This week, we celebrate the life of one of Hollywood’s loveliest leading ladies.  Born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler in Vienna, Austria, she had become a European movie star while still in her “teen” years.

 

In 1937, with war clouds threatening Europe, she left Austria in the dead of night for Hollywood.  And in 1938, her international star status, her head-turning beauty, and a name change to Hedy Lamarr, turned her into one of the darlings of American cinema – and there’s more, and a surprising twist to the story.

 

Stories from History’s Dust Bin is a 3-volume set of historical short stories. These are the nuggets of gold that had fallen by the wayside… the little known and unusual. Many of these gems were destined to be forever lost until they were collected, dusted off and brought back to life by author Wayne Winterton.

 

Each podcast episode features one of the over 450 stories featured in Winterton’s Award-Winning* series, narrated by either the author, his son, William Winterton, or his daughter, Jana.

 

If you enjoy today’s episode, please leave us 5 stars and a glowing review on iTunes! And if you don’t want to wait a whole week to hear another story from the Dust Bin, consider picking up the books on Amazon (either downloadable or good ol’ fashioned ink and paper).
