Her autobiography, “Ecstasy and Me” was good read. Pretty racy.

I think I read somewhere that she said the director stuck a pin in her behind to make the orgasm shot in the Ecstasy film.

It would be tough to make a movie about her, because I don’t think they could come up with an actress with Hedy’s unique blend of beauty and intelligence.
