Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story
As a Hollywood starlet, Hedy Lamarr was better known for her tabloid scandals than her performances—but behind the scenes she was a secret genius inventor changing the course of history. In the 1940s she starred alongside legends like Clark Gable and James Stewart, and infamously had affairs with the likes of Howard Hughes and JFK. Today Lamarr has re-entered public consciousness as a Hall of Fame-inducted inventor for developing a secret radio system during WWII that paved the way for modern Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology. Bombshell – opening Friday at the Bloor Hot Docs Cinema – tells her whole incredible story for the first time.Screenings:
