Hedy Lamarr: Anecdotes
In one story presented in her autobiography,
Ecstacy and Me, once while running from Mandl she slipped into a brothel and hid in an empty room.
While her husband searched the brothel, a customer entered the room and she had sex with the man so she could remain hidden. She was finally successful in escaping when she hired a new maid that looked like herself, drugged her and used the maid's uniform as a disguise to escape.
Lamarr later sued the publisher claiming that many of the anecdotes were fabricated by the ghost writer.
According to accounts in film histories,
Cecil B. DeMille is said to have gathered the 1900 peacock feathers that Lamarr wore on her 18-foot-train dress in the 1949 movie
Samson and Delilah himself, having chased molting peacocks on his ranch for the previous 10 years until he had collected enough feathers to have the garment made.
For her contribution to the motion picture industry, Hedy Lamarr has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6247 Hollywood Blvd.
