Description
Hedy Lamarr became famous for the first depiction of a female orgasm in film history, in Gustav Machatý's Ecstasy. Her determination and literally otherworldly beauty eventually found their place in Hollywood, where Hedy became an admired goddess of the silver screen. However, she also made a name for herself as an inventor. Her work on frequency hopping, which became the "great-grandfather" of Bluetooth technology, was a significant part of the anti-Nazi resistance. A sex symbol, a kleptomaniac addicted to plastic surgeries, a bitter woman who never reconciled with the decline of her fame? Many legends circulate about Hedy Lamarr. Michaela Lindingerová, based on new sources, debunks established clichés and paints a completely new picture of the former "most beautiful woman in the world."
