Gifted with the ability to see the future, Marie Anne rose to fame during the Napoleonic era with her accurate, though not always well received, predictions of notable Parisians. Orphaned at seven years old and sent to a convent, she left the convent to start her life in Paris at only 14 years old. She opened a bookstore in Paris as a young adult to cover her fortune telling business, illegal in France at the time.

Many famous death masks survive, some from hundreds of years ago. Let know how you feel about them. Should this be a tradition brought back? Leave your review below!
