| Biography (TMDB): | Hedy Lamarr (born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler; November 9, 1914 – January 19, 2000) was an Austrian-born actress and technology inventor. She was a film star during Hollywood's Golden Age. After a brief early film career in Czechoslovakia, including the controversial Ecstasy (1933), she fled from her first husband, a wealthy Austrian ammunition manufacturer, and secretly moved to Paris. Traveling to London, she met Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio head Louis B. Mayer, who offered her a movie contract in Hollywood. She became a film star with her performance in Algiers (1938). Her MGM films include Lady of the Tropics (1939), Boom Town (1940), H.M. Pulham, Esq. (1941), and White Cargo (1942). Her greatest success was as Delilah in Cecil B. DeMille's Bible-inspired Samson and Delilah (1949). She also acted on television before the release of her final film, The Female Animal (1958). She was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960. At the beginning of World War II, she and avant-garde composer George Antheil developed a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes that used spread spectrum and frequency hopping technology to defeat the threat of jamming by the Axis powers. This system later became the basis for what is now known as Bluetooth. Description above from the Wikipedia article Hedy Lamarr, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia. |

a few good exhale scenes from Hedy Lamarr, but this B&W flick did not live up to its advance billing IMHO. |
Come Live with Me
|

Only one scene, where she goes back to Jimmy Stewart's place , and he gives her a cigarette. One decent inhale/exhale, she mostly holds for the brief scene. |

There is one and only one scene of her smoking, and only one puff. But a must see. |
H.M. Pulham, Esq.
|
smokingsides
Two scenes, one near the beginning, one at the very end. The first is in near closeup with Hedy wearing black gloves and using a holder. She takes a drag, a little smoke escapes, and then she gives a pretty decent exhale. The second scene is at the end, and she just holds. She's playing an older version of her character in both scenes, but is still very attractive. |
