Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story

Starlet. Screen Siren. The Most Beautiful Woman in the World. All phrases used to describe 1940’s Hollywood actress Hedy Lamarr. Alexandra Dean’s illuminating documentary adds Inventor to the list. An Austrian Jewish émigré who acted by day and drew mechanical and electronic inventions by night, Lamarr came up with a “secret communication system” to help the Allies to beat the Nazis. Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story is a film for lovers of history, Hollywood and science.

The screening will begin with a short introduction to the importance of STEAM curriculum for our youth by Gibbes Executive Director Angela Mack; and will be followed by a Q&A with director Alexandrea Dean.

$25 – proceeds will benefit the Gibbes Museum
