Hedy Lamarr herself admitted, right out in court, that she couldn't keep Gene Markey home nights! At right, Hedy and Gene in one of the happier moments of their brief married life.
Alice Faye — blonde, gorgeous, famous — couldn't make her marriage to Tony Martin last, even though she was deeply in love. Carole Landis, facing page, is now husbandless.
WHEN Hedy Lamarr herself admitted, right out in court, that she couldn't keep Gene Markey home nights, that tied it! I don't know what your reaction was, girls, but me, I decided to enter a nunnery.
When I heard that Lana Turner and Artie Shaw had rifted; that Myrna Loy, the "Perfect Wife," was rumored having marital difficulties (even though the difficulties were firmly and consistently denied) — well, I thought, now we've really heard everything! Now no woman can boast a year's lease on a man. For, let's face it, if a Hedy Lamarr can't hold her man, nor a Lana Turner ; if the marriage of a Perfect Wife may have its imperfections — what hope is there for the less luscious rest of us ?

But what does astonish nie, what I constantly marvel at is the way the men don't seem to care, particularly, whether they are "held" or not. They seem able to take or leave the Lovelies with the greatest of ease.
No man, so far as I know, has ever done a "Dying, Egypt, dying," over any one of our stars. True, it was said that an Austrian officer committed suicide for love of Hedy Lamarr. A similar story was circulated about Ilona Massey. But Hedy denied it, in her case. Maybe Hedy is too honest. Maybe the sticky, slippery, slithery
Glamor Girls are all nice and folksy and human inside
and who wants a siren to be human, let alone honest?
So, why can't the Hollywood Glamor Girls hold their men? Or why do the men take their dismissals so blithely, so gaily, really, so shruggingly ? WHY? Because, whether the G. Gs. can hold their men, or not, the fact remains that they don't. And Hedy is not the ex'cep
