Editing Hedy Lamarr (section)

====Later films====
Lamarr enjoyed her biggest success playing [[Delilah]] against [[Victor Mature]] as the [[Samson|Biblical strongman]] in [[Cecil B. DeMille]]'s ''[[Samson and Delilah (1949 film)|Samson and Delilah]]'', the highest-grossing film of 1950. The film won two Oscars.<ref name=doc/>

Lamarr returned to MGM for a [[film noir]] with [[John Hodiak]], ''[[A Lady Without Passport]]'' (1950), which flopped. More popular were two pictures she made at Paramount, a Western with [[Ray Milland]], ''[[Copper Canyon (film)|Copper Canyon]]'' (1950), and a [[Bob Hope]] spy spoof, ''[[My Favorite Spy (1951 film)|My Favorite Spy]]'' (1951).

Her career went into decline. She went to Italy to play multiple roles in ''[[Loves of Three Queens]]'' (1954), which she also produced. However she lacked the experience necessary to make a success of such an epic production, and lost millions of dollars when she was unable to secure distribution of the picture.

She played [[Joan of Arc]] in [[Irwin Allen]]'s critically panned epic, ''[[The Story of Mankind (film)|The Story of Mankind]]'' (1957) and did episodes of ''[[Zane Grey Theatre]]'' ("Proud Woman") and ''[[Shower of Stars]]'' ("Cloak and Dagger"). Her last film was a thriller ''[[The Female Animal]]'' (1958).
