The ladder of success in Hollywood is usually a press agent, actor, director, producer, leading man; and you are a star if you sleep with each of them in that order. Crude, but true. – Hedy Lamarr
Dates with actors, finally, just seemed to me evenings of shop talk. I got sick of it after a hile. So the more famous I became, the more I narrowed down my choices. – Hedy Lamarr
I remember all too well the premiere of Ecstasy when I watched my bare bottom bounce across the screen and my mother and father sat there in shock. – Hedy Lamarr

I’m a sworn enemy of convention. I despise the conventional in anything, even the arts. – Hedy Lamarr
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. – Hedy Lamarr
I think women are concerned too much with their clothes. Men don’t really care that much about women’s clothes. If they like a girl, chances are they’ll like her clothes. – Hedy Lamarr
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. – Hedy Lamarr
