Hedy Lamarr: People
built 643 days ago
Although Hedy Lamarr became unpopular to most people, she made headline news when she was caught shoplifting cosmetics from the May Department Store in Los Angeles, California. Luckily Hedy was acquitted on a 10-2 jury vote. Hedy must not have believed that that was bad enough, though, because in 1991 she was again caught for shoplifting, but the charges were dropped. These two incidents definitely made her look bad.

Lamarr (real name Hedy Keisler) was born into a wealthy, more-or-less-Jewish Viennese family, and in her story can be organized around a contrast between the sophisticated decadence of Vienna and Hollywood's crude, prudish crypto-porn. (Lamarr frequently comments on the American boob fetish and the general crassness of the people she dealt with.)

Lamarr was intelligent, articulate, daring and self-confident and seemed to have had everything going for her. She packed so much into her life and said that she could excuse everything but boredom as boring people don't have to stay that way. Lamarr was always a sworn enemy of convention, despising the conventional in anything, even the arts. The secret of life, according to Hedy Lamarr, was to get involved, to try everything, to join everything and to meet everybody. Her attitude to death mirrored her attitude toward life. She once said that she didn’t fear death because she didn’t fear anything she didn’t understand.
