Event Details

The Vienna-born actress – and brilliant inventor! – passed away this day in 2000 at the age of 85. In "Lady of the Tropics" (1939-92 min.), half-caste beauty Manon DeVargnes (Hedy) is wooed by playboy Bill Carey (Robert Taylor) in French Indochina, but her second-class legal status makes a formidable barrier. Jack Conway directed, from Ben Hecht’s script.
