Besides being a gorgeous film star, Hedy Lamarr was a scientific wonder. My engineering father was so in love with her for her brains as well as her undeniable beauty.
Hedy Lamarr once said that her looks, which had eventually paved her way to Hollywood, had kept her from making an important scientific career back home in Austria. This is true as in those days there were no prospects for a particularly gifted Jewish girl in Austria with a stunning talent in math and physics, esp. for an extremely bright and pretty girl, whose father was the well-known CEO of a major bank in Vienna. Remember that after a very short period of her featuring in Austrian movies 1930-1933, Austria got infested by Nazi sympathizers in key positions from 1933 (Hedy's husband she divorced in 1937, tried and forced her to become a 'Germanic' housewife and to convert to Catholicism), although the country had not yet been annexed by Nazi Germany, which was to take place in 1938, when Hedy right in time had found a new home in America.
@@monoecumsemper Who was that woman scientist, German I believe, who did early work on splitting the atom to make an atomic bomb.? [E=mc^^2, etc.]. But she got no credit or recognition for her contribution (because she was a woman). I think a male german colleague stole all the glory. It wasn't until many decades later that she got the recognition she deserved.

Actually, the US government classified her work , claimed it had no use for her technology and used it extensively during WW2. She was never compensated or acknowledged by the US government

Ms. Lamarr was not only beautiful but she had true grace and class. What many people may not know is that she was also an inventor. Accounts of her career as an inventor are fascinating reading.
Hedy Lamarr was one of my father Nimrod Alexander's favorite actresses, he found her a lot of roles. He recommended her marry a producer rather than directors. She married six of them and divorced them after she starred in their movies. She was a survivor of the Holocaust. She'd lost her father, uncle and her first husband in Austria's concentration camps. She escaped with her mother to Hollywood and made it big as a movie star. She didn't win any Oscars because she took only starring roles. I nominated her for a lifetime achievement Oscar because I knew her story of surviving the Holocaust -- Victor Isaac Alexander
She was already in Hollywood before the holocaust and her father died of a heart attack before the war and her mother came to live with her right before the Germans invaded.

The contestant was disappointed, I'm sure she was, just play the game and have fun, misleading the panelists is fun indeed, but she didn't really have a line of work or questions that could induce some erroneous conclusions.
It is amusing to look back. This show was a staple of life for us in the 50's. Hedy's hairstyle was the fashion due to Gina Lollobrigida. It was called the italian boy. Large ringlets often with bleached tips. My mother who was often compared to Lamarr in her early years had also very long dark hair but had her hair styled to create that look. I as a child was dismayed and wouldn't speak to my mother for a week. LOL I had only ever known my mother at that point with hair cascading over her shoulders and did not understand the fickleness of changing fashions. Her face, her voice were and are incomparable. There is no one in the past 50 years to the present who can hold a candle to this woman's beauty, talent and charm. But to be so beautiful is difficult and like all human beings we age and that for a woman was and is difficult. My mother never coped well which is how I realised how difficult it is for beautiful women and men to grow older. Nature is rarely kind. The only person I ever knew who seemed to challenge the ravages of age was Cary Grant. Some grow older with grace but the breathtaking beauty does go. Look at Robert Redford and many others. It is why many of understood Garbo's seclusion. She wanted to leave the public with their illusions.
Yes old age is horrible when you have been very good looking...nowadays though there are loads of things that can make you look young again some people dont worry about old age because they have never been good looking anyway.
Aging can be horrifying. I know, I'm up there. It doesn't happen overnight but it happens. It's a big adjustment but we gradually accept it. When I see once gorgeous people now with extremely wrinkled skin, veiny hands, weak bloodshot eyes; thin white hair, hunched over with a walker or wheelchair it's is shocking for me to see. It saddens me. That's why it's important to do as much as you can while you're young. Aging is incredible.
Joan Crawford did the same thing. If a woman identifies with her beauty too much when she has it, it'll lead to a difficult situation as she ages and loses her looks. Some actresses who were beautiful didn't buy into it. Lindsay Wagner, The Bionic Woman for example, never had a face lift, but aged gracefully.
