Oh, I love that. I didn't have the patience to listen to the radio show but here's a link to an article about L'inconnue that explains a little of the history of the use of the model of her face, and the connection to the toymaker who eventually designed the CPR model! https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-24534069

Wikipedia also does not disappoint, with the lists of literary references to the mask of her face: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Inconnue_de_la_Seine
