Hedy is short for Hedwig Her first husband was extremely controlling and was also a part-Jewish Nazi sympathiser who entertained both Mussolini and Hitler at his grand parties in Vienna. In 1937 Hedy hired a maid who resembled herself, drugged the maid and stole her uniform as a disguise, then fled Austria for Paris to escape and divorce him. On one occasion when running away from her fascist first husband, she hid in a brothel and when her husband came to search the place, a man entered the room and she had sex with him so she could remain hidden. She was arrested for shoplifting twice, in 1965 and 1991 (she was 75).  HOLY MOSES. i think i am in love. scientist+foxness+extraordinary life=love, and a sad feeling that amazing people are so rare.
