She was stunning. She had brilliance. Could the planet support both? a Hedy Lamarr book.
Kiesler Hedy is fortunate. Even though she is Jewish, her beauty gets her a prominent part in a contentious movie and a marriage to a wealthy Austrian armaments merchant, which helps her avoid Nazi persecution. Hedy is smart, too, however. She learns about the ambitions of the Third Reich at opulent dinner parties in Vienna. Desperate to get away from her domineering husband and the advent of the Nazis, she disguises herself and leaves her husband's castle one night in 1937.
After arriving in Hollywood, she becomes cinematic sensation Hedy Lamarr. Hedy is a scientist, which is a secret perhaps more startling than her Jewish ancestry. If anybody would listen to her, she has an idea that may benefit the nation and lessen her guilt for fleeing on her own.
