Valerie Plame: smart, private, 'Waltons' fan
Who was that CIA operative, whose outing by a columnist has shaken the White House and sent a reporter to jail? Despite tons of ink about the increasingly intriguing (and complicated) Plame affair, the human being at its center remains largely obscure, in part because she shuns reporters. So Floridian called those who know her best.

SOME THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT VALERIE PLAME WILSON, SPY:
She was born in 1963 in Anchorage, Alaska, where her father, an Air Force lieutenant colonel, was stationed.
As a girl, she loved puzzles and dolls.
At Lower Moreland High School outside Philadelphia, she ran track.
She was the leader of a group of preppie, high-achieving friends.