Hedy Lamarr was lovely in her younger years, but she didn't age well. Later in life, she destroyed her face with some bad face lifts. She was also a bit troubled, being arrested twice for shoplifting. She died a recluse in Florida.
The cosmetic surgery she had was botched by the plastic surgeon. She unfortunately got an incompetent doctor. It wasn't her fault. The shoplifting charge was due to her having forgetfulness, absented minded in her later years.
42 years old here. During this period she was married to her fifth husband, W. Howard Lee, a Texas oilman. They were together for about seven years - her longest of six marriages. Lee claimed she was impossible to live with. He married Gene Tierney right right after in his divorce from Hedy in 1960. Ms. Lamarr passed on January 19, 2000, at the age of 85. R.I.P., Eva...
What an amazing woman- beauty, charm, brains, and talent. And here's an extra: "Lamarr's reputation as an inventor is based on her co-creation of a frequency-hopping system with George Antheil, an avant garde composer and neighbor of Lamarr in California. During World War II, Lamarr was inspired to contribute to the war effort, and focused her efforts on countering torpedoes"
Hedy Lamar was Austrian, but passionately anti-Nazi, and she worked hard to support the war effort against Hitler. She also raised a lot of money in War Bonds campaigns.
When Dorothy Kilgallen begins to question the MG, she makes note of her inactivity up to that point. The first two rounds were solved so expertly that the questioning never got to her. She mentions that she and Bennett had been relaxing at their end of the panel, but Bennett at least got to ask two questions of the second challenger.
I came here to see the Hedy Lamarr segment (not because she was beautiful, but because of her patent & her idea of using frequency hopping for radio signals, originally to prevent the Axis powers from jamming the signals of Allied torpedoes, but used today in GPS, wi-fi, Bluetooth, & military satellites), but this whole ep was entertaining!
Recently had to stop watching a movie (in HD on TH-cam) starring Hedy Lamarr - The Strange Woman, 1946. It is a good story but her beauty was just too overwhelming!!! I couldn't cope with it.
And Joan Bennett was so taken with Hedy's face that she dyed her natural Blonde hair, parted it in the middle like Hedy, and it revived her career which was on the downside at that time, so she owed Hedy a lot for her extended career movement. There is a picture of Joan looking at all the professional Hedy photo's In Pininterest.com@@andyvanm1
I have frown lines in between my eyebrows and have been self-conscious about them. Noticing them on Arlene, gives me a whole new perspective, however. She was so beautiful, I'm sure they were just "concentration" lines. She was a smart cookie.
In her movies and still photos Hedy looks like an average starlet beauty, but here I can see the face that could make Claudette Colbert self conscious and make a Hollywood party go silent when she entered the room.
+Tyrander165 Hedy was never an average starlet...in her first American movie "Algiers", she became a superstar based on her beauty alone. The world never saw, at that time someone so beautiful, that everyone was talking about her as they did with Monroe in the '60's
Interesting film, "Algiers". Of course, it's the film that initiated the oft-made remark "Come with me to the Casbah", and starred Charles Boyer as the French jewel thief Pépé le Moko who was in hiding in the large, labyrinthine old native quarter of Algiers known as the Casbah, who wanted to entice the beautiful Gaby to go with him there. Of course, Boyer's character was satirized in Warner Brothers cartoons as the amorous skunk with the French accent, Pépé le Pew. Interesting that this 1938 American film was a remake of a 1937 French film called "Pépé le Moko". It cetainly made an instant star of Hedy Lamarr, just as you said. In this WML episode, Lamarr was 42 and still something to behold.

This is the first time since I started watching the show, that he didn't flip those cards over when the person had 0. He flips them over when they have 30 points (which is why I don't care for John like I used to. He defeats the purpose of the game by doing that, and I HATE that).!But still, he flips over those cards when someone has 30 points, so how come he didn't flip them over when she had NO points? (but yet, with the second guy who had 10 points, he flipped them over)
Dorothy printed in her column at the time, Hedy's movie, "Samson & Delilah" was released, that Hedy was so beautiful in it, more than the Taj Mahal" in Argo. How can you make a comparison between a Human and a Temple?
