MINI BIO:
Perhaps the most beautiful actress ever to appear on screen. A kittenish pretty face surrounded by raven black hair, and a sublime figure. Hedy was physical perfection and quite enough to take one's breath away - which she did when sensationally appearing nude in the Czech film Extase. She married a millionaire and was out of show business for five years before Louis B. Mayer signed her up for MGM but never really allowed her to let loose the sensuality that played about the lips and could have made her a screen immortal. Ultimately married and divorced six times, including (third) John Loder from 1943 to 1947. Born in Austria. Suffered from poor sight in later years. Co-invented a radar device during World War II. Died from natural causes. (Source: available at Amazon Quinlan's Film Stars).HONORS and AWARDS:

She was honored with one star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the category of Motion Pictures. Lamarr was never nominated for an Academy Award.
