in her autobiography, Lana Turner has mentioned that once inside a club, Heddy Lamarr turned up so radiant and stunning, everyone in the room paused just to stare at her descend the staircase.
Have just watched a documentary about her on U.K. television. Aged five Hedy completely disassembled a clockwork toy and assembled it again fully working. She was incredibly intelligent and must have had a high I.Q. If she had not been an actor it is mostly likely she would have been a scientist. Her natural beauty was outstanding and the documentary mentioned that when she entered a room men and women would just stare at her. Ahead of her time, her early 1940s patent for Frequency Hopping is now the basis for WIFi, Bluetooth and GPS valued at 33 billion dollars ! The United States Navy used the technology in the 1950s and she never received any money in royalties. A truly remarkable and gifted woman, I would have loved to have met her....
Did anyone notice the lovely manners Tony had, he acknowledged the other contestants ( Male and female) even helping #1 'wife' contestant with her chair at the program end. They appeared to be a loving family and lucky to have inherited Hedys good looks and pleasing demeanor.
She was an unusually good actress. I notice the way she speaks, the way she moves, speaks etc..she is refined and elegant. I am also part Austrian. She has such a beautiful accent. Her son is very sweet, great eyes too. They are well-behaved on t.v unlike today. People relish in being uncouth in public. She is a mysterious lady who invented Wi Fi. You wonder what was lurking inside her active mind. She was probably a very deep and analytical thinker.
A very pleasant show,and Mr.Loder appeared like a kind,caring,aware person.How nice of a gesture to give the first guest a kiss on her cheek,after he showed his actual wife.
