NEWS OF THE WEIRD

Julia Child is such a diva even after death! I love her!

As it turns out Julia served in an international spy ring managed by the Office of Strategic Services during WWII! Child was a part of a group known as OSS comprised of soldiers, actors, historians, lawyers, athletes, professors, reporters.

Child and the OSS weren't a bunch of yuppies sitting around in a room sharing war stories. They studied military plans, created propaganda, infiltrated enemy ranks and stirred resistance among foreign troops.

The secret comes out Thursday, when all of the names and previously classified files identifying nearly 24,000 spies who formed the first centralized intelligence effort by the United States are released.

Others evidently associated with these files include John Hemingway, son of author Ernest Hemingway; Quentin and Kermit Roosevelt, sons of President Theodore Roosevelt, and Miles Copeland, father of Stewart Copeland, drummer for the band The Police.

And we thought Julia Child was just high ranking among chefs.
