Harry Houdini, Cary Grant, Julia Child and Ian Fleming are among the many celebrities who were involved in espionage in the 20th century.
Dancer and singer Josephine Baker, left, poses with French singer and actress Line Renaud, center, during the gala night of the Parisian cabaret Lido, on Dec. 13, 1973, in Paris. Baker worked as a spy during World War II, hiding notes in her underwear following flirtatious conversations with high-ranking Nazis. During World War II, Josephine Baker regularly attended parties at embassies and consulates in occupied France, where she would flirt with high-ranking Nazi officials.
“Josephine was charming and charismatic,” Ohlke said. After gathering intelligence from tipsy German officials, “she wrote secret notes in invisible ink on her sheet music and hid messages in her clothes.” One of the more unusual celebrity spies was Berg, a major league baseball player from 1923 to 1939. He was primarily a backup catcher, but excelled elsewhere: He spoke seven languages and had graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University.
It’s no secret that Fleming drew on his experiences in British Naval Intelligence during World War II to write his popular James Bond spy novels. But before becoming an author, Fleming concocted schemes that British commandos used to undermine the German war effort. One of his ideas – planting false plans on a dead body – was used to mislead the Nazis before the Allied invasion of Sicily in 1943.
