About us
What do the most ravishingly beautiful actress of the 1930s and 40s and the inventor whose concepts were the basis of cell phone and bluetooth technology have in common? They are both Hedy Lamarr, the glamour icon who was the inspiration for Snow White and Cat Woman and a technological trailblazer who perfected a radio system to throw Nazi torpedoes off course during WWII.Weaving interviews and clips with never-before-heard audio tapes of Hedy speaking on the record about her incredible life; from her beginnings as an Austrian Jewish emigre to her glittering Hollywood life to her ground-breaking, but completely uncredited inventions to her latter years when she became a recluse, impoverished and almost forgotten.
Dir. Alexandra Dean, US, 2017, 88 mins.
