Watching it as we speak!
Someone sent me an email about Hedy Lamarr this past week. This woman was a genuine hero and a brilliant inventor. An amazing woman and now, a personal hero of mine. Oh, if Hollywood would only see fit to do a movie of HER life. She is a woman to be admired, a role model for young girls, not some ditz like the Sandra Flukes of the world..who wouldn’t know hardship and bravery if it smacked them with a 2X4.
“Oh, if Hollywood would only see fit to do a movie of [Hedy Lamar’s] life.’
You are right, that would be good. I suppose she doesn’t fit the “narrative”.
And how about George Washington Carver? I did a ‘black history month” report on him goodness knows how many decades ago. Years later a friend of mine (very liberal btw) told me that around the world he is so revered for his discoveries and how they helped reduce hunger and want, that there are statues to him all over. But not here. He doesn’t fit the post-sixties grievance era narrative.
Maybe it would be good to do a series of TV documentaries about people like this. What could you call it? Outside the Story Line? Something like that.
