Summary:

Austrian actress Hedy Lamarr fled an oppressive marriage to create a name for herself as one of Hollywood's top leading ladies in the 1940s. Behind the glamour and sex appeal, though, was a talented and inquisitive inventor who created a radio system that is now considered the basis of Bluetooth technology. Audience Award winner at the **San Francisco Jewish Film Festival.** Official Selection at the **Tribeca Film Festival.** "*Superb... Recognition (and compensation) proved elusive in Lamarr's lifetime, but in this marvelous documentary, a brilliant woman...finally gets her due.*" - Chuck Wilson, ***The Village Voice***
