By the way, Anna Maria Tussaud, who also went by the name Marie, was a real person, born in 1761 in Strasbourg, France. She learned the art of making wax figures from a doctor, served as an art tutor in Louis XVI's court, survived the French Revolution and took her creations to display in London.

After she died in 1850, her grandsons moved the attraction to Marylebone Road, where it remains. There are 21 sites, including Beijing, Tokyo and Sydney.
