Well here is a surprise
Lindbergh
https://www.ozy.com/true-and-stories/charles-lindberghs-secret-double-life-i
n-germany/96337/?utm_source=SM
For a time, Charles Lindbergh was as close as a mortal can get to being a
real-life Superman. After piloting the first solo, nonstop trans-Atlantic
flight in 1927, the 6-foot-3 college dropout turned aviation icon could go
few places in public without being mobbed. To his adoring American fans, he
was Lucky Lindy, the Lone Eagle and, later, a devoted husband and father to
six children.
But to Lindbergh?s seven other children ? the ones living in Germany ? he
was mild-mannered American writer Careu Kent. That?s right, it turns out the
globe-trotting Lindbergh?s most daring trans-Atlantic feat in his later
years was the two-decade round-trip voyage between his American and German
families. Despite having once been the most photographed, most famous person
on the planet, Lindbergh ? thanks in no small part to the modern miracle of
trans-Atlantic travel he had helped unleash ? managed to
pull off a double life like few else in history.
The kids were told Lindbergh was a famous American writer on a secret
mission.
It was a secret life that remained a secret for quite a while. Lindbergh
died in 1974, and it was not until 2003 that the world learned the full
scope of his
<https://www.ozy.com/acumen/why-being-cheated-on-is-not-as-bad-as-you-think/
87753> infidelity. That?s when three Germans, Dyrk and David Hesshaimer and
their sister, Astrid Bouteuil, came forward claiming that the aviator was
their father. To prove it, the siblings shared more than 100 letters
Lindbergh had written their mother, Brigitte, and a DNA test conducted by
the University of Munich that confirmed the paternity of the three siblings,
and of four other children. The siblings, who didn?t come forward until
after their mother?s death, per her request, did not seek any claim to
Lindbergh?s estate, only acknowledgment that he was their father.
The revelation was shocking to many. According to Winston
Churchill, Lindbergh was ?all that a man should say, all that a man should
do and all that a man should be.? He and his longtime wife, the writer Anne
Morrow Lindbergh, were regarded as the ?perfect couple,? a relationship
cemented by the public tragedy that unfolded in 1932, when their
20-month-old son Charles Jr. was kidnapped and murdered.

Rare Vintage Photos of What Life Was Like in the '50s
Life in the 1950s was very different from what it is today. Lacking the technology of the 21st century, it was a much simpler time. People weren't distracted by personal devices and spent more time face to face and outside enjoying nature.
While it's often considered an idyllic generation, there were also some issues, particularly for women and minorities who lacked some of the freedoms others enjoyed. These vintage photos are sure to take you back in time.
