F09M Hedy Lamarr: Beauty and Brains (Hybrid/In-Person)

In-Person | Available (Membership Required)

[NEW CLASS] Hear the name Hedy Lamarr and the first thing that likely comes to mind is: “The Most Beautiful Woman in the World”. But Hedy was much more than a beautiful actress; she was a feminist, a pioneering female film producer, a ski resort designer, and, much to our benefit today, a ground-breaking inventor. This class will touch upon all of these facets as we seek to understand this complex woman. Audio/Visual, Lecture
