Quoted from swampfire:

Remember that this was 1979, before we turned into a nation of fitness freaks. I think the rolls are accurate, given her pose. My only problem is with the choice of model, who looks nothing like the real Mata Hari. But the backglass art is so damned good, it’s hard to get too upset about it.

Interesting enough - that photo has been modified by colorization - the original was in black and white. This is also controversial in some quarters. I had seen the original but not the colorized version - I like it. Found another one

Quoted from MtnFrost:

Interesting idea. Mata Hari was always one I felt had that beautiful artwork, but the gameplay never lived up to it.

Quoted from swampfire:

If you were a trained pinball player, you’d have a better appreciation for the gameplay.

I happen to love the artwork and the slightly rubenesque Mata Hari portrayed - but both my wife and I love the game play, especially the a b loop - appropriate for a "double spy" I think.
