When you hear the name Hedy Lamarr, who do you picture? A smoldering temptress, perched on velour cushions, in the 1949 Hollywood classic Samson and Delilah? Or a demure, professionally dressed inventor, deep in the throes of ingenuity, pursuing scientific ideas generations ahead of her time?
History At Play introduces you to a woman clouded in a fantasy world that only Tinseltown could create. Experience this immersive living history event and watch as a young Austrian refugee transforms to become the most beautiful woman in the world, while inventing technology that would forever change the world.
