Hedy Lamarr Was All That

What finer photo that Hedy Lamarr at Christmas time?
With that luxurious black hair and those lovely blue eyes.
She is a reminder to all women to utilize your beauty and brains.
Be all that you can be and make no apologies for it.
She was so much more actually – a brilliant inventor and a spy.

Hedy Lamarr was ahead of her times, Caren. An intellectual and without question one of the most beautiful actresses in the history of cinema! She was a spy, too? That I didn't know!

What the world seems to have missed is that Hedy Lamarr always kept in touch! Look at any movie she made, and you will see how easily she always touches EVERYONE like they were a sibling (or lover). Luckily, she lived before the pandemic! Aloha!

I'm afraid dear Hedy hasn't got her just dues, Caren. She was a brilliant thinker, from what I understand. But, it was her beauty that got her on posters and starring roles in movies.

We all went for beauty in the fifties and sixties, being female, brains were frowned upon for us.
