Hedy Lamarr

[Boomer]

^^ What a strange story..she invented some sort of code system for the government- something like that? Who would have thought, a movie star...

She seemed to have a very witty, innovative intellect, it's quite extraordinary

^ So beautiful pictures, thanks! In my opinion, she and Vivien Leigh had the most perfect profiles.

^^ Thanks everyone for the wonderful pictures!! I remember reading her book when I was pretty young, and she talked quite openly about an affair she had with another actress, and it was the first time I had ever heard anyone discuss a lesbian encounter- somehow such a beautiful woman having these experiences was shocking to me- not in a bad way, but it was something I had never heard of before... Every time I saw her after that I remembered her honesty and "daring"...Obviously, this was well before The L Word came on TV!!
