Young girls growing up all around the world dream of many things, but dominant among them are the dream of being a genius inventor and the seemingly contradictory one of being a drop dead gorgeous movie star. Vienna-born Hedy Lamarr somehow managed to do both, simultaneously being known as the ‘most beautiful woman in the world’ and the person who helped invent bluetooth, a real pioneer in wireless communication. Lamarr escaped Vienna immediately after the Anschluss and headed to the US, where her film career took off as her inventing one did, and she soon became a real household name. This special exhibition at the Jewish Museum looks at her early years, specifically those spent in Vienna and Berlin.
