    The name "Hedley Lamarr" was, obviously, a play on Hedy Lamarr, who sued the filmmakers for using her name.

      Mel Brooks did not even try to defend against this. He is a huge admirer of her. He thought it was appropriate to pay her and apologise for any offence she may have taken from the gag. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQef9PqjKbG/ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQef9PqjKbG/

    It's a reference to a famous Mel Brooks cowboy comedy (Unforgiven, 1992)
