Book review - "Hedy Lamarr: The Most Beautiful Woman in Film" by Ruth Barton

 Not bad. Covers the whole life. Maybe a bit thin on the films. But in Barton's defence Lamarr's life and career was so magnificently improbable it would take a longer book to do justice - Jewish, marriage to rich man, film career, nudity, escapes with jewels, meets Louis B Mayer, signed to MGM, stardom, exotic love life, invents wi-fi on the side, struggles post war as many of her kind did, blew a lot of money but bounced back via lawsuits. Lamarr is an enaging person to spend time with in the book.
