Mata Hari (born Margaretha Geertruida (Grietje) Zelle in the Netherlands in 1876) was accused by the French of spying for Germany in WWI, and executed. Mata Hari has been the subject of or character in dozens of movies, books, and songs, even Video Games and a pinball machine. Mata Hari was already widely known as an exotic dancer and courtesan before her arrest, contributing to her fame as a femme fatal double agent. "Mata Hari" has become a synonym for a double-dealing, seductive woman. An internet search will reveal vast amounts of information on Mata Hari. Nathan Hale is perhaps one of the most famous of spies during the American Revoloution.
