## Bio

Born Anna Maria Grosholtz on 1 December 1761, she learned to shape wax into uncanny likenesses and carried that skill across the Channel. In London, she founded the institution that still bears her married name: Madame Tussauds, a museum where sculpted figures hold the room. She died 16 April 1850, but the waxworks kept multiplying.
