Description
Hedy Lamarr—Hollywood star, the girl who became the inspiration for Disney’s Snow White and Wonder Woman, the first nude woman on screen in the history of cinema, and the creator of the technology behind Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS.
Fritz Mandl—an Austrian industrialist, a young owner of an arms factory who built one of the largest fortunes on the planet through arms sales to clients such as Mussolini, Hitler, and Franco.
When, in 1933, Fritz sees the film “Extase” starring Hedy Lamarr, he becomes obsessed with her. And he won’t stop until he gets her—against her will.
Their love story was not perfect: there were infidelities, a flight to another continent, threats, and reunions—but it marked some of the brightest events of the twentieth century.
