She took up acting because the malnutrition she suffered under the nazis permanently damaged her health and prevented her from pursuing her dream to be a ballerina. During the war, she danced to raise money for the resistance - even though she was literally starving, she used what strength she had to make sure more nazis got shot. 

She and her mom also denounced their royal heritage because of the Nazis in their family

this is history that was deliberately erased to be dismissive of her because she is a pretty girl, and it was a time thats all people wanted to see, market, or process

again, really hoping more celebrities discover they can be this awesome
