Her hasty marriage to a wealthy munitions merchant disintegrates as he grows increasingly controlling and possessive. Even worse--he supplies deadly weapons to Hitler's regime. She flees husband and homeland for Hollywood, where Louis B. Mayer transforms her into Hedy Lamarr, an icon of exotic glamour. Professional success clashes with her personal life as marriage and motherhood compete with the demands of studio and stardom. Motivated by the atrocities of World War II, Hedy secretly invents a new technology intended for her adopted country's defense--and unexpectedly changes the world"--Back cover.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Koloa P/S Library Adult Fiction Porter Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Fiction Porter Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Fiction Porter Checked In Add Copy to MyList
