Today, The Kansas City Star featured an article on 20th-century Hollywood film star Hedy Lamarr. It seems Lamarr is the Star of the Month on Turner Classics Movie channel.
This image of Lamarr by Clarence Bull is featured in the exhibition In the Public Eye: Photography and Fame.
Lamarr had quite an interesting life. After escaping from Germany in the 1930s, she struggled to be taken seriously and spent most of her career being mismanaged by movie studios and directors. One tidbit I never knew was that she was responsible for publicizing the technology that is used in cell phones.
You can see her films on Thursday nights on TCM in the month of April. Be sure to come see her glorious image and others through June 15.
