HEDY LAMARR: BORN IN ECSTACY Will Premiere At United Solo Festival

Hedy Lamarr: Born in Ecstasy is a solo show, portraying the Hollywood Icon Hedy Lamarr during decisive moments of her life: her arrival in America, after signing with MGM despite her role in the scandalous movie "Ecstasy", her amazingly influential inventions and patriotism during the war, and finally how she left MGM to create her own company to be able to play the roles she deserved. She led a life that was a lot more thrilling and full of surprises than most movies! She was described as « the most beautiful woman in the world » but she was so much more than just a pretty face, she also had an incredible mind.
