Description
Hedy Lamarr – A Woman Torn Between Dazzling Hollywood and the Spirit of Invention ***** Vienna, 1937. ***** Young actress Hedwig manages to escape from her tyrannical husband in a grand manner. In America, she becomes an overnight star under the name Hedy Lamarr and, thanks to her beauty, an icon of Hollywood. Men are at her feet – yet hardly anyone cares about what she has to say. After filming, Hedy dedicates herself to her great passion: inventing. ***** To contribute to the defeat of Hitler, she developed a new technology that later served as the basis for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. However, no one takes the idea of a beautiful woman seriously, and for many years she falls into obscurity... ***** In the late thirties and early forties, there was surely no one in the United States who did not know the beautiful Hedy Lamarr. Few, however, realized that the Hollywood diva was inventing a system in her spare time that would change the modern world many years later.
