Line 38:
* [[Double Agent]]: Accused by the French government (and convicted) of being one for Germany.
* [[Facing the Bullets One-Liner]]: She is reported to have blown a kiss to the firing squad just before her execution.
* [[Feed the Mole]]: After decoding the "H-21" messages, the Deuxième Bureau let her learn the names of six Belgian agents believdbelieved to be working in some manner for the Germans, one of whom was an outright [[Double Agent]]. Two weeks later, the double agent was executed, which the Deuxième Bureau took as proof that she had passed the names to the Germans.
* [[Femme Fatale]]: After her death she gained a reputation as one, but as even a casual perusal of this page will indicate, she wasn't, not really.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: By 1910 dozens of Mata Hari imitators had appeared in Europe, diluting the uniqueness of her act and prompting critics to suggest that her success was due entirely to exhibitionism and was without any artistic merit. It's probably no coincidence that her dance career began to fade not long afterward.
