My parents know Hedy’s son and that’s all I have to contribute to this post.

I am looking forward to this project since it was announced last year. I've read a lot about Hedy and her story is inspirational but also crazy as hell.
Also, I'm glad Hollywood actresses are producing more. It's a way to expand their carreer and be more in control of their work.

Gal Gadot is beautiful but it's hard for actors today to try and capture that Golden Age of Hollywood 'it' factor of the women working back then. So many of them had no or minor facial surgery due to the limitations of the day that their looks were frequently so unique because of it.

I think Hedy did end up having surgery later on in her life but you're right, her beauty was otherworldly. However I don't think Gal is a very good actress so I'm not crazy about this casting.

Yeah, Hedy actually worked with her plastic surgeon on her procedures and made suggestions on how to improve them.

The documentary about her on netflix goes in a bit about this.

I don't think that's why, I think it's just the type of face that was popular then. Like Gal has a super unique face...? Also they did have plastic surgery, like Marilyn Monroe had some - there's a list of things she did (https://www.yourtango.com/2017302073/7marilyn-monroe-plastic-surgery-boob-job-beauty-secret), who knows how many others did and how extensive it was.

Hedy Lamarr’s beauty was overrated lol. I actually think Gal is prettier than her.

I'll take it.

Gal has no range as an actor. She can smile.. and that’s it. Otherwise she just looks kind of confused regardless of the emotion she’s supposed to be portraying.

accurate

I wish I liked her acting more

Pass. Shame they cast an actress with no range.

mte, i love hedy but couldn't be less interested in this

God this is everything I have ever wanted.

i think the right make-up/eyebrows could help but gal's an incredibly limited actress so we'll see!

?.....Ok
That's an interesting casting.

It's Hedley!!!

...I'll show myself out.

I want it

I can't believe there hasn't been a hedy Lamarr Movie/miniseries yet

Gal Gadot is gorgeous, but she's not a great actress. I liked her in Wonder Woman but part of it was just like the Keanu Reeves fitting great in the first Matrix movie factor, she was excellent at marveling at things and being confused by the world around her and took care of the rest with looking stunning in wistful still shots. Hedy Lamarr is such an interesting personality, I don't know if Gal has the range for it.

My grandmother nannied for Hedy’s children. I didn’t know much about her as an actress when she would talk about her but now I feel like I see things on her all the time. I wish my grandma was still around to talk about it. I feel like I would appreciate her stories more now.
