“Miss [Hedy] Lamarr handles the figurative requirements of her role quite agreeably.”

*snicker*

[Homer_J_Simpson]

No argument here.

Stunning picture.

Hedy Lamarr was a much better actress before the Hays Code. :-))

Piffle. She was a good actress who worked hard at it. She didn’t need to take her clothes off.

In the biography I read, it said that one entertainment publication in Austria said she was the most beautiful actress in Europe. She had quite a body of work, no pun intended.
