In the annals of motion-picture achievement, Merle stands somewhere between Marlene Dietrich and Loretta Young. The former is more consistently exotic and carefully sophisticated; the latter is a more fashionable mannequin with a more ingratiating, if forced personality. All three female stars offer contrasting variations of the personification of the Fountain Of Youth.

Venus, as envisioned by Botticelli, came from the sea and so Hedwig Kiesler was reborn Hedy Lamarr, with the blessings of Louis B. Mayer, on the ocean voyage taking her to Hollywood. Internationally famous as a teenager because of her nude aquatic scene in Ecstasy (1933) produced in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Undeniably the most beautiful screen actress of the late 1930s and up to the early 1950s few would disagree. Her beauty took people's breath away. After a sensational American film debut in Algiers (1938) and during her years at MGM, the challenge, the opportunity her mesmerizing beauty offered as a catalyst --- if not for art at least for compelling drama --- was continually fumbled.

"Any girl can be glamorous," Hedy once said. "All she has to do is stand still and look stupid." The film star belied her own apothegm by hiding a brilliant inventive mind beneath her photogenic exterior. In 1942, at the height of her Hollywood career, she patented a frequency-switching system for torpedo guidance that was two decades ahead of its time and now the cell phones today use that system.

Joan Crawford ---- Superstar!!! That face, those arched eyebrows, that red slash for a mouth, those high cheekbones, those wide shoulders and wider shoulder pads, that stare, that walk: That is a MOVIE STAR! No other cinema actress, before or since, has succeeded in establishing and maintaining so definite an impression as a glamorous star. Through her willful and highly concerted efforts, with exhaustless energy and ambition, Joan set out to become the best of the movie stars, never entertaining thoughts of failure. Her first film was Lady Of The Night (1925) and her last was Trog (1970).
