Beautiful Woman Hedy Lamarr in Dishonored Lady DVD (1947)Hollywood bombshell Hedy Lamarr lights up the screen in Dishonored Lady, a poignant and moving story of love and tragedy. Lamarr, who is often remembered just for her magnificent beauty, was a serious actress and this was a subtle and layered performance. Lamarr is Madeleine Damien, an emotionally conflicted and overworked magazine editor who decides to take a new direction with her life. Embracing her passion for art and making it her new career, she also finds wholesome romance with a good natured doctor. But all gets put in jeopardy when she gets mixed up with an old lover who’s less scrupulous, and involves her in a murder. Dishonored Lady is a top flight dramatic experience, thanks largely to taut dialogue and sharp acting. Also, did I mention Hedy Lamarr is a real looker?
