Read excerpt
A homeless woman savagely beaten to death with a stick in Central Park was once the sad subject of an eye-opening documentary about a gifted artist brought low by a tragic cycle of drugs, prostitution and mental illness. Nearly two decades before her body was found in a gazebo not far from the Central Park’s popular boathouse Sunday, Elise Bainbridge Hill, 63, was the focus of a sobering documentary about how life’s twists and turns can shape a person’s existence.
