Stop by for a film talk by expert Frank Mandosa on Hedy Lamarr. He'll present a look at the life and career of Lamarr, who missed out on roles in "Casablanca," "Laura," and "Gaslight." At one point, her studio bosses restricted her to selling kisses for war bonds during WWII.
Instead, she invented a covert communication system to help defeat the Nazis; it's the very technology we use today for secure Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth.
Frank will show slides with film clips, some with interactive trivia questions.
There'll also be a photo display, and raffle for a chance to win a movie-themed door prize.
Registration is NOT required.
Thanks to the Friends of the Middleborough Public Library for sponsoring this film talk.
