Blind Item #9 - Old Hollywood

This deceased foreign born Oscar winning/nominated actor with an iconic look certainly played his share of intelligence operatives in his film career. Recently declassified documents show that in real life at one point he did the real thing acting as a secret back channel, couriering messages between the governments of the USA and Great Britain and his home country.

  14. Yep, Yul. On a very quick google search he seems to have been in a number of spy movies.

    I wonder if he worked with Chuck Barris.
