Description:
Join us on Zoom to discuss the 2017 documentary Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story.
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, though, was a talented and inquisitive inventor who created a radio system now considered the basis of Bluetooth technology. Audience Award winner at the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival. Official Selection at the Tribeca Film Festival. (English, 1 hour 28 minutes)
“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.
Library cardholders can stream the film on Kanopy.
