Ecstasy and Me

Ecstasy and Me: My Life as a Woman is the alleged tell-all style autobiography of Austrian-born actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr, ghostwritten by Leo Guild and Cy Rice and first published in 1966.

[1] In 1966 Lamarr's lawsuit to overturn the book was refused by a Los Angeles judge.

[3] Lamarr condemned the book's contents as "fictional, false, vulgar, scandalous, libelous and obscene".

[4][5] During a 1969 appearance on The Merv Griffin Show, she responded to a comment from host Merv Griffin regarding Ecstasy and Me by stating "Don't talk about that, that's not my book" and mentioned writing a book of her own called Hedy.

[6] In a 1970 interview with The New York Times, Lamarr noted that her material was "misused and distorted" and that she did not receive any funds from the book.
