TRUE or False - Hat Trick!




Spy Mata Hari was beheaded.





Mata Hari was executed by firing squad. The famous spy was born Margaretha Geertruida Zelle in The Netherlands in 1876, and became a dancer and courtesan in Paris. During World War I, she was accused of spying when British Intelligence learned of her dealings with a German official. They warned the French government, which arrested her in 1917, tried her in a military court, and had her shot by firing squad.

The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet was filmed while the stars, married in real life, were legally separated.





The TV show started as a radio program in 1944, and aired on television from 1952 to 1966. Singer Harriet Hilliard and bandleader Ozzie Nelson had married in 1935 and started appearing on radio programs together during the early 1940s. Their sons were played by actors during the radio program’s early seasons, but the boys, David and Ricky, began portraying themselves in 1949.
