When women are beautiful and have brains its a heady combination.
In the 1921 photo in the above link (red type below the headline) mystic philosopher Simone Weil looks like she could have done very well in pre-code Hollywood to me.
Another celebrated French writer was Colette.
Apart from her writings, perhaps Colette's greatest claim to fame was discovering Audrey Hepburn.
Colette was being pushed along the Monaco seafront in a wheel-chair when she saw Audrey wearing a one-piece black swimsuit. Colette exclaimed, “Voilà ma Gigi!” because what she saw in Hepburn was exactly what was needed for the role of her famous character Gigi.
The result was Hepburn's breakout performance on Broadway.
In free, healthy cultures, in many different ways, women and love and God can shine.
This thread is useless without pictures.
Agreed.
That's Hedley!
I knew someone would get it.
Hahahahaha...that is one of my favorite memes...:)
I made sure to buy a DVD quite a few years ago, before it goes the way of Song of the South.
"...In 1942, Hollywood actress Hedy Lamarr (called “the most beautiful woman in Hollywood”) received a patent with composer George Antheil for a “frequency hopping, spread-spectrum communication system” designed to make radio-guided torpedoes harder to detect or jam.
Lamarr and Antheil made an interesting pair of collaborators. She was an Austrian-born beauty and American film star who practiced electrical engineering when off the movie lot; he was an avant-garde composer, notably of Ballet Mécanique, a score that included synchronized player pianos.
The two devised a method whereby a controlling radio and its receiver would jump from one frequency to another, like simultaneous player pianos, so that the radio waves could not be blocked.
The two submitted their patent to the US Navy, which officially opined that Lamarr could do more for the war effort by selling kisses to support war bonds. On one occasion, she raised $7 million. She and Antheil donated their patent to the US Navy and never realized any money from their invention, which would eventually become the basis for wireless phones, Global Positioning Systems, and WiFi, among other cutting-edge technologies.
Heh, exactly. I did too.
You can still watch Song of the South online if you search for it.
“What do you care? In sixty years you can sue HER!”
Yeah, but good luck finding a DVD (yes, I know there are some of those out there too, just in weird formats and such). It’s not a movie I desperately want a copy of anyway.
