The Woman In the Wax | Marie Tussaud

Madame Tussaud’s is a household name, the famed wax museum that boasts a wide collection of celebrities and famous figures from history both recent and far-flung. But not many know the story of one woman’s lifelong labor in the field of waxworks. From humble beginnings in France, to surviving a revolution, to wandering Europe, the real Madame Tussaud became the preeminent wax creator of her time.
But before all that, she was Anna Maria Grosholtz.

I just started working for Madame Tussaud’s and I came here to learn more about my boss. Such a strong woman and a true survivor.

I know it is difficult to find the right images to illustrate the video. However the painting of the crowd with the women showing her breast symbolizes the revolution of 1848, painted by Eugène Delacroix, born 1798, nine years after the Revolution of 1789...

I remember reading the book Little, it's about Marie and it's a really good read. She lived in a little cupboard cos she was very small in the Palace Versailles 😂 x

[@julieodonnell8433]

[@SuzD0n]

Beautifully written and researched. Thank you for sharing!

[@Contessa6363]

It is technically French Revolutions. The revolution is not one singular event . They are a series of revolutions.

[@sauronbagginsd8032]

Wow this was an amazing piece of work, I’ve always been fascinated by Marie’s story

[@Daunou777]

this story would be a great play or movie, are there any about her already?

[@rebeccaweil1]

I love your stories.

[@bryanpeterson9846]

Well done.

[@litneyloxan]

She had to make death masks for beheaded famous figures long long before, I found that interesting

[@gisleyalves7757]

🇧🇷🇧🇷 Where can I see the wax figure of Madame Tussauds? 🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@josepinheiro6064]

I like your voice so soothing.

[@jeanetts1743]

Interesting, but something seems wrong. Born in 1761; at age 6 moving to Bern for some years, and then moving to Paris in 1766...

[@queenlegitimate5015]

I had to look up what cumbersome meant lol

[@jenniferlloyd9574]

You may need to read more books in order to expand your vocabulary. I was reading at college level while still in the sixth grade.

Would be good if you got a professional to do the voice over.