That's Hedly! Good lord, she's beautiful. No wonder Mel Brooks couldn't get her out of his mind. Not that Anne Bancroft is any slouch either though. Some guys have all the luck.
guess i am not as old as i thought. the only other time i heard the name "Hedy Lamarr" was when Mel Brookes named the character in "Blazing Saddles" "Hedley Lamarr". and a running joke was everyone thinking his name was pronounced "Hedy". she sued Mel for that, and won. according to Mel it wasn't a big lawsuit intended to hurt him, she just wanted a judgment to protect the rights to her name. they settled out of court for a small amount of cash.
I think the dog beautician deserved at least $5. "Do you touch the people who come to you?" Should have been a "no." Shaking hands, which has nothing to do with her work shouldn't count. I recall this same question being asked in other episodes, and the ordinary greeting handshake and the like never counted.

Aging can be horrifying. I know, I'm up there. It doesn't happen overnight but it happens. It's a big adjustment but we gradually accept it. When I see once gorgeous people now with extremely wrinkled skin,
veiny hands, weak bloodshot eyes; thin white hair, hunched over with a walker or wheelchair it's is shocking for me to see. It saddens me. That's why it's important to do as much as you can while you're young. Aging is incredible.
Joan Crawford did the same thing. If a woman identifies with her beauty too much when she has it, it'll lead to a difficult situation as she ages and loses her looks. Some actresses who were beautiful didn't buy into it. Lindsay Wagner, The Bionic Woman for example, never had a face lift, but aged gracefully.
"That's HEDLEY!"
I just rewatched that movie the other day and had the same thought 🤣
Splendid, splendid!
Came here to say this too.
😆😆
Hedy Lamarr was lovely in her younger years, but she didn't age well. Later in life, she destroyed her face with some bad face lifts. She was also a bit troubled, being arrested twice for shoplifting. She died a recluse in Florida.
The cosmetic surgery she had was botched by the plastic surgeon. She unfortunately got an incompetent doctor. It wasn't her fault. The shoplifting charge was due to her having forgetfulness, absented minded in her later years.
The most beautiful girl in the world was also a genius😍
When the panel started singing The Most Beautiful Girl in the World, I started tearing up...that was so sweet! ❤️
That was brilliant. Arleen Francis was on Fire 🔥🤗
18:24 Hedy Lamarr, a mystery guest by popular demand! Her own children!
Hedy looked a lot like Vivian Leigh, especially when she turned her head to the left.
Yeah, that's it: thanks, two years later. I couldn't quite recollect who she conjured in memory but Alas! it's Scarlett. See ya in the future Sandra C
WHY cant the dog lady answer the most basic questions..ie. Is it dogs?
Brainy as well as beautiful.
Hedy Lamarr: Scientist and Inventor!
42 years old here. During this period she was married to her fifth husband, W. Howard Lee, a Texas oilman. They were together for about seven years - her longest of six marriages. Lee claimed she was impossible to live with. He married Gene Tierney right right after in his divorce from Hedy in 1960. Ms. Lamarr passed on January 19, 2000, at the age of 85. R.I.P., Eva...
Tierney was prettier
@@bambi274 nah hedy in her prime was something else 😍
@@bambi274 Oh, please don't start that! Who was "prettier" or not is simply personal opinion, not fact.
@@zzzbbbooo i think im allowed to write my opinion.
It always takes two to tango. Would've liked to hear her side of the story.
Hedley Lamarr, it's 1876, you can sue her!
It's Hedley, Hedley, lol
All those stunts with such tiny feet!
What an amazing woman- beauty, charm, brains, and talent.
And here's an extra:
"Lamarr's reputation as an inventor is based on her co-creation of a frequency-hopping system with George Antheil, an avant garde composer and neighbor of Lamarr in California. During World War II, Lamarr was inspired to contribute to the war effort, and focused her efforts on countering torpedoes"
Dennis Miller
What you say is true beside that she was not a mathematician.
