This is a tribute to MGM Goddess, actress Hedy Lamarr. It is said that when she was dolled up entered a room, people stopped talking and just stared at her beauty in amazement. I recently saw the film "Hedy Lamarr Bombshell" and was surprised to learn how much she loathed the title of "the world's most beautiful woman". She used to say that "if a woman wants to be glamorous all she needs to do is stand there and look stupid". A large part of this was probably due to the fact that she was also extremely smart. She was responsible for the Invention of Spread Spectrum Technology in WW II. This was originally meant for guiding torpedoes, but would later be developed for wifi and the internet. Her life was hardly perfect. She was married 6 times and began having plastic surgery in her 40's. I think that "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" from the 1933 musical "Roberta" is one of the most romantic songs ever written. The song was composed by Jerome Kern and Otto Harbach and sung by  Tamara Drasin in the original Broadway production. This is an amazing instrumental version of the song.
