“Hedy Lamarr” will follow the true story of the Hollywood glamour girl, spanning 30 years from Lamarr’s escape from pre-war Vienna; to her meteoric rise in the Golden Age of Hollywood; to her fall and eventual disgrace at the dawn of the Cold War. The show will also go into Lamarr’s life as an inventor, including one invention that became the basis for spread spectrum technology used today.
The notion for the historical drama originated with Gadot and Varsano, who then partnered with Littlefield and Treem. The show fits well with the Apple’s streaming brand thus far, which has focused on premium series headlined by major stars. Other current Apple shows include “Defending Jacob” starring Chris Evans, “The Morning Show” starring Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston, and “Dickinson” starring Hailee Steinfeld.
Gadot was a model and former Miss Israel before she got into acting, making her debut in 2009’s “Fast & Furious.” She is best known for her portrayal of the DC superhero Wonder Woman. She first played the iconic character in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” before starring in the self-titled “Wonder Woman” film. The latter movie went on to gross over $820 million worldwide. She played the character again in “Justice League” and in the upcoming sequel “Wonder Woman 1984.
