How about the fact that Paris shut down for her funeral which was a right that was only practiced twice before? Maybe that she had an affair with many famous people including Frida Kahlo. How about that she was so respected that even the Nazis wouldn't touch her. Sorry, but comparing her to Britney Spears is more than a little insulting.

I watched the JB Story on HBO many years ago,and if they didn't take too many liberties with her story,it was very intriguing,and her ending very sad. Thanks for the post.

Though I did know she was more effective as a spy than Mata Hari. Actually a transparent tarp holding ciphers would be more effective than Mata Hari. Nice list, most I was very ignorant of.
