Madame Marie Tussaud was the original queen of wax! Born in 1761 in France, she mastered wax sculpting as a teen and famously made death masks during the French Revolution. By the early 1800s, she was touring Europe with her uncanny creations, eventually opening the first Madame Tussauds in London. Today, her legacy lives on in wax museums worldwide, filled with stars she never could have imagined!
