Posted Image A new docu-drama starring Shortland Street actress Rachael Blampied looks at the life of New Zealand-born French resistance fighter Nancy Wake. Brave, sexy, hot-tempered and determined - Nancy Wake was one of World War II's most famous resistance fighters. The Wellington-born woman joined the French Resistance in her late 20s and became a British special agent. She was so successful, the Gestapo nicknamed her The White Mouse for her ability to evade capture. For her war-time efforts, Wake was awarded many medals and her life has been well-documented in books, newspapers and on television. She died three years ago, aged 98, in London and her escapades continue to fascinate. This week, a new, locally made docu-drama called Nancy Wake: The White Mouse tells the story of how Nancy came to live in France and become involved with the Resistance. It also features some of her daring adventures and touches on her relationship with wealthy Frenchman Henri Fiocca, whom she married in 1939. The drama aspect of the show was filmed over two weeks with Wellington doubling for European city scenes and Central Otago as the French countryside. Source Link |
