Hedy Lamarr: Husbands
built 643 days ago
A month, or two, went by before Hedy made her first escape plans. Her first attempts were failures, because her husband would always find her. Her last attempt was successful though. She supposedly drugged her maid (by slipping 3 sleeping pills into her coffee) who was ordered to look after her. Then she took the maids dress, put it on, and walked out of the service entrance to make her way down the road to freedom.

In 1946's The Strange Woman, directed by B-movie legend Edgar G. Ulmer (The Naked Dawn, Detour), Hedy plays Jenny Hager, a young woman living in Bangor, Maine in the 1820s. Jenny lives in the 19th-century equivalent of a trailer park with her drunkard father and dreams of using her startling beauty to catch herself a rich husband who will take her away from her dreary, impoverished existence.

Some of Lamarr's sexiest scenes appear in a 1933 European film called Ecstasy. This film made Hedy a sensation before she ever arrived in Hollywood. In this classic "adult film" of the dirty 30's, Lamarr stars as a young sexually exhuberant woman with the misfortune of having to deal with a husband less than interested in sex. Playing a very sexy, sultry young lass, Ecstasy daringly pushed the borders of what was socially accepatable in the thirties with its nudity and lovemaking scenes.
