Thanks to Hedy Lamarr's grandson for putting this rare clip up on youtube. Hedy Lamarr, her son Tony, daughter Denise, and her daughter in law all made an appearance in this special episode of "To Tell The Truth" in the late 1960s. I haved also added 60+ screencaptures up in the gallery. Check out the links under the picture for the youtube video and screencaps.

Wow, it has been so long since I made a proper update, although as you noticed , I still added new pictures every now and then. I came home just five minutes ago, excited to make a happy birthday update when I received in the mail the complete, hard cover version of Hedy's Folly. How good timing it is? I haven't been around a lot really to scan pictures and articles (though believe me, I still have tons to share), all I've done in the last couple of months is adjusting to the new intense graduate program. So, I just want to wish Hedy a very very lovely birthday, wherever she might be! She might be just staying home, and inventing, cause that's what she loved to do the most. In his memoir, George Antheil recalled why Hedy never had time for anybody else, anything else:
"Here, then, and at long last must suddenly come the true solution as to why Hedy does not go out upon joyous evening relaxations to which all Hollywood would only too willingly invite her, why her "drawing room," sure enough, is filled both with unreadable books and very useable drawing boards that look as if they are in constant use. Why apparently she has no time for anybody except something ultra mysterious about which no inside Hollywood columnist has dared to even venture a guess. Believe it or not, Hedy Lamarr stays home nights and invents! I believe it because I know."
For those who won a copy of the new book, I already sent you each a galley. You will also receive an official copy of the book once it's officially released (Nov, 29th that is).

Pulitzer Prize winning author Richard Rhodes is going to have a new Hedy Lamarr book published by Random House this November, 29th entitled "Hedy's Folly: The life and breakthrough inventions of Hedy Lamarr, the most beautiful woman in the world." This is going to be one of the few books to ever focus on Hedy Lamarr's and George Antheil's invention of spectrum coding and how it had led to Wifi and cellphones. It is such amazing news. You can pre-order the book online on amazon now.
There's a new article from Photoplay issue of 1941 about Hedy Lamarr's and James Stewart's only picture together - "Come Live With Me." Please click on the link below to read. I'm so sorry for the lack of updates the past few weeks. To compensate I would scan more articles from my magazine collection, please expect some more updates in the next few days. |
