676. Coco Chanel | Another War, Spy Career, and a Comeback

In the conclusion of the life and times of Coco Chanel, we travel through the years 1936 to the end of her life in 1971, and a little beyond too. With the passing of time, more has come to light about Coco’s affair with a German spy, and her associated work with the Nazis through WW2. Surprisingly, there are no real consequences ultimately from this time, and after laying low for a while, Coco has a whole second act and comeback in the United States. She is a lady with a complicated life and a complicated legacy.