Hedy Lamar was Austrian, but passionately anti-Nazi, and she worked hard to support the war effort against Hitler. She also raised a lot of money in War Bonds campaigns.
Dennis Miller Ms. Lamarr. Created frequency hopping.
In fact, the other inventor you mentioned credited Ms. Lamarr. In a letter thanking her for her invention! She was brilliant!!!
Look nothing like Hedy Lamarr!!????????? What in the world happened to her here?!?
🎶 the most beautiful girl in the world 🎶 Hedy Lamarr!!! ☺️
Anyone remember Vitalis? It comes to mind when I see John Daly....either that or Butch Wax...most will not know what I am talking about.
Daly wore a toupee for many years 😊
Some contestants are not too bright
When Dorothy Kilgallen begins to question the MG, she makes note of her inactivity up to that point. The first two rounds were solved so expertly that the questioning never got to her. She mentions that she and Bennett had been relaxing at their end of the panel, but Bennett at least got to ask two questions of the second challenger.
I came here to see the Hedy Lamarr segment (not because she was beautiful, but because of her patent & her idea of using frequency hopping for radio signals, originally to prevent the Axis powers from jamming the signals of Allied torpedoes, but used today in GPS, wi-fi, Bluetooth, & military satellites), but this whole ep was entertaining!
I came here to see and hear a breath taking beauty.
Recently had to stop watching a movie (in HD on TH-cam) starring Hedy Lamarr - The Strange Woman, 1946. It is a good story but her beauty was just too overwhelming!!! I couldn't cope with it.
LOL 😅😅😅😅
That's a good movie and Hedy is great in it.
She had a delightful and effortless European charm.
The panelists are picking up the British accent from Mr. Chance. Interesting.
Mrs Gaines--pooch stylist--was such a sophisticated beauty, an appropriate opening act for the goddess of sophisticated beauties, Ms Lamarr.
Happy birthday Ms. Lamarr ♥
RUNS BEAUTY SALON FOR DOGS
AUCTIONEER
DESIGNS PRISONS
Beautiful and high IQ...rarity
Great quiz show. Great star. Great video quality.
The Golden Age of TV with class people ....today everything looks cheaply and uneducated
I remember watching this show...I was 4 years old....I told my mommy Hedy was a Hot Stuff Babe and she gave me a spanking
hugh jadonga 😂
Lol
You did the right thing Hugh.
Because at 4 you knew what " hot stuff babe " meant.. right.
Yeah sure you did. Wink wink.
So John turned all the cards over for the British man, but he didn’t turn them over for the lady who had the dog salon.
She received the $50😊
Yes, as brilliant as she was beautiful and gifted
Interesting that one of Hedy's husbands divorced her to marry Gene Tierney who I consider the most beautiful actress.
all in the family
Dont forget husband Markey was also married to the beautiful Joan Bennett
And Joan Bennett was so taken with Hedy's face that she dyed her natural Blonde hair, parted it in the middle like Hedy, and it revived her career which was on the downside at that time, so she owed Hedy a lot for her extended career movement. There is a picture of Joan looking at all the professional Hedy photo's In Pininterest.com@@andyvanm1
I have frown lines in between my eyebrows and have been self-conscious about them. Noticing them on Arlene, gives me a whole new perspective, however. She was so beautiful, I'm sure they were just "concentration" lines. She was a smart cookie.
Robert Q probably one of my favorite fill in panelists. him and the guy with the dummy.
Hedy Lamar....Beauty and brains.
I guess I never saw many Hedy Lamarr movies or I would have remembered how exquisitely beautiful she was!
Joe, she filled the screen. It was astounding how beautiful she was.
Strange Woman check it💎
What a naturally pretty woman
She is simply the most beautiful woman to ever live. And what an intelligent lady, also.
Bluetooth inventor 🤓
Hedy was soooooo beautiful and charming 😀
In her movies and still photos Hedy looks like an average starlet beauty, but here I can see the face that could make Claudette Colbert self conscious and make a Hollywood party go silent when she entered the room.
