The ashes of Lady Hedy
12
Nov
Dear fellow Flynn fans,
the ashes of Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler, also known as Hedy Lamarr, have finally been buried in their homesoil two days prior of the 100th birthday anniversary. Half of them had been scattered in the Viennese Forest some 8 years ago by her children. Austrian documentary “Calling Hedy Lamarr” shows in part the odyssey of the remains of the actress once deemed “The most beautiful woman of Hollywood”.
The city of Vienna sponsored an honorary grave at the Wiener Zentralfriedhof, burial ground of Ludwig van Beethoven, Johann Strauss and Franz Schubert. The grave lies in the proximity of another actor great “the devil`s general” Curd Jürgens. Anthony Loder, author of his mother`s biography “Hedy Darling” attended the rites. It has yet to receive a tombstone.
RIP,

*Oh, yes – and Nazis by Air. But, Please, No One Tell Chuck the Cluck Piggyham’s Estate! Last thing needed is a chapter on how Errol almost ended the careers of Benny Hill and The Beatles via V1 Doodlebugs.

Shoreham Hotel, where Errol Flynn …

… met Earl Conrad to go over the galley’s of My Wicked, Wicked Ways, and played a trick on Conrad by having Woodsie and some teenage girls draped all over the rooms busily editing pages of the book with pencils! Conrad predictably blew his top while Errol innocently asked What’s wrong, old boy?
