Sorry if that’s a basic and/or inaccurate summary of Ms. Valland’s life! This is the first I’m hearing about her! Wikipedia tells me Cate Blanchett played Rose Valland in that George Clooney movie I didn’t see called The Monuments Men, but I didn’t see the George Clooney movie called The Monuments Men. Why didn’t I see that movie? It had Cate Blanchett in it!! At least I got to see Drunk History’s retelling of her life starring Busy Phillips, who too, can command the wind, sir. I’ve heard.
