Newly declassified documents show that Julie Childs was an operative for the OSS, the precursur of the CIA. That just seems so wrong.
Julia was f$@!ing metal.
Proof keeping secrets drives you to drink.
Julia was f~#!ing metal.Base, ferrous, or noble?
Judging by what was hanging on her wall, predominantly noble, with occasional recourse to ferrous, when brute force was deemed better suited to the situation than delicacy. An enameled version might be used from time to time for that "iron fist in a velvet glove" effect.
It'll be interesting to see later updates on this news, once all the files are released to the public. I'd like to see exactly what sort of duties/missions these people performed. What sort of training did they receive? Did any of them provide us with any significant advantage in the fight during WWII? And if so, would our current espionage community please start taking notes...

You've never seen the 'lost episodes' of her cooking show? When she kinda goes off into the past splicing Hitman with Julia Childs' Kitchen?
"Remember, apple seeds naturally have cyanide in minute ammounts, but if you are preparing a potatoes au gratin or any dish with crumbled nuts on the top, a judicious heap may be added. I used this to good effect many years ago, especially when slicing up a manioc, which also contains cyanide, and adding it to the potatoes. Just enough and Jerry has a pulmonary edema before Afters are served."
Nice. I thought there was more to the ol'girl than her ability with a spatula.
Something else I found interesting in that article:"I think it's terrific," said Elizabeth McIntosh, 93, a former OSS agent now living in Woodbridge, Va.
That' my hometown!
*Walks off, mumbling something about having been in the NSA...*
She also made shark repellent for the Navy, IIRC.
