People remember the America Tennis Player, Alice Marble for her 18 Gram Slam Titles but there was indeed more to her than most people could imagine.
The CIA contacted her to get in touch with her former lover and Swiss banker to obtain the financial data of the Nazis. This was after her war pilot husband died fighting in Germany. Meanwhile, days before the death of her husband, she had also miscarried her baby in a car accident. The word is she almost got shot by a Nazi official in the back. Her story came to light after her death when her second autobiography was published. The title read “Courting Danger: My Adventures in World Class Tennis, Golden Age Hollywood, and High Stakes Spying.”
