“CRITIC’S PICK. Ms. Dean relates Lamarr’s ventures, those onscreen and off, with savvy and narrative snap.”
– Manohla Dargis, THE NEW YORK TIMES

“A thoroughly engaging EYE-OPENING showbiz doc!”
– John DeFore, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

“A MASTERFUL portrait of a most complex character.....restores Lamarr’s rightful place in the history not only of film, but of science as well.”
– Yael Friedman, THE ECONOMIST

“A THRILLING account of Lamarr’s adventures.”
– ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

“As detailed in Alexandra Dean’s affecting new documentary... Lamarr was not only the most beautiful woman in Hollywood...but quite possibly the smartest person in the movie industry of any gender... Bombshell is the best vehicle Lamarr ever had.”
– J. Hoberman, TABLET

“SUPERB... MARVELOUS!”
– Chuck Wilson, THE VILLAGE VOICE

What do the most ravishingly beautiful actress of the 1930s and 40s and the inventor whose concepts were the basis of cell phone and bluetooth technology have in common? They are both Hedy Lamarr, the glamour icon whose ravishing visage was the inspiration for Snow White and Cat Woman and a technological trailblazer who perfected a secure radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes during WWII. Weaving interviews and clips with never-before-heard audio tapes of Hedy speaking on the record about her incredible life—from her beginnings as an Austrian Jewish emigre to her scandalous nude scene in the 1933 film Ecstasy to her glittering Hollywood life to her ground-breaking, but completely uncredited inventions to her latter years when she became a recluse, impoverished and almost forgotten—BOMBSHELL: THE HEDY LAMARR STORY brings to light the story of an unusual and accomplished woman, spurned as too beautiful to be smart, but a role model to this day.
