The Wonder Woman star will headline and executive produce Showtime’s limited series about the film actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr.
The project hails from The Affair co-creator/executive producer Sarah Treem.
“The life of Hedy Lamarr was a truly fascinating one. She stood at the forefront of many issues that challenge women and our society today,” said Showtime’s President of Entertainment Jana Winograde. “In Gal Gadot, we have found the transcendent actress to portray the deeply complex Lamarr. And with the award-winning talents of Sarah Treem and Warren Littlefield, this is going to be a special series.”
Lamarr immigrated from Europe in the ‘30s and took Hollywood by storm. She appeared in multiple films alongside actors like Judy Garland, Lana Turner, Spencer Tracy, Jimmy Stewart, and Clark Gable.
A production date for the still-untitled project has yet to be announced.
