Businessman behind hits like "Pretty Woman" says he bought arms on Israel's behalf.

Latest spy game playing itself out in Hollywood

More than 60 years after a congressional Committee on Un-American Activities held hearings aimed at rooting out communist spies from Hollywood, a Hollywood producer has proudly revealed his own clandestine efforts on behalf of Israel.  Arnon Milchan, the Israeli-born businessman who owns New Regency Films, has been part of an array of blockbusters, including Pretty Woman, Fight Cluband the spy thriller Mr. and Mrs. Smith. In an interview Monday with Israel's popular show Uvda, Milchan detailed his real-life, cloak-and-dagger work on numerous operations, including the purchase of technology needed to operate nuclear weapons.  "I did it for my country and I'm proud of it," Milchan said.  You don't have to go to the movies to find TV and film stars with true spy stories to tell.
