacy and burnishes inevitability. If history simply happened, nobody has to name the gatekeepers, the compromises, or the costs.
Context matters: Everhart comes of age in the late '80s and '90s, when modeling and glossy media sold a particular kind of American glamour - and when a model's "discovery" narrative was practically a required accessory. This quote fits that genre while subtly exposing it. The true protagonist isn't destiny; it's proximity to someone who knew the system existed, and a mother willing to make the first pitch.
