Mata Hari Blew The French Firing Squad A Kiss

Mata Hari, we’d like to show you again because her story is so compelling. She began her career as a dancer before becoming a spy during World War I. This woman combined espionage and sexuality in her pursuits. Before she became famous, she was a natural impersonator. Despite dancing in an Eastern style, she pretended to be Lady MacLeod, the daughter of an English lord. Her spy days were legendary, but they were brief. She was shot and killed by a firing squad on October 15, 1917. Before they murdered her, she did not appear to be blindfolded and blew a kiss to the men.
