3. Hedy Lamarr – a “road picture”

I believe you have Ms. Lamarr confused with Dorothy Lamour.

Bertie Wooster: As others have mentioned, Mickey Rooney’s stereotyped Japanese role was in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, not My Fair Lady. Both films did star Audrey Hepburn, of course. By the way, this is the first post of yours I’ve seen, so welcome to the boards! I recognize your screen name as being inspired by the works of this man.
