Hedy Lamarr was called the most beautiful woman in the world, but she was so much more. From her early role in a pre-war erotic film to her invention of the cellular technology used in WiFi, Lamarr's life was filled with excitement and intrigue. Rare recordings, interviews, and excerpts from Lamarr's own diary expose how this secret genius with a scandalous past never received the respect she deserved — in film or in science. Narrated by Susan Sarandon, voiced by Diane Kruger.
Submitted for 2017 Feature Documentary Academy Award.
