The kids told me about this. They loved Bob hope bing crosby and Hedy road to films, looked up her bio and this…
She also invented more or less plastic surgery. Every woman thinking about letting their sister or their MD talk them into plastic surgery must take a look at Hedy later years and beeeware
But Hedy was very smart. She came from Austria and her parents were appreciative immigrants with a real sense of education starting, of course, with language and music in language formative years- 2-5
Hedy Lamarr was Jewish, BTW. She was born into a wealthy Austrian family, with a banker father and a pianist mother (who later converted to Catholic). Hedy was not a practicing Jew, and she had to hide being Jewish in Hollywood in those years.
