Starlet and screen siren Hedy Lamarr was actually so much more. From her 1933 role in an erotic film to her multiple inventions—including an untraceable radio-controlled torpedo signal and the cellular technology now used in WiFi—Lamarr lived a very full life. Alexandra Dean’s eye-opening documentary portrait weaves together rare recordings and interviews with excerpts from Lamarr’s own diary to reveal this genius of science and film. Narrated by Susan Sarandon and voiced by Diane Kruger.
