Date Sold 2/3/2019Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 2 RE-STRIKE 11x14 stills of Hedy Lamarr. Hedy Lamarr, surely one of the most beautiful women ever, was born in 1914 (or was it 1913?). She was born Hedwig Kiesler in Vienna Austria, and she appeared in movies in Germany and Czechoslovakia as a teen. In 1933, she stunned the world when she appeared in the Czechoslovakian movie Ekstase (released internationally as Ecstasy) because she both appeared completely nude and in sex scenes! Naturally that caught the eye of Hollywood, and she was signed by MGM and renamed, although her next movie was not for five years later. She held on to her beauty quite well throughout the 1940s (nicknamed "The Most Beautiful Woman in Films"), and her biggest hit came at the end of that decade, playing Delilah to Victor Mature's Samson. She had a complicated private life! She is credited with major scientific inventions, and she had run-ins with the law for shoplifting. In 1974 Mel Brooks named one of the lead characters in Blazing Saddles "Hedley Lamarr", and she sued him over that! She is also best remembered for her roles in Show Business at War, The Love Goddesses, and H.M. Pulham, Esq. She passed away in 2000 at the age of 85. Note that these stills were printed from the original plates, likely in the 1970s by dealers, and are high quality, but are NOT originals from the 1940s. Be sure not to bid on these thinking they are from the 1940s or studio issued, as they are NOT! Note that this is one of fifteen bulk lots of 11x14 re-strike photos we are currently offering. They were created by a Hollywood memorabilia shop, either in the late 1960s or in the 1970s, and as described above, they were almost certainly printed from the original negatives, which came into the hands of dealers at that time. Many re-strikes have been unknowingly (or knowingly) sold as originals from the 1930s or 1940s, but these are definitely not (but they DO look great on your wall, and 99% of people would not know they were not an original).
