No, it's not based on a true story.
No, there was no ventriloquist named Mary Shaw.

Characters truly based off real people should actually be the opposite of Mary Sues. Mary Sues are individuals who are unrealistically one-sided (usually perfect) and have very little character development. Your antagonist seems like a Mary Sue because you're not considering that there's more to Hitler than just "evil." Hitler was a complex individual--he was a war hero with serious father issues who had to watch his country suffer through hyperinflation and humiliation after losing WWI. He was rigid in his beliefs and furiously patriotic. There is a book known as The Young Hitler I Knew which is written by a man who knew Hitler personally and writes that he was exceptionally shy as a young man. A lot of people hated Hitler when he was in power, but many more idolized him; look at the Hitler Youth, after all. So I believe that "characters based off real people are Mary Sues" is total BS. They're only Mary Sues if you fail to entirely understand the person you're basing the character off of. The people I know very well are not flat or one-sided, and their motives, personalities, and looks are extremely complicated and motivated by an enormous variety of factors.

A lot of my characters are inspired by other people. I don't care much for the term Mary Sue or whatever anyway. I guess it implies that the characters possess some level of perfection or cliche characteristics. I can tell you for a fact that none of my characters are perfect. They just are. They pretty much create themselves. I become them so I can ask them, "Would you say this?" "Would you do this?" "Would you feel this way?" If something doesn't work then I don't use it. If someone is attracted to them it isn't because they're perfect and no one can resist them. Plenty of people wouldn't be caught within ten feet of a particular character because they can't stand them. But, yes, some people do love them and want to be around them and want to have them in their lives, even when I deliberately make them not your usual definition of attractive. A lot of times the underdog in my stories becomes the love interest or the one that has the real special qualities that drive a story. They possess certain flaws or history because it is supposed to paint a picture of how they became who they are and why they react the way they do in certain situations.

The character in the movie is not based on the women's suffragette Mary Shaw. Merely a coincidence. Dead silence just happens to have a villain of the same name.
