Gal Gadot Will Star in a New Showtime Series Based on The Life and Career of Hedy Lamarr

Gal Gadot has landed the lead role in a new Showtime series that is based on the life and career of a real-life wonder woman, Hedy Lamarr. 

Lamarr was born in Austria and went on to become one of the most famous American film stars of her generation, appearing in classics like Samson and Delilah, Boom Town, and Come Live With Me. Lamarr was also a celebrated inventor, credited with creating a frequency-hopping signal during World War II that could help the Allies disrupt radio controlled torpedoes.

The series was created by Sarah Treem, the creator and showrunner of Showtime acclaimed drama The Affair, which is coming to an end. She will write and executive produce the series alongside Gadot.

Thanks to Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot is a big star in Hollywood and it's great to see her take on other projects. After all, she just can't play Wonder Woman the rest of her life. This series seems like a great project for her.
