Hedy Lamarr

“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.”

“I advise everybody not to save: spend your money. Most people save all their lives and leave it to somebody else. Money is to be enjoyed.”

“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'd rather wear jewels in my hair than anywhere else. The face should have the advantage of this brilliance.”

“Dirt makes a man look masculine. Let your hair blow in the wind, and all that. It's OK. All you have to do is look neat when you have to look neat.”
