Sometime in the 1880s an unidentified young woman drowned in Paris’s Seine River. A morgue worker made a plaster mold of her face, which became famous and was mass-produced as a decorative item. The face of Resusci-Annie, the common CPR training dummy, is modeled after the Unknown Woman of the Seine.
The chorus refrain, "Annie, are you OK?" in Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" was inspired by Resusci Anne. Trainees learn to say, "Annie, are you OK?" while practicing resuscitation on the dummy.[7]
