Except for writing books, did Agatha Christie do any other things? Or was writing books her only accomplishment? Thanks in advance! =]

She created quite a stir when she mysteriously disappeared for several days.

On 8 December 1926, while living in Sunningdale in Berkshire, she disappeared for ten days, causing quite a storm in the press. Her car was found in a chalk pit. She was eventually found staying at a hotel in Harrogate under the name of the woman with whom her husband had recently admitted to having an affair. She claimed to have suffered amnesia due to a nervous breakdown following the death of her mother and her husband's infidelity. Opinions are still divided as to whether this was a publicity stunt or not. Public sentiment at the time was negative, with many feeling that an alleged publicity stunt had cost the taxpayers a substantial amount of money.
