JULIA CHILD WORLD RENOWNED CHEF WORLD WAR II SPY |
| Who would have thought that Julia Child (yes THE Julia Child, famed for her culinary skills) was once a spy? Julia (McWilliams) Child was born in Pasadena, California, and graduated from
Smith College in 1934. During World War II she served with the Office of Strategic
Services in Washington DC (an agency that preceded the Central Intelligence Agency),
Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), and China. After the war her husband, Paul Child, was assigned to
the U.S. Information Service at the American Embassy in Paris. It was there, in Paris,
that Julia started her culinary career, at the Cordon Bleu and later became Julia Child,
the celebrated chef.
