The Name Game: Who's That Lady?

Mystery Woman #2, the clues: She started making movies in her mid-teens and became famous while still very young.

Gilby did it again, recognizing Hedy Lamarr (born Hedwig Kiesler in Austria). Hedy was only 18 when she became an international sensation in the Czech film Ecstasy. Louis B. Mayer renamed her and she went on to become one of MGM's most stunning stars. Her beauty tended to overshadow her brains (she was co-inventor of early spread spectrum communications technology, a basis of modern wireless communication) and her talent. But what a face she had!!

Thanks to all who joined in this week, the game will return next Tuesday morning...

Mystery Woman #1, the clues: She made her first films while still a teenager...

Gilby recognized Jean Harlow (KC and Avalon agreed) Harlow began in films in 1928 when she was still in her teens. She became one of the top stars of the '30s and died suddenly in 1937 at the height of her career - and the tender age of 26. By the way, Turner Classic Movies will be airing one of her films, Suzy (1936), with Cary Grant in the morning on May 4.
