I think this was posted a little while back right here, but it's still interesting, nonetheless. I'm sure lots of people either didn't see it or forgot about it.

I've seen that before, but this view is larger. Very nice! No offense to the actresses of today, but I find the features of the older actresses much more beautiful - especially in the 40's and 50's.

I just found out that Katharine Hepburn was not Audrey Hepburn's mother.

Sorry, OT, but watching this reminded me.

I know, how did I not know that?

I felt better though that my morning radio show host didn't know either.

Hard to say...they all look the same to me in black and white.

Wow...interesting woman!

Lamarr was born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler to a Jewish family in Vienna, Austria and died in Altamonte Springs, Florida (near Orlando). Her father Emil Kiesler was a bank director; her mother Gertrud (née Lichtwitz) was a pianist.

While married to her first husband, Friedrich Mandl, aka Fritz Mandl, an arms manufacturer, she socialized with Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. She also became educated technically in her husband's business. Mandl was obsessed with his wife and never let her out of his sight. She hated him and his Nazi friends and finally escaped to London, reportedly by drugging him and the French maid he had hired to spy on her. Ironically, Mandl was from a Jewish background. Whether the Nazis ever knew about Mandl's and Lamarr's Jewish origins has been debated by historians; Friedrich Mandl came from an extremely assimilated and well-known and highly influential family, and it appears that he overtly hid his Jewish origins and converted to Christianity under evident pressure.

....

She had already appeared in several European films, including Ecstasy (1933), in which she played a love-hungry young wife of an indifferent old husband. Closeups of her face in passion, and long shots of her running nude through the woods, gave the film notoriety. She also gained notoriety as one of the first actresses to bare her breasts in a major film and for faking an orgasm on film. Mandl bought up as many copies of the film as he could possibly find, as he objected to her nudity, as well as "the expression on her face."
