She used to dance for the Nazis occupying her hometown during WWII to raise money to help fund the underground. She also helped hide and feed allied soldiers so they wouldn't be captured, then after a short career in film, went on to dedicate her life to humanitarian work in Africa.

She was arguably one of the most incredible women of the 20th century. There's a book called Dutch Girl that is absolutely worth the read.
