[Discuss] Bombshell:The Hedy Lamarr Story

[Deryk Barker (Honorary Colleague)]

Lamarr was also the subject of Andy Warhol's 1966 movie Hedy (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0218325/) complete with soundtrack by the Velvet Underground.

I think it was inspired by her 1965 arrest for shoplifting (she would also be arrested for the same offense in 1991).
