Hedy Lamarr, one of the most beautiful women in film was Austrian-born American film star who was often typecast as a provocative femme fatale. She made dozens of Hollywood films between 1938 and 1958. Algiers (1938), Boomtown (1940), and Samson and Delilah (1949) were her biggest films. She was very attractive and talented, and an extremely famous Hollywood movie star but also an inventor who pioneered the technology that would one day form the basis for today’s WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth communication systems. Lamarr had a brilliant mind but it was ignored and her beauty took center stage when she was discovered by director Max Reinhardt at age 16. She studied acting with Reinhardt in Berlin and was in her first small film role by 1930, in a German film called Geld auf der Straβe (“Money on the Street”). However, it wasn’t until 1932 that Lamarr gained name recognition as an actress for her role in the controversial film, Ecstasy. While in London, Lamarr’s luck took a turn when she was introduced to Louis B. Mayer of the famed MGM Studios. With this meeting, she secured her ticket to Hollywood.
When she came to America, she enchanted American audiences with her grace, beauty, and accent. During MGM's "Golden Age." She starred in such films as Tortilla Flat, Lady of the Tropics, Boom Town, and Samson and Delilah, with the likes of Clark Gable and Spencer Tracey.
During her heyday, Lamarr was considered the most beautiful woman in the world and her face was the inspiration for Disney’s Snow White and for Catwoman.
Hedy Lamarr, the woman many critics and fans alike regard as the most beautiful ever to appear in films, was born as Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler on November 9, 1914, in Vienna, Austria-Hungary [now Austria] in a Jewish family. She died on January 19, 2000 (age 85) in Casselberry, Florida, USA

Welcome to my Artmajeur fine art gallery!
I am a fine art photographer, photo editor-retoucher and photo restorator and colorist from Serbia with years of experience. I mostly do landscape photography but also other genres of photography and I love to photograph all those beautiful scenes that are worth saving forever.
I started doing fine art photography when I was very young. But I can say that I have been actively and more seriously engaged for the last 25 years, maybe even more. I acquired my education through various professional literature, as well as through online courses and tutorials. however, I mainly acquired my skills through many years of practice, learning during creating, and hard work. I found inspiration in the artworks of great masters of painting and photography. I am still trying to improve myself even more and learn something new. My works can be found in several world-famous online galleries and I have also exhibited my works in art galleries and exhibitions in the country.
Here you can buy my artwork prints: fine art prints, canvas prints, metal prints, framed prints that will decorate your home and all of that in the best possible print quality. All you see here are my original artworks, so I do not resale any stock images.
What makes me happiest is when I see that people really like my work and want it hanging on their walls. That makes me work harder and create even more nice artworks. I hope you will like some of my images.
Enjoy.
