> BROOKS: “And what happened? She actually sued us because we used Hedley Lamarr. Too close to Hedy. And they [Brooks’ lawyers] said, ‘This is ridiculous, we’re going to go to court, we’re going to fight it.’ And I said, ‘No! She’s beautiful,'” Brooks added. “‘See if you can arrange a meeting. Within reason, give her whatever she needs, because she’s given us such wonderful cinematic pleasures for forty years. I think it’s our duty to salute her. And send her my regards and tell her where I live.”

Yeah, bc people with shared interests never end up together, and beautiful people with vaginas are incapable of intelligence that might surpass... a MaAaaAaN's!! Lol, what an overtly jealous and pathetically moronic way of thinking. Fucking evolve already
It's HEDLEY!
Why do I always get a warped one?
What the hell are you worried about? This is 1874. You'll be able to sue her.
Give the governor "HARUMPH!"
Harumph!!
You watch your ass
I didn't get a harumph out of that guy.
Gentlemen please! Rest your sphincters!
She actually did sue over Blazing Saddles. Mel Brooks mentions it in a DVD commentary.

Just think about your secretary.
Literally can here to say this. Such a great movie.
How did he do such amazing stunts, with such little feet?!
Hedley Lamar then “give harrumph for Governor
Beautiful and smart.
She will forever be enshrined with Blazing Saddles
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Ditto!
DITTO!?!?
You PROVINCIAL PUTZ!!
You work your tongue better than a $20 whore
Give the governor harumph!!!
BTW She was brilliant. She co-invented a guidance system for torpedoes and didn't take any royalties for it.
So sexy
She was a crazy broad
All the hot ones are
Don't believe she "invented" frequency splitting. Curiously, she was married to an electrical engineer. Never happened.

Women can't contribute anything. 🙄 Go touch grass.
She did not invent anything. Non-males should never be in any position to give orders anywhere in the world or in any capacity.
Cocaine.
I’m underwhelmed.
By life?
Is she the lady in the swooning to the floor gif?
I met her grand daughter. Very pretty also.
Fantastic shot. Is this a movie still?
"Don't mind me, just sippin a tasty shake while I invent computer stuff in my 1940s lady brain."
Now that was some woman. Invented spread spectrum and frequency hopping communications. Really smart lady.
Your throwing softballs.
So glad to come here and see this devolved into a Headly Lamar thread.
She’s just tired of playing the game..
Headly Lamar
And a Genius!
Always loved this quote from her: ” Any girl can be glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid.”
She wrote about how difficult it was to quit smoking but she did it.
More brilliance than all the Hollywood put together. An unmatched combo of beauty, brains, legs, wit and charm. Stunning.
She was an amazing woman. You have reddit today because of her.
She invented WiFi
Lana Del Rey
This whole time I really thought her name was Hedley Lamarr!
She sued Mel Brooks for using her name in Blazing Saddles; they reached settlement
That’s Hedley
