anticipation in audiences Maya hoped she would become another Greta Garbo or
Marlene Dietrich according to one viewer when her face first appeared on the
screen everyone gasped Lamar's Beauty literally took one's breath away in
future Hollywood films she was invariably typecast as the
archetypal glamorous seductress of exotic origin her second american film

of regular dietrich collaborator Josef von Sternberg von Sternberg was fired
during the shoot replaced by Frank Baz Agee the film was put on hold and Lamar

film quote delivered with provocative invitation
I am don delaio I make Tiffin for you this line typifies many of Lamar's roles

heavenly body 1944 then was borrowed by Warner Brothers for the conspirators
1944 this was an attempt to repeat the success of Casablanca 1943 and RKO
Bharata for a melodrama experiment perilous 1944 black attempt malamar was
teamed with Robert Walker in the romantic comedy Her Highness and the
bellboy 1945 playing a princess who falls in love with a New Yorker it was
very popular but would be the last film she made under her engine contract her
off screen life and personality during those years was quite different
from her screen image she spent much of her time feeling lonely and homesick
she might swim at her agents pool but shunned the beaches and staring crowds
when asked for an autograph she wondered why anyone would want it
right - Howard sharp interviewed her and gave his impression Eddie has the most
incredible personal sophistication she knows the peculiarly European art of
being womanly she knows what men want in a beautiful woman what attracts them and
she forces herself to be these things she has magnetism with warmth something
that neither Dietrich nor Garbo has managed to achieve author Richard Rhodes
describes her assimilation into American culture of all the European Emma Gray's
who escaped Nazi Germany and Nazi Austria she was one of the very few who
succeeded in moving to another culture and becoming a full-fledged star herself
there were so very few who could make the transition linguistically or
culturally she really was a resourceful human being I think because of her
father's strong influence on her as a child
wartime fundraiser Lamarr wanted to join the National Inventors Council but was
reportedly told by Nick member Charles F Kettering and others that she could
better help the war effort by using her celebrity status to sell war bonds she
participated in a war bond selling campaign with a sailor named Eddie
Rhodes Rhodes was in the crowd at each Lamar appearance and she would call him
up on stage she would briefly flirt with him before asking the audience if she
should give him a kiss the crowd would say yes to which Hedy would reply that
she would if enough people bought war bonds after enough bonds were purchased
she would kiss Rhodes and he would head back into the audience then they would
head off to the next war bond rally later films Lamarr enjoyed her biggest
success playing Delilah against Victor Mature as the biblical strongmen in
Cecil B DeMille of Samson and Delilah the highest-grossing film of 1949 the
film also won two Oscars nineteen lamar returned to MGM for a film noir
with jang-ho diac a lady without passport 1950 which flocked more popular
were two pictures she made at Paramount a Western with Ray Milland Copper Canyon
1950 and a Bob Hope spy spoof my favorite spy 1951 with John ho D a keen
a lady without passport 1950 her career went into decline she went to Italy to
play multiple roles in lots of three Queens 1954 which she also produced
however she lacked the experience necessary to make a success of such an
epic production and lost millions of dollars when she was unable to secure
distribution of the picture she was Joan of Arc in irwin allen's critically
panned epic the story of mankind 1957 and did episodes of Zane Grey theater a
proud woman and shower of stars cloak and dagger her last film was a thrill of
the female animal 1958
although Lamar had no formal training and was primarily self-taught
she worked in her spare time on various hobbies and inventions which included an
improved traffic stoplight and a tablet that would dissolve in water to create a
carbonated drink the beverage was unsuccessful Lamarr herself said it
tasted like alka-seltzer among the few who knew of Lamar's inventiveness was
aviation tycoon Howard Hughes she suggested he changed the rather square
design of his aeroplanes which she thought looked too slow
to a more streamlined shape based on pictures of the fastest birds and fish
she could find Lamarr discussed her relationship with Hughes during an
interview saying that while they dated he actively supported her tinkering
hobbies he put his team of science engineers at her disposal saying they
would do all make anything she asked for during World War two Lamarr learned that
radio-controlled torpedos an emerging technology in naval war could easily be
jammed and set off course she thought of creating a frequency hopping signal that
could not be tracked or jammed she contacted her friend composer and
pianist George Ann tile to help her develop a device for doing that and he
succeeded by synchronizing a miniaturized player piano mechanism with
radio signals they drafted designs for the frequency hopping system which they
patented and Heil recalled we began talking about the war which in the late
summer of 1940 was looking most extremely black Perry said that she did
not feel very comfortable sitting there in Hollywood and making lots of money
when things were in such a state she said that she knew a good deal about
munitions and various secret weapons and that she was thinking seriously of
quitting and going to Washington DC to offer her services to the newly
established inventors council their invention was granted a patent under US
patent two million two hundred and ninety two thousand three hundred and
