      I remember that story … and yes, being famous is not always what its cracked up to be … the same two sentence horror could be:

      I was overwhelmed with emotion, being this famous.

      Every Emergency Medic would know my face now

        For those wondering … the famous person that every Emergency Medic would know is ‘The Unknown Woman of the Seine’, an unidentified young woman who died in the River Seine in Paris in the 1880s. A death mask was made from her face and the mask became a famous piece of artwork that was recreated, shared and spread in a variety of places for many years. It eventually became the face model for CPR dolls starting in the 1960s. The CPR doll with this face is used all over the world and the face became to be known as the ‘most kissed face of all time’.
