I love the story of 1930’s tennis champion, turned tennis instructor to the stars, turned WWII spy Alice Marble. I’ve always been fascinated by her story and very few people have ever heard of her. Although her connection to Hollywood was a small one.. She taught tennis to the Hollywood elite at San Simeon and was close friends with Carole Lombard... she used her celebrity status to spy on the Nazis and was quite successful. She wrote a very engaging memoir, Courting Danger: My Adventures in World-Class Tennis, Golden-Age Hollywood, and High-Stakes Spying. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53198679-courting-danger
