Julia Childs, Spy Chef

14Aug08

I don’t like to post novelty things that I find interesting. It often ads nothing. But Julia Childs, chef extraordinaire, was a WWII spy. And this needs to be shared with everyone. The lede and some Childs brilliance:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Famed chef Julia Child shared a secret with Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg and Chicago White Sox catcher Moe Berg at a time when the Nazis threatened the world.

They served in an international spy ring managed by the Office of Strategic Services, an early version of the CIA created in World War II by President Franklin Roosevelt.

This. woman. was. a. spy.
