Well, she is nice looking, no doubt. I don't watch televison, and had no idea who she was, but I did recognize the face when I saw the picture.

THIS is a woman who was physically hot, with a major brain to match:

(Any of you folks recognize her??? Bonus points: Identify what she is known for outside of her obvious assets...:)

Hedy Lamarr (pron.: /ˈhɛdi/; 9 November 1913 – 19 January 2000) was an Austro-American actress and mathematician, celebrated for her great beauty, who was a major contract star of MGM's "Golden Age."^[1]

Mathematically talented,^[2] Lamarr and composer George Antheil invented an early technique for spread spectrum communications and frequency hopping, necessary for wireless communication from the pre-computer age to the present day.^[3]^[4]

When she worked with Max Reinhardt in Berlin, he called her the "most beautiful woman in Europe" due to her "strikingly dark exotic looks," a sentiment widely shared by her audiences and critics.^[5]^[6]^[7] She gained fame after starring in Gustav Machatý's Ecstasy, a film which featured closeups of her character during orgasm in one scene, as well as full frontal nude shots of her in another scene, both very unusual for the socially conservative period in which the bulk of her career took place.

Hedy Lamarr is also known for appearing au natural in the 1933 German film “Ecstasy”. She was stunning.
