About the Film: What do the most ravishingly beautiful actress of the 1930s and 40s and the inventor whose concepts were the basis of cell phone and bluetooth technology have in common? They are both Hedy Lamarr, the glamour icon whose ravishing visage was the inspiration for Snow White and Cat Woman and a technological trailblazer who perfected a radio system to throw Nazi torpedoes off course during WWII. Weaving interviews and clips with never-before-heard audio tapes of Hedy speaking on the record about her incredible life—from her beginnings as an Austrian Jewish emigre to her scandalous nude scene in the 1933 film ECSTASY to her glittering Hollywood life to her ground-breaking, but completely uncredited inventions to her latter years when she became a recluse, impoverished and almost forgotten—BOMBSHELL: THE HEDY LAMARR STORY brings to light the story of an unusual and accomplished woman, spurned as too beautiful to be smart, but a role model to this day.
PLEASE NOTE for all prizing: Ticket winners will be awarded a PDF ticket voucher that will entitle them to redeem TWO (2) tickets to see “Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story” at The Music Box Theatre in Chicago IL, valid for available show times from Monday, January 22, through Thursday, January 25, 2018.

I want to see Bombshell because I am a huge Hedy Lamarr fan. I have her her biography, have several of her movies and people have said that I even look like her!
I think it’s life imitating art. Would love to see this film in memory of the most beautiful and smartest actress. I do not have a Twitter account so I am posting here since I cannot tweet message.
Such a fascinating woman and interesting documentary. Thank you so much for entering and Good Luck 🙂
Hi Angela, Congratulations, you are one of our winners! I emailed you regarding your tickets. If you don’t receive the email, please let me know. Thanks!
I want to see Bombshell because Hedy Lamarr was such a talented and amazing person, and I find it mystifying that so few people still just know of her only as an actress, if at that, and not for the amazing renaissance woman she was. So I am very excited that there is a documentary that may finally do justice to her mind and life.
Hi Paola, Congratulations, you are one of our winners! I emailed you regarding your tickets. If you don’t receive the email, please let me know. Thanks!
I’d love to win tickets to see this movie because I’m a huge classic film lover. Heddy Lamarr has a fascinating story, and it’s great that a film has been made about her life. She was so much more than her glamorous looks. I don’t think there’s enough of a spotlight on the fact that she was an inventor, and it’s great that this film will potentially touch on that and her other accomplishments. She’s a wonderful role model from that era. I can’t wait for this to come out!
