Hedy Lamarr: Corel Corporation
built 642 days ago
Hedy Lamarr appeared in the most unexpected places in the '90s! But the question arises: Did Hedy get a dime from Corel for her "Image is Everything" in this ad and on the product package? Well, not until she sued the Corel corporation for $250,000 - and won.

In 1998, a vector illustration of Lamarr's face was used by Corel Corporation on the packaging and in the publicity for its CorelDRAW 8 software. Lamarr retained Attorney Michael McDonnell and sued Corel for damages relating to unauthorized use of her likeness. The case was resolved in 1999 and settled out of court for an undisclosed sum, under terms that allowed Corel five years of exclusive rights to the image.[7]

Think you have never seen a picture of Hedy Lamarr? You have seen her many times. Corel Draw uses a drawing of Hedy Lamarr to advertise its products. Here is that drawing. Not long before she died, Hedy Lamarr sued Corel Draw for compensation, but lost.
