Doris Doscher

Doris Doscher (January 24, 1882 – March 9, 1970) was an American actress and model who appeared in the movie The Birth of a Race (1915), playing the role of "Eve."

Doscher wed Dr. H. William Baum, a physical therapist, who had offices at 130 West 42nd Street (Manhattan).

When she was chosen by MacNeil to pose for the quarter, she exemplified the highest type of American womanhood.

Beginning in the late 1920s, Doscher wrote a daily column on health and beauty for the New York World.

In an article in the December 2003 edition of The Numismatist, Timothy B. Benford Jr. suggests that the supposed deception was to fool MacNeil's wife, who saw MacDowell as a potential romantic rival.

Doscher was the model for Karl Bitter's Abundance in the Pulitzer Fountain at the Plaza Hotel in New York.
