Surprised Hollywood doesn't make a movie about her life

Just watched a American Masters biopic about her, a beauty who wanted to be known for her brains. It would fit right in with the times.

Most millinials and Genxers probably have never heard of her.

A period piece is expensive, and lack of name recognition (time kills) might make this venture unprofitable.

That would be really cool. Now the question is...who can play Hedy Lamarr?

I might get crucified for this. I could see Jessica Alba pulling it off

Well I did some digging and apparently Gal Gadot is attached to play her in a miniseries;though that article was two years old. I don't see either her or Alba to be honest.

"What the hell are you worried about, this is 1874 - you'll be able to sue HER!"

Her level of beauty would be difficult to match.
