America's Most BEAUTIFUL SECRET WEAPON!

In the 1930s, Hedy Lamarr was called Hollywood's most beautiful actress although she didn't care much for show business. "I'm not so crazy about acting," said the star, whose signature raven hair, red lips and pale skin became the model for Disney's iconic Snow White. "All that makeup and getting up so early!"

Despite her startling beauty, Hedy often felt her appearance was a burden that prevented her from being taken seriously. The daughter of a wealthy Viennese Jewish family, she immigrated to America after being signed to MGM for an impressive $500 a week, but preferred to spend her nights tinkering in her home laboratory instead of attending parties. "Any girl can be glamorous," Hedy once said. "All you have to do is stand still and look stupid."
