Miss Hedy Lamarr gets a Google Doodle on her birthday [well... she wasn't just a stunningly beautiful film star - she did invent Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, I suppose].
The equally impressive Miss Dorothy Dandridge [above], who shares her birthday - and died, prematurely, 50 years ago - doesn't get anything.
Never mind - on this Tacky Music Monday it is a rather rare appearance by the latter that I have selected to cheer us up as we prepare for another week's toil!
Have a good week, folks.
Dorothy Jean Dandridge (9th November 1922 – 8th September 1965)
Has anyone ever paused to consider the sheer mind blowing weirdness of the life and times of Hedy Lammar? Had she never existed I don't think any novelist would have come up with her life as a fiction.
ReplyDeleteRemarkable woman. Is it any wonder that everyone from Louis B. Mayer to Andy Warhol adored her? Jx
Deletedon't forget me, i adored her too!
DeleteAnd poor Miss Dandridge still fades into the background, it seems. Jx
