The Resume

(December 1, 1761-April 16, 1850)
Birth name is Marie Grosholtz
Created wax statues or death masks of Jean Jacques Rousseau, Benjamin Franklin, Lord Byron, Napoléon Bonaparte and others
Founder of Madame Tussauds wax museum in London, with branches in other cities

Why she might be annoying:

The founder of one of England's biggest attractions was not English herself.
Her wax exhibits of the famous and infamous anticipated modern tabloids.
Many find her very lifelike statues creepy.
She was hired during the French Revolution to make death masks of executed prisoners.
She bribed the executioner to hand over the heads of famous victims.
When she took her wax collection to England, she left behind her baby son.
She used macabre props such as guillotine blades in her displays.

Why she might not be annoying:

She made her first sculpture, of Voltaire, when she was 15.
She gave art lessons to Louis XVI's sister.
She was arrested and nearly executed during the French Revolution.
She was spared out of respect for her talent as a sculptor.
She made the death mask of Marie Antoinette.
Charles Dickens was a fan.
Madame Tussaud's wax museum continues to do excellent business.
