The strikingly beautiful Lamarr was the inspiration for Snow White and Cat Woman, but spent much of her life trying to be taken seriously as more than just a Hollywood icon. A technological trailblazer, she also perfected a secure radio guidance system that is still used today. Never-before-heard audio tapes of Lamarr speaking about her incredible journey—from her beginnings as an Austrian Jewish emigre to her glittering Hollywood life to her ground-breaking, but completely uncredited inventions. 90 minutes, 1 DVD or Blu-ray disc. Color and B&W.
