#22  As a wireless industry member I can tell you I have never seen an RF engineer remotely as attractive.

My college roommate became an RF engineer; he's designing electronics for the defense industry now. As he's the Humblest Man On the Net, I don't think he'd mind being compared to Hedy -- and found lacking.

#21  Don't act like you didn't see that coming Barb. After all, this is the Defender-Scimitar page. Boys will be boys.

#19  Fred, I knew Hedy invented FHSS. However, I had never seen this picture of her. Teh picture here was the only one I'd seen. She was smoking. As a wireless industry member I can tell you I have never seen an RF engineer remotely as attractive.

#18  Thavick, that was exactly my thought when I selected that picture. Glad everyone seems to pretty much agree!

#15  Hey, if she's frequently hopping, then she's OK with me!

And I think it's Heady . . . .

#14  Her film was banned in Europe? Little wonder she's instantly become a Rantburg favorite.

#13  Originally named Hedley Keisler, she starred in a German film called "Ecstacy" where she had a nude scene as well as a very graphic (facial expressions and vocal) sex scene. Film was banned for quite awhile in Europe and US; I actually saw it on cable in US (uncut) a couple of weeks ago. And yes, I agree with all the teenage boy comments since I have had them myself.

#3  How anyone could confuse her and Harvey Korman is a fricking mystery.

#2  I knew who she was, but I don't think I ever saw her photo. Thanks, Scooter!
