Three Children but a Lot of Loneliness
Throughout her six marriages and divorces, Hedy Lamarr had three children: James, Anthony, and Denise. She became estranged from James Lamarr Loder quite early on, and spent nearly five decades without even speaking to him, and didn’t even speak to her children much in her later years.

The last few decades of her life were mostly spent in seclusion, without any significant relationships or contact with other people. It was an unfortunate way for such a brilliant woman to spend her final years and she died on January 19, 2000. She was 85 and died of heart disease.
