This is rad. Julia Child worked for the CIA. I wonder what was in the shark repellent?


As you may have heard, turns out that Julia Child was a spy! Most notably known for introducing French cuisine and cooking techniques to the the US she was recruited by the CIA at the age of 28. Check out the story on CBC.ca for more details but she worked as a research assistant and clerk before working on shark repellent to prevent sharks from accidentally detonating underwater mines

Likely something she later turned into a nice Bouillabaisse.
