Description
Born Hedwig Kiesler in Vienna in 1913, at the age of seventeen she became norotious for her role in Ecstasy, a scandalously erotic film. At the age of twenty she was unhappily married to a Nazi arms dealer. Lamarr fled to America at the start of World War II; she brought with her not only her theatrical talent but also a gift for technical innovation. An introduction to Antheil at a Hollywood dinner table culminated in a U.S. patent for a jam- proof radio guidance system for torpedoes, the unlikely duo's gift to the U.S. war effort.
