Hedy Lamarr

[A_Denial]

Is Dr. Kleiner's headcrab named after the actress Hedy Lamarr? I didn't really think about it until I saw how it was spelled, and I'm sure when he is looking for her (suggests more) he says "There's only one Hedy!". Hmm, I feel like I have answered my own question in a way. But does anyone know any significance of this, or do you think that Dr. Kleiner is simply a big fan?

It's mostly just a good pun on headcrab I think. Also Hedy Lamarr supposedly invented some frequency hopping stuff or something, so it could be a tribute in that way.

BTW this has been brought up a few times, you might like to search on it for more information.

I thought it was a Blazing Saddles reference, but then I figured I'm probably wrong on that one.

The strategy guide confirms it, she is named after the actress.
