Phot-o' the Day: the Grave of Hedy Lamarr, Vienna, Austria


The Phot-o' the Day is the grave of Hedy Lamarr, from the Vienna Central Cemetery, Vienna, Austria.  I paid my respects to this actress and inventor in December 2018.

If in all of your years of tourism, you visit only one cemetery, I would highly recommend Vienna's Central Cemetery.  It is an easy tram ride from Vienna's tourist core.  And a huge number of ornate gravesites await you, including those of many famous individuals from the world of classical music (Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert), pop music (Falco), and science (Boltzmann).  And from Hollywood and the world of invention.  Ms. Lamarr was born in Vienna in 1914 and died in Central Florida in 2000.
