Hedy actively participated in the national war bonds drive. Along with her old friend Greer Garson and others such as Irene Dunne and Ronald Colman, she was one of the headliners in the Stars over America tour. Hedy visited sixteen cities in ten days and is credited with selling $25 million in bonds. In one day alone, according to most accounts, she sold $7 million worth of bonds. Titus Haffa, a Chicago businessman, made the headlines by suggesting that he would buy a $25,000 war bond if Hedy kissed him; later he reneged, saying that he would kiss her if she bought a bond to that tune. - Hedy Lamarr: The Most Beautiful Woman in Film
