I Spy...Julia Child?
Did you see this? I laughed out loud when I first read it. 'Secret CIA Files Name Julia Child A WWII Spy.' I know it's not funny, but I just can't picture Julia Child acting as a spy. Did she steal secret Nazi recipes?
Chef Julia Child, Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg and Chicago White Sox catcher Moe Berg all shared a secret. During the time Adolf Hitler and Germany were threatening the world, they served in an international spy ring managed by the U.S. Office of Strategic Services.
The National Archives is making available for the first time all 750,000 pages identifying the vast OSS network of military and civilian operatives. The document names nearly 24,000 spies who formed the first centralized intelligence effort by the United States.
Other notables include historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr., actor Sterling Hayden and two sons of former president Theodore Roosevelt. Much of the short-lived WWII operation was later folded into the Central Intelligence Agency.
I still can't picture this woman as a spy. Well...maybe I can.
