BOMBSHELL: THE HEDY LAMARR STORY [IMPORT]

Details

• Release Year: 2018
• Genre: Documentary
• Plot: Hedy Lamarr was a Hollywood icon famous for playing scandalous roles (she ran nude in 'Ecstasy' in 1933) and having a stunning face (she inspired 'Catwoman'), but no one knew she had a mind far more extraordinary than her image. Through never-before-heard tapes, BOMBSHELL: THE HEDY LAMARR STORY reveals Lamarr's true experience in her own words, from her beginnings as the trophy wife of a ; weapons manufacturer for Hitler, to her escape to America and the creation of brilliant inventions for the Allies in WWII including a secure radio guidance system for torpedoes. Weaving interviews with friends, family and Hollywood greats (Mel Brooks, Peter Bogdanovich, Robert Osborne), BOMBSHELL brings to light the full story of this astonishing woman—ignored, misunderstood and uncredited, and yet satisfied, at the end of her life, that she did change the world by creating a communication system that we use in our Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth today. ;
