Hedy Lamarr (/ˈhɛdi/; born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler, November 9, 1914 – January 19, 2000) was an Austrian-born American film actress and inventor.
If you use your imagination, you can look at any actress and see her nude. . . I hope to make you use your imagination.
I don't believe in life after death. But I do believe in some grinding destiny that watches over us on earth. If I didn't, the safety valve would give and the boiler would explode.
I know why most people never get rich. They put the money ahead of the job. If you just think of the job, the money will automatically follow. This never fails.
I was in constant demand, in my professional life and my personal life.
Sophia Loren would be a glamour girl even if she were in rags selling fish. She has the look, the movement and the intellect.
I have always felt that if a man gives you a solid gold key to his door he is entitled to the courtesy of a visit.
My mother always called me an ugly weed, so I never was aware of anything until I was older. Plain girls should have someone telling them they are beautiful. Sometimes this works miracles.
I never go to funerals. To me a person is dead when he breathes for the last time. After that, your memories should be personal.
I have never liked bargains when it came to sex.
I know when I'm working I seldom get into trouble. My educated guess is that boredom has caused most of the problems with Hollywood celebrities.
I believe in sending a lot of letters and notes to friends.
I have not been that wise. Health I have taken for granted. Love I have demanded, perhaps too much and too often. As for money, I have only realized its true worth when I didn't have it.
I was madly in love with life.
Let any pretty girl announce a divorce in Hollywood and the wolves come running. Fresh meat for the beast, and they are always hungry.
I've been an important star and lived a full life, yet I only hve three close friends. I guess that's all anyone can expect.
All a woman needs is a good bath, clean clothes, and for her hair to be combed. These things she can do herself. I very seldom go to the hairdresser, but when I do, I just marvel.
If I had my way everyone would have a psychiatrist. When the brain is sick and you must throw up, you do it by being purged in a psychiatrist's office.
One of my favorite people is Gypsy Rose Lee. She bears out the Biblical promise that he who has, gets. And I hope she gets a lot more.
Many people are target people. Once when Louis B. Mayer insulted me I poured a glass of water over his head.
The ceremony took six minutes. The marriage lasted about the same amount of time though we didn't get a divorce for almost a year.
