Dita for Frederick’s of Hollywood
Dita Von Teese is set to play exotic dancer Mata Hari in Martha Fiennes’ forthcoming biopic of the tragic star. Not really a stretch for the burlesque dancer.
Von Teese doesn’t have much acting experience but the director believes she was made for the role.
Fiennes says, “Dita has done a little acting before and I think she can handle it. In fact, I approached her myself. She is perfect for the part. I have written the script but it will probably need some developing, so I don’t expect filming for another eight to 10 months“.
Hari – born Margaretha Geertruida Zelle – was executed in France in 1917, after she was exposed as a double agent during World War I.
