They had powerful admirers in various industries, many with easy access to politicians and high ranking government officials. Nobody in the world would miss the chance to welcome and talk to icons like Cary Grant, Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo.

Who would have suspected that Greta Garbo, Hollywood's most enigmatic actress, was a spy during the Second World War? And yet the woman who played the legendary spy Mata Hari contributed to the war effort, as did fellow actors Marlene Dietrich and Cary Grant. The much-admired "Divine", who left her native Sweden for the USA to launch her acting career, used her image and contacts in Europe to exfiltrate scientist and Nobel Prize winner for physics Niels Bohr from Denmark. Bohr went on to help Robert Oppenheimer's Manhattan Project team build the atomic bomb.
