Yeah, OK, thanks for the picture, but...

In my opinion, it doesn't do justice to her; it doesn't depict just what a human candy cane of a babe she was.

IIRC, she once contributed to a USO fund drive by auctioning off a single kiss for $10K, and the dollar was worth a bit more then than it is today!

This makes a fascinating story. A geek composer who is working alongside this spectacularly beautiful woman who happens to be brilliant. Was he madly in love with her ? Trying to fight being madly in love with her ? Knowing all the while she is light years out of his reach ? Gay ?

Some years ago, Corel had a contest for the most creative use of their graphic software. The winner created this absolutely haunting sketch of Hedy Lamarr which Corel liked so much that they put on the cover of their product.

A second thought.

I can only think of one actress who could play Hedy Lamarr.

Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Only she has that kind of dark, smouldering, stunning beauty.
