The author shares her new novel, The Only Woman in the Room — a powerful mix of fact and fiction surrounding the amazing life of actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr (1914-2000).
Born in what was still the Austro-Hungarian Empire as Hedwig Eva Marie Kiesler, the future American movie star managed to escape the rising Nazi movement. She spent World War II (1939-1945) dividing her time between acting and fighting for the United States and its allies. This included invented a way to transmit radio signals that could not be tracked or jammed. The technology was first used in guided torpedoes and has since been applied in other areas.
Admission is free. For more information, call (412) 856-0369.
