According to Hedy Lamarr's autobiography, she and Gene Markey started proceedings to adopt James in 1939. When their marriage broke down in 1940, she claims to have fought to adopt the boy on her own. She then claims her third husband, John Loder, adopted James when they married. Following Hedy's death, James claimed he was in fact the birth child of Hedy and John, conceived when they had an affair some years before they married.
