i didn't realize she was so tall..6'2" is freaking tall for a chick, especially one from that generation.

Maybe playing the part of a chick was simply part of her cover.

They have had a display about Julia Childs and other surprising spies at the International Spy Museum in DC for years, since it opened. Interesting that this is just now making the "news".

Yeah, I thought this was fairly common knowledge for decades.

At least since her affair with Col. Steve Austin that caused the breakup of his engagement to Jamie Sommers.

I think her original code name was "Alotta Fagina". Mike Myers later stole it for the first Austin Powers movie, but considering Julia's sizeable girth, I think it was an apt code name.
