Did you know Julia Child was a CIA/OSS agent?

[smahala1991]

She also invented shark repellent for the US military in World War 2 . She was also 6'2 and played basketball! All before she became a cookbook author and TV chef all at age 50 in 1963. She lived till age 91 in 2004. OSS was the precursor to the CIA

[FunkyMonkee]

Who wasn't? Jerry Garcia was CIA. He's the one that turned Woodstock into the acid test that it became! "Don't take the brown acid!' "Stay away from the blue acid!" That was all him passing that stuff around to test what would happen if anybody took it.

She wasn't an agent, she was a clerk for the OSS, the predecessor of the CIA, during WWII, which is where she helped develop shark repellent.

[Emilyis]

[NamerOfStars]

She also said "no kitchen is complete without a blowtorch". What's not to like?
