■ A few months ago, the Hollywood columns were filled with brisk speculation about a new romance Hedy Lamarr was said to be having with a mysterious San Francisco millionaire. One columnist stated that every weekend the infatuated fellow was flying to Hollywood to be with Hedy. Another knowingly announced that it was only a matter of time before Hedy yielded before his cyclonic advances and murmured "Yes." It seemed clear to another authority that this admirer had the inside track to Hedy's affections. What did this burning romance actually amount to? Nothing. It's true that Hedy and the millionaire — and he was a millionaire^— did meet at Lake Tahoe, where Hedy was having a holiday with her children. The stranger admired her beautiful youngsters, got himself introduced to Hedy — and then asked permission to take a picture of the tots. Permission was granted, he snapped his camera, said thanks a lot — and that was that. Yet the little incident was enlarged upon by Hedy in her own mind, given romantic trimmings by onlookers and gossips, and represented as a mad passion by the eager press. (Continued on page 104) Reginald Gardiner, the British comedian, spent lots of time with Hedy and it was rumored that he'd become her second husband. Reggie is now happily married to Nadia Petrova. 60
