Hedy Lamarr's exotic beauty was heralded across Europe in the
early 1930s. Yet she became infamous for her nude scenes in the
scandalous movie "Ecstasy." Trapped in a marriage to one of
Austria's munitions barons, a friend of Mussolini's who hid his
Jewish heritage to become an "honorary Aryan" at the onset of World
War II, Lamarr fled Europe for Hollywood, where she was transformed
into one of film's most glamorous celebrities, appearing opposite
such actors as Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, and James Stewart. As
her career faded, she went from one husband to the next, her
personal troubles and legal woes casting a shadow over her
phenomenal intelligence and former image.
Stephen Michael Shearer separates the truth from the rumors
regarding the life of Hedy Lamarr, and highlights her astonishing
role as inventor of a technology that has become an essential part
of everything from military weaponry to today's cell phones.
