It's no secret that Hedy Lamarr was a screen goddess and icon of the 1930's, the 1940's, and even into the 1950's. A career which spanned decades, author Devra Hill was one of the few individuals granted access by Hedy into the private moments of her legendary life. Most people knew about the public Hedy, the persona that made headlines in the newspapers. But only Devra Hill got close enough to know her intimate secrets revealed to her through many shared moments of conversation they had together. Devra says "A cunning and brilliantly manipulative woman as exemplified in my chapter involving Hedy's tryst with Adolph Hitler." Although initially taken by him against her will, Hedy remained in his good graces long enough to receive a diamond encrusted cigarette case as a gift from one of the most hated men of the twentieth century. Only Hedy could soothe the savage beast." In "What Almost Happened to Hedy" the reader is faced with some fascinating questions ie; What was it that Hedy Lamarr knew during her liaisons with Adolph Hitler? Why did she know men but never really knew love? Was she really as sexual as everyone imagined? What was it inside the mind of Hedy Lamarr that really made her tick? Hedy Lamarr fans will truly enjoy author Devra Hill's excellent writing and perhaps come to understand a more intimate side of the actress that most of us will never know..
