This is the most kissed face of all the time...
A young woman drowned in the River Seine in the 1880s.
As was customary in those days, her co**se was put on display in the Paris mortuary, in the hope that someone might recognize her and claim her body.
The pathologist on duty became entranced with the girl's enigmatic half-smile, and so he commissioned a plaster cast made of her face. The girl became known as "L'Inconnue de la Seine,” or “The Unknown Woman of the Seine.”
In 1955, a toymaker named Asmund Laerdal created what we now know as the CPR doll. Asmund wanted his mannequin to have a natural appearance. Remembering a mask on the wall of his grandparents' house many years earlier, he decided that the "L'Inconnue de la Seine" would become the face of Resusci Anne (CPR Annie).
So this anonymous woman who drowned in the 19th century is responsible for saving many, many lives all over the world. It is said that she has the most kissed face of all time.
