Hedy Lamarr was one of the most iconic actresses of her day, known for her great beauty and said to be the inspiration for Catwoman and Snow White.But there was a part of her life that almost no one knew about.It turns out, Hedy Lamarr was also a brilliant inventor.A new documentary film about her life opened widely in theaters across the nation this week and will air May 18 on “American Masters” on pbs.Newshour Weekend's Megan Thompson spoke recently to Alexandra Dean, the director of bombshell: the Hedy Lamarr story.Tell us, who was Hedy Lamarr?Hedy Lamarr was a jewish child who was born in Austria in the shadow of the first world war.And then, she became extraordinarily beautiful when she was about, you know, I'd say ten, 11 years old.And that kind of swept her away.She became an actress, and she flees to the United States and convinces Louis B. Mayer to make her his next great star on the silver screen.So, she becomes, you know, a huge... the Angelina Jolie of her day and does all of these films with Spencer Tracy, Clark Gable, Jimmy Stewart.That was the public Hedy Lamarr.But it was the private, unexpected Lamarr who director Alexandra Dean found far more compelling.Inventing was her hobby.She not only had a complete inventing table set up in her house, but Howard Hughes gave her a small version of the set of equipment,which she had in the trailer where she stayed in between takes and her motion pictures.
海迪・拉马尔是她所生年代里，最具标志性的女演员之一，她倾国倾城，据说《猫女》和《白雪公主》的创作灵感均起源于她。但她生活也有鲜为人知的篇章。原来，海迪・拉马尔也是一位天才发明家。本周，关于她的一部新纪录片将在全国上映，5月18日PBS“American Masters”栏目也将进行播放。Newshour Weekend栏目的梅甘・汤普森最近对话影片《尤物:海蒂・拉玛传》的导演，亚历山德拉・迪安。请告诉我们，海迪・拉马尔是谁？海迪・拉马尔出生在奥地利，曾是在第一次世界大战的阴影中生活的一名犹太儿童。随着长大，她变得亭亭玉立，你知道，我会说，也就是10岁，11岁的样子。就这样她一炮走红。她成为了一名女演员，逃到美国，并说服路易斯・B・梅耶让她成为了银幕上的新星。所以，她变成了，你知道，一个超级…她是她那个时代的安吉莉娜・朱莉，与斯宾塞・屈塞，克拉克・盖博以及詹姆斯・史都华都有过合作。这是大家所熟知的海迪・拉马尔。但亚历山德拉・迪安导演却发现了一个隐秘，令人意想不到的拉马尔，更加光芒万丈。发明是她的爱好。在她家里不仅摆放有全套的发明案台，而且霍华德・休斯还给了她配了一整套微型设备，放在拖车里，供她在等待拍下一场戏的间隙使用。
