Gal Gadot is set to star in Showtime's Hedy Lamarr limited series
-
The Wonder Woman star is closing in on a deal to star on the limited series from The Affair co-creator Sarah Treem and The Handmaid's Tale producer Warren Littlefield. The limited series will chronicle the life of Lamarr, who was not only a classic film actress but an inventor whose inventions led to WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. Gadot, according to Deadline's Nellie Andreeva, had been looking to do a project about Lamarr. "I hear Treem came up with an idea on how to tell Lamarr’s remarkable story that Gadot sparked to," says Andreeva. "The project was taken to Showtime through Treem’s relationship there." The role would mark Gadot's first major American TV project. She would also serve as executive producer.
