Hedy Lamarr: Son
built 643 days ago
On March 12, 1997 Hedy Lamarr was acknowledged for her fine achievements by the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Unfortunately she was not much of a public speaker so her son, Anthony Loder, accepted the award for her. He did play an audiotape of her speaking, though. That was the first time Hedy Lamarr’s voice could be heard by the public in over two decades.

Lamarr, still alive in Florida, taped a message of thanks that was delivered by her son, Anthony Loder. Though she didn't weigh in on Net censorship, it's worth noting that some of her steamiest films -- like the 1933 "Ecstasy" -- would probably be outlawed on the Net under the CDA.

Although Ms. Lamarr was not present to accept her award (her son accepted on her behalf), she addressed the audience by phone saying words one might expect to hear from a screen legend. Her response: "It's about time."
