Lamarr is occasionally seen on the White Forest menu screen in Half-Life 2: Episode Two.

At one point Kleiner refers to Lamarr as 'heady', a possible reference to this.

Lamarr was named after the late 1930s Australian-born actress and scientist Hedy Lamarr, who contributed to the invention of an early form of spread spectrum communications technology.

Although it seems very unlikely Lamarr survived the event she does drop down from the top of the screen at the end of the credits of the game, before jumping at the camera. Despite Kleiner and Magnusson being aware of the rocket having a small payload anomaly (caused by the weight of Lamarr), Magnusson orders the rocket to be launched anyway and Kleiner unknowingly sends Lamarr off with it. Lamarr is not seen again until the end of Half-Life 2: Episode Two, where she unfortunately climbs into Arne Magnusson's rocket, moments before it is fired into the atmosphere to start a chain of events of neutralize the superportal over City 17. In Half-Life 2: Episode One Lamarr appears in the background of one of Kleiner's evacuation broadcasts, causing chaos around his lab. However the initial teleport Gordon and Lamarr make is to a wasteland where Lamarr jumps off of Gordon and manages to escape. Kleiner manages to recover Lamarr by the time you meet him at Nova Prospekt and Lamarr appears alongside Kleiner when he first opens the door. While attempts are being made to teleport Gordon to Eli Vance's lab Lamarr breaks out of the vent and jumps at Gordon, causing the teleportation to go drastically wrong and Gordon to teleport through a variety of places, before he finally ends up outside Kleiner's lab. Lamarr jumps at Barney, frightening him, before jumping up onto a locker, attempting to attack a bird and then climbing into a ventilation shaft. AppearancesLamarr first appears in Half-Life 2, in Kleiner's lab when Barney opens the door to a small room to present Gordon Freeman with his new HEV suit. Kleiner considers Lamarr to be a female, but it is still unknown if headcrabs actually have genders. Evidence shows that Lamarr subsists on a diet of watermelon. Lamarr also shows signs of tameness as Kleiner's pet, despite the resistance and Barney Calhoun seeming to hold somewhat of a grudge against her. However, Kleiner has managed to de-beak Lamarr, making her unable to latch onto the head of a human and take control of them like a normal headcrab, although she apparently still tries to instinctively couple with the heads of the people around her. Kleiner's place of work and being very exploratory of her environment. CharacteristicsLike all headcrabs seen throughout the Half-Life series, Lamarr seems to be a very active and somewhat aggressive creature, often seen causing mischief around Dr.
