Summary Hedy Kiesler's beauty leads to a starring role in a film and marriage to a powerful Austrian arms dealer during World War II. She escapes from her controlling husband and lands in Hollywood becoming Hedy Lamarr. She is also a scientist and has an idea that might help the country and that might ease her guilt for escaping alone -- if anyone will listen to her.
