a Hollywood
star)[/b]rnrn[img]http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/4215/titlescreen.jpg[/img][/center]rnrnrnTold
through interviews with film historians and people who knew her, Hedy
Lamarr: Secrets of a Hollywood Star (2006) offers a workmanlike
biography of the rise and fall of a leading lady of Hollywood\'s
Golden Age. rnrnBorn Hedwig Kiesler in Vienna, Austria on November 9,
1914, she achieved international notoriety for appearing nude and
simulating an orgasm in the Austrian-Czech production Ekstase
(Ecstasy, 1933), following which she married the first of her six
husbands, Fritz Mandl, a prominent Austro-fascist arms dealer.
rnrnWith the collapse of her first marriage, Kiesler signed a contract
with MGM, changed her name to Hedy Lemarr, and immigrated to
Hollywood. Beginning with Algiers in 1938, she made a dozen films for
MGM working opposite the likes of James Stewart, Spencer Tracy and
William Powell. However, Lemarr developed a reputation for not wanting
to work, turning down leads in Gaslight, Casablanca, and other films
that would have solidified her place at the forefront of
Hollywood\'s leading ladies. rnrnLet go from MGM in 1944, Lamarr
worked independently on a number of films, a couple of which she also
bankrolled. Though she continued to make movies until 1958, the apex
of her post-MGM career was Cecil B. DeMille\'s 1949 epic Samson
and Delilah opposite Victor Mature. Financial problems, shoplifting
charges, and treatment for nervous exhaustion finally ended her
declining career, and she moved to New York City, and later to Florida
WHERE she died on January 19, 2000. rnrnFilmmakers Donatello &
Fosco Dubini, and Barbara Obermaier construct their workmanlike
85-minute biography from new interviews and from an extended
German-language interview conducted with Ms. Lamarr in 1970. The
picture that emerges is of a woman that was bright but deeply
troubled, who left a wake of failed marriages and estranged children
behind, and died a recluse.