+Tyrander165 Hedy was never an average starlet...in her first American movie "Algiers", she became a superstar based on her beauty alone. The world never saw, at that time someone so beautiful, that everyone was talking about her as they did with Monroe in the '60's
Interesting film, "Algiers". Of course, it's the film that initiated the oft-made remark "Come with me to the Casbah", and starred Charles Boyer as the French jewel thief Pépé le Moko who was in hiding in the large, labyrinthine old native quarter of Algiers known as the Casbah, who wanted to entice the beautiful Gaby to go with him there. Of course, Boyer's character was satirized in Warner Brothers cartoons as the amorous skunk with the French accent, Pépé le Pew. Interesting that this 1938 American film was a remake of a 1937 French film called "Pépé le Moko". It cetainly made an instant star of Hedy Lamarr, just as you said. In this WML episode, Lamarr was 42 and still something to behold.
average starlet? Jesus I wanna be average looking too
I think possibly the room went silent because Hedy would've been the smartest person in the room.
Yes, she is known as having one of the best faces of all time. She was a true beauty.
I belive Francis is told in advance.
Hogwash😊
Arlene Francis is brillant !
Not as brilliant as Lamarr.
Mrs. Gaines is pretty tense. But here, have one of her husband's designs.

Mr. Chance later became the head of Christie's (in 1958, apparently). Retired in 1972. And now, a formal portrait.

Mr. Litchfield is rather renowned in prison design circles. NYT obit in 1981 says, 'In an interview more than 30 years ago, Mr. Litchfield said he tried to bring an element of humanity to his prison designs, making special efforts to include recreational and educational spaces, and when possible, a touch of beauty. He said he believed the emphasis should be on correcting inmates, not punishing them.'

wow i actually watched this whole thing it wasn't bad .. if they would come out with this today I would watch it ..
+patman0250 I know what you mean...I'm hooked! I watch a couple before I go to bed. It's wonderful and takes me away from the lousy world we live in at present and all its problems...
+Frank Burns I'll bet some people in that era probably thought the same thing!
Jenny Brown Hi. I'm not sure in the same numbers. Back then the only worry was the 'Cold War.' Oh...and Communists under the bed...
Not possible 😮
This is the first time since I started watching the show, that he didn't flip those cards over when the person had 0. He flips them over when they have 30 points (which is why I don't care for John like I used to. He defeats the purpose of the game by doing that, and I HATE that).!But still, he flips over those cards when someone has 30 points, so how come he didn't flip them over when she had NO points?
(but yet, with the second guy who had 10 points, he flipped them over)
I did find that rather odd that he let her leave with zero $ - not something he would usually do.
Hedy Lamarr was arrested for shoplifting in the 1960s and again in the early 1990s. 😆
When Hedy greets the panel you can see Dorothy tip her head slightly for an expected kiss on the cheek but Hedy just shake her hands. 18:53
Dorothy printed in her column at the time, Hedy's movie, "Samson & Delilah" was released, that Hedy was so beautiful in it, more than the Taj Mahal" in Argo. How can you make a comparison between a Human and a Temple?
Yes, that was an obvious disappointment for Dorothy, who was clearly expecting a cheek-to-cheek social "kiss".
That's Hedly! Good lord, she's beautiful. No wonder Mel Brooks couldn't get her out of his mind. Not that Anne Bancroft is any slouch either though. Some guys have all the luck.
A baby doll supreme.
Where did civility like this go?
guess i am not as old as i thought.
the only other time i heard the name "Hedy Lamarr" was when Mel Brookes named the character in "Blazing Saddles" "Hedley Lamarr". and a running joke was everyone thinking his name was pronounced "Hedy".
she sued Mel for that, and won.
according to Mel it wasn't a big lawsuit intended to hurt him, she just wanted a judgment to protect the rights to her name. they settled out of court for a small amount of cash.
Good for her! She seemed like a very classy lady!!
She was beautiful!!! Hedy Lamar
I think the dog beautician deserved at least $5. "Do you touch the people who come to you?" Should have been a "no." Shaking hands, which has nothing to do with her work shouldn't count. I recall this same question being asked in other episodes, and the ordinary greeting handshake and the like never counted.
She was too well dressed. Nobody could handle it.
