The Female Animal (1958)
50KThe Female Animal: Directed by Harry Keller. With Hedy Lamarr, Jane Powell, Jan Sterling, George Nader. An aging film star and her alcoholic daughter compete for a handsome extra.
“This movie was Hedyu0026#39;s last. It was intended as her comeback film but her time had past. The plot was a rip off of Sunset Blvd. Hedy plays a aging, movie star named Vanessa Windsor who has a party girl brat adopted daughter. Ms Lamarr was 45 years old when this movie was made and she aged well. This movie is pure late 50u0026#39;s in theme and fashion. If you can find this film on TV which it seldom appears, ( I found a pirated copy on Ebay ) it is a worthwhile film but it paleu0026#39;s to Hedyu0026#39;s glory days of the 40u0026#39;s. It is always fascinating to see the stars of the silver screen of the 30u0026#39;s and 40u0026#39;s in their more mundane later work.”
