“Hedy Lamarr’s life has been really fascinating. Today’s women and society as a whole owe her a lot of change because she was at the forefront of them. And Gal Gadot is the ideal actress to play such a complex personality. Given the contribution of talents such as Sarah Treem and Warren Littlefield, the production will be really special ‘.
However, the entire project has been taken over from Showtime by Apple’s platform. According to the publication, the eight-episode mini-series will follow “the incredible story of one of the Hollywood stars.
