‘Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story’ Synopsis
Hedy Lamarr, the first actress to appear naked on the big screen, an Austrian-Jewish emigrated engineer, was also the inventor of a secret communication system to fight the Nazis; only towards the end of her life were her ideas given credence, now used as the basis for the security of WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth systems.
She will die in Altamonte Springs, Florida, in 2000, forgotten by all and completely unrecognizable from the plastic surgeries of which she was a first client. “I don’t want to stay here. I don’t want to stay in America. Take me home when I’m dead.” he had asked his children shortly before leaving.
And so it was: her ashes recrossed the Atlantic and were scattered in the cemetery of Vienna, not far from the neighborhood where she had grown up. She not far from where she had believed she could be happy. Behind her, Hedy had left six husbands, three children and one great love: “My father. I’ve always looked for him in every man I’ve met. No one has ever been up to it”.
