Reseña del libro "Hedy (en Inglés)"
The most beautiful woman in Hollywood has a secret: she may also be its greatest genius.Hedy Lamarr arrives on her first Hollywood film set in 1938 with one command from Louis B. Mayer: do what I say and you'll be a star. She must conceal her Jewish heritage, suppress her fierce intelligence, and bury the curiosity that's always defined her. And it works . . . she becomes known as "the most beautiful woman in the world," a Catholic paragon of virtue.But behind the carefully manicured image is a woman desperate for much more than fame.When Hedy meets aviator Howard Hughes--the first man to recognize her beauty and her brain--it stirs in her a desire for a life driven by purpose, not pretense.As Hitler's regime spreads across Europe and German technology threatens Allied forces, Hedy draws on her ingenuity and the dangerous knowledge gained from her troubled former marriage to an Austrian arms dealer. She conceives a radical invention: a frequency-hopping system capable of outsmarting Nazi torpedo jamming.But her greatest battle isn't the science, it's the men who stand in her way. In a world determined to underestimate her, Hedy must decide whether to keep playing the role written for her . . . or risk everything to change the world.Based on extraordinary true events, this is a story of identity, courage, and the groundbreaking invention that would one day power WiFi, Bluetooth, and modern communication.
