Gal Gadot Hedy Lamarr

GAL GADOT IS THE PERFECT CHOICE TO PLAY HEDY LAMARR

Gal Gadot has taken her Hedy Lamarr project to Apple TV+, and they are turning the story into an eight part series. We were fascinated to learn that Hedy won a beauty contest in Austria at the age of 12! After she fled Vienna, Louis B Mayer “discovered”(and renamed) actress Hedy Lamarr in England, and introduced her to Hollywood as “the world’s most beautiful woman.” The series will cover her entire 30 year career as an actress and an inventor, not to mention her six marriages. We doubt that those embarrassing shoplifting arrests in the 60’s will be featured because two of her children are involved in the production. Gal Gadot has not only the looks, but the slightly exotic accent that Hedy had.

Gal Gadot Movies Wonder Woman

WHAT WE LIKED ABOUT WONDER WOMAN

The opening scene introduces the island of fierce Amazons magically protected from men and the outside world. They’re supposedly dedicated to their own peaceful, loving society, but are incessantly and violently training to fight. (It’s the 1940’s – couldn’t they find a more scientific way to defend themselves?) The ridiculously sexy metal and leather costumes seemed over the top until one remembers that male superheroes are equally sexualized. Everyone on the Amazon island was cleverly trained to speak with the same light Israeli accent that gorgeous star Gal Gadot has. We LOVED the way Wonder Woman frequently questioned the morals and intelligence of war-mongering men she encountered when she left the island. And we LOVED her first shopping experience. But the relentless and numbingly monotonous fight scenes just kept interrupting. If an hour of explosive violence were cut out, it would be a better movie.
